Default You won't believe this...

I don't know what to make of the centering on the back.

The red block overhangs on the left side, so I would tend to not call it a central part of the design. The important elements on the back are all there, and not horribly centered. None of the text is missing. If it weren't for the red block, you'd say nothing about the centering.

You can see some of the next card, but it appears that you can see all of this one, so perhaps this card is a little big.

I'd analogize this to '53 Bowman Color, where the black diamond is sometimes snipped off a little bit. These cards aren't miscut.

I have much less experience than many of you, but if that is wax on the back, I'd call this VG because of the minor back damage. The scrapes on the back bother me less than a crease on the front. I would have to downgrade to G if that is tape. I don't think backs are anywhere near as important as fronts.
