1966 OPC Batman Black Bat #50 Beastly Encounter — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 60/40 L-R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) — centering is acceptable for a 6-7 range. Corners appear reasonably sharp from this distance with no obvious rounding visible on the two most accessible corners (bottom-left, top-right), though the top-left and bottom-right are partially obscured by the image angle. Surface shows good color saturation and gloss retention consistent with EX-MT to NM condition; no visible creases or staining. Edges appear clean with no major chipping; rough cut texture is normal for this OPC/Topps vintage issue and not penalized. Back is not visible, so hidden defects cannot be ruled out — range widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring the right side), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not severely so, likely in the EX to EX-MT range without triggering OC. All four corners show visible rounding/softness, most notably the bottom-left and top-left corners, which pushes this away from NM territory. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible at this resolution, consistent with the rougher OPC cut stock. Surface shows some gloss loss and possible light handling wear; no creases are apparent from this view, though the back cannot be assessed. Overall condition reads as EX range, with corner wear being the primary grade limiter.

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly tighter than bottom (~50/50 T/B) — centering is reasonably acceptable and not a primary grade driver here. Corners: at this resolution the corners show some rounding, particularly visible on the lower-left and upper-right, suggesting wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range; no corner is sharp enough to suggest NM territory. Edges appear intact with no major nicks visible, consistent with normal vintage handling. Surface shows decent gloss retention with no obvious creases or staining visible from this photo, but the card back and corner micro-detail are unavailable, limiting confidence — a hidden crease or heavier corner wear could push this toward a 4.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is quite good and not a limiting factor. Corners appear reasonably sharp with no obvious rounding visible at this resolution, though the lower-left and upper-right corners show very slight softening consistent with light handling wear. Edges look clean with no major nicks visible; the cut appears slightly rough on the right edge but this is normal for the 1966 OPC/Topps vintage issue. Surface gloss appears present with minor print texture typical of the era; no creases or staining are detectable. The seller's NRMT claim is optimistic — at this resolution the card reads comfortably in the EX-MT (6) range, with NM (7) possible if corners prove sharper under close inspection; EX (5) is the floor if subtle corner rounding is present that the photo obscures.
