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

Overall: This is a vintage raw mini card with visible age-appropriate wear but no obvious major damage visible in the photos. It presents as a solid collector copy for its grade tier rather than a high-grade example.

Centering: Centering appears reasonably balanced on the front with only mild shift, though the image is not perfectly symmetrical. The back also appears generally centered, but exact measurements cannot be confirmed from the photos.

Corners: Corners show light wear consistent with age, with some softness visible rather than sharp factory-fresh points. No severe corner bends or heavy dings are obvious in the provided images.

Edges: Edges appear lightly worn with minor chipping or roughness expected on a 1975 mini card. The border shows some age wear, but no major edge tears are visible.

Surface: Surface wear appears modest and consistent with a raw vintage card. I do not see a major crease, heavy stain, or pronounced surface damage in the photos, though minor handling wear may be present.

Print Quality: Print quality looks acceptable for the era, with the photo and text remaining readable. I do not see obvious severe print defects, but the images are not detailed enough to rule out very small production imperfections.

Color: Colors remain vivid, with strong purple and pink borders and clear image color on the front. The back print is legible and shows normal age toning rather than severe fading.

Gloss: The front appears to retain some original sheen, though any gloss is naturally muted by age and handling. No obvious excessive gloss loss or heavy residue is visible in the photos.
