🔍 Condition Report & Grade Estimate
We have carefully re-evaluated this raw card to ensure an accurate description for your collection.
-
- Corners & Creasing: The corners are relatively sharp with light touches of wear consistent with age. However, there is a minor, almost invisible small crease in a bottom corner that brings the overall technical grade down slightly.
- Edges: The edges remain clean and solid, showing minimal chipping or dings along the card stock.
- Centering: The centering on the front remains very good, measuring around 55/45 to 60/40.
- Reverse: The O-Pee-Chee bilingual reverse side is bright and clean, free of any pencil marks, severe staining, or common wax damage.
Taking the minor corner crease into account, we provide a conservative and realistic raw estimate of VG-EX 4. This card still retains excellent overall eye appeal and is ideal for a vintage binder.
