TroCuri grade analysis. Every defect TroCuri observed is listed below so you can verify against the photos.

Overall: This is a raw vintage mini card with age-consistent wear and no obvious severe creases visible in the provided photos. The card presents as a solid collector copy, though not high-grade, with visible handling and storage wear on both sides.

Centering: Front centering appears generally acceptable, with the image and borders looking reasonably balanced for the mini format. The back appears slightly shifted within the frame, but not severely off-center.

Corners: Corners show light to moderate softening consistent with a vintage raw card. No extreme corner bends are visible, though the edges do not look sharp.

Edges: Edges show noticeable age wear and minor whitening in areas, especially typical of a 1970s mini card. I do not see heavy chipping, but the edges are not clean enough for a high-grade claim.

Surface: The surface shows normal vintage handling wear and some dullness from age. I do not see obvious deep scratches, heavy paper loss, or major creasing in the photos.

Print Quality: Print quality appears acceptable for the issue, with the back text and front image remaining readable. Any minor print softness looks consistent with the manufacturing era rather than damage.

Color: The green front color remains strong and the back retains readable contrast. There is some age toning and general vintage fade, but no obvious severe color loss is visible.

Gloss: Gloss appears limited, which is typical for this era and paper stock. The card does not show a strong original gloss finish, and visible age dulling is present.
