1966 OPC Batman Black Bat #17 Spikes of Death — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-right), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 — centering is off horizontally but not severely. Corners: all four corners appear reasonably sharp from this distance with no obvious rounding visible, though the top-left and bottom-right corners warrant closer inspection. Surface: gloss appears intact with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects noted; some minor print texture consistent with vintage OPC/Topps stock is present. Edges look clean with no visible nicks or tears, though the slightly tighter left border and the limitations of a single seller photo prevent a confident read above EX-MT; back condition unknown.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B) — centering is acceptable for EX range. Corners: at photo resolution the corners appear to have mild rounding consistent with light handling wear; no razor-sharp points are evident, suggesting EX to VG-EX territory. Surface: artwork area shows no obvious creases or staining visible at this resolution; gloss appears moderate with some dulling consistent with age. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chips or tears noted, though the rough-cut texture normal for 1966 OPC stock is present; no adjacent card printing visible so no miscut flag applied.

Centering: left border appears roughly 10-12% of card width, right border slightly narrower at ~8-10%, top border ~10%, bottom border slightly heavier at ~12-14% — left/right approximately 55/45 and top/bottom approximately 45/55, centering is reasonably tight and not a major grade drag. Corners: all four corners show light rounding consistent with handling wear; no sharp points visible under normal inspection, placing this in the EX to VG-EX range. Surface: gloss appears moderate with some minor wear and possible light surface scuffing in the mid-left area, but no visible creases or staining; print quality looks clean with no notable snow. Edges: slightly rough cut consistent with OPC production norms and not penalized; overall the card presents as a solid EX (5) with an outside chance of EX-MT (6) if corners are sharper than they appear, or VG-EX (4) if the surface wear is more significant than the photo reveals.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T/B) — off-center but not severely miscut. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in this view (lower-left and upper-right appear most worn), consistent with a VG-EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and light toning/aging typical of the 1966 vintage stock; no obvious creases are visible in this photo though the back cannot be assessed. Edges appear slightly rough but this is normal for OPC/Topps 1966 cuts and should not be over-penalized. The range of 3–5 reflects uncertainty about corner sharpness on the hidden corners and the possibility of back-side issues.
