Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom approximately 55/45 — acceptable for NM-MT range. The black border shows no obvious chipping or edge wear visible at this resolution. Corners appear relatively sharp with no obvious rounding visible on any of the four corners, though the bottom-left and bottom-right corners are slightly harder to assess due to the yellow banner. Surface gloss appears intact with no creases or print defects evident; the image is clean and well-saturated. Wonder Bread cards were mass-produced on thinner stock than Topps and often show handling wear quickly — the back cannot be assessed and hidden corner softness or print defects remain a downgrade risk, warranting a cautious range of 6–8.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 65/35 in favor of the left, meaning the image is shifted slightly right; top/bottom borders appear roughly 60/40, image shifted slightly downward — borderline for NM-MT but within EX-MT range. The black border on the right (logo side) appears noticeably thinner than the left, consistent with the common off-center tendency of this issue. Corners at this resolution appear to show light rounding on at least the bottom-left and top-right, suggesting wear consistent with EX-MT to EX range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases or staining visible, though the photo cannot confirm the back or edges definitively. The seller's 'SHARP!!' claim is plausible but centering and corner wear prevent a high NM estimate; a PSA 6 (EX-MT) is the most likely outcome with 5–7 representing honest uncertainty across corners and edges not fully resolvable from this single front image.

Centering estimate: left black border approximately 3mm, right black border (behind logo strip) approximately 4mm — left/right roughly 45/55, acceptable; top border approximately 3mm, bottom banner approximately 5mm — top/bottom roughly 38/62, slightly bottom-heavy but within EX-MT range. All four corners show some rounding visible even at this resolution, with the upper-left corner appearing the most worn — consistent with EX to VG-EX territory. The black border shows light scuffing along the left edge and the lower-left area. Surface gloss appears moderate with some dulling, no obvious creases detected but the COMC watermark partially obscures the center image area making crease detection unreliable. The black border of Wonder Bread cards is notoriously unforgiving of edge and corner wear, and what is visible here suggests this card grades most likely EX (5), with VG-EX (4) possible if corners are more rounded than they appear, and EX-MT (6) possible if the edge scuffs are shallower than they look.

Centering: left border appears roughly 10-12% of card width, right border (logo area) roughly 15-18%, top border narrow ~8%, bottom banner proportional — centering is workable but the black borders show chipping and wear. All four corners exhibit visible rounding and wear, most pronounced at the top-left and bottom-left corners. Edges show significant fraying and roughness consistent with heavy handling. Surface shows gloss loss across multiple areas, with scuffing and possible light crease lines visible especially in the lower-left quadrant, though the COMC watermark partially obscures that region. The combination of rounded corners, edge wear, and surface degradation places this squarely in the VG (3) range, with VG-EX (4) as the optimistic ceiling if the surface crease visible bottom-left is shallow, and GOOD (2) as the floor if deeper creases are confirmed on inspection.
