Condition Report:
- Centering: The card shows typical 1970s O-Pee-Chee centering, slightly shifted toward the top-left on the back, but still well within acceptable vintage standards.
- Corners: The corners show moderate wear, with some visible "fuzziness" characteristic of an Excellent (EX) grade. No major rounding is present.
- Edges: The edges are relatively clean for a raw card of this age, with minimal chipping common to the OPC rough-cut of the era.
- Surface: The green ink on the back is vibrant and clear, with the text remains perfectly legible. There are no major creases or staining visible.
Grade Estimate: EX 5 (A realistic vintage grade given the corner wear and minor centering shift).
