A few thoughts:
- If the card is not trimmed, then a numerical grade is in order. It's tough to determine without looking at the sides of the edges. The third side, if you will. I only mention this because the card looks a bit short from top to bottom. Yes, I realize T206 and other cards issued 100+ years ago do vary in size naturally.
- So, if a numerical grade is in order...does a 4 make sense for this card? These days, people flock to the Altar of Almighty Centering. Sharp, in focus cards get slammed for being o/c. Cards with soft corners and/or poor registration get big bumps for being centered. This card has good "eye appeal" going for it, so a 4 makes sense.
- I personally wouldn't give a card the VG-EX grade with a crease, even a very minor one. The crease on that Joss is beyond minor. I'd cap it at VG. However, if we're talking about me saying 3 and PSA saying 4, we're not worlds apart.
