1966 OPC Batman Blue Bat #38B Beware the Batarang

Centering: left border appears notably wider than right (~70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders appear roughly 55/45 — left-to-right miscentering is the primary concern. All four corners show visible rounding and wear, consistent with heavy handling; no corner is sharp. Surface shows significant soiling/toning across the artwork face, with what appears to be creasing or wrinkling in the upper-left quadrant and possible light staining. Gloss appears substantially reduced. The card is gradable but condition defects — rounded corners, apparent surface crease, toning, and off-centering — collectively push this into the VG to VG-EX range at best; the crease evidence and corner wear argue for a PSA 3, with a 4 possible only if the surface crease resolves as toning rather than a fold under direct light.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 — horizontal off-centering is the primary grade limiter. Corners appear to show light-to-moderate rounding on the visible corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; no sharp corners are evident. Surface shows some gloss loss and light toning on the white border areas typical of this 1966 vintage issue; no creases are visible in this image but the Comc watermark obscures the center of the card face, preventing full surface assessment. Edges look reasonably clean with no severe chipping; the rough-cut character normal for OPC is noted and not penalized. Range widened slightly due to watermark obstruction hiding potential surface flaws.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65-70% of horizontal margin on left), top border slightly wider than bottom, suggesting roughly 65/35 L/R and 60/40 T/B — manageable but not tight. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible (top-left and bottom-left appear blunted), consistent with a VG-range card. Surface shows significant soiling or darkening in the top-left corner area and along the upper edge, with what appears to be paper/surface wear or staining — this is the primary grade-killer. Edges appear rough but that is normal for vintage OPC/Topps 1966 cuts. The watermark obstructs the center of the card, preventing confident assessment of any surface creases in that zone; a crease cannot be ruled out, which is why the floor sits at 2.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (approx 60/40 L/R), top border noticeably narrower than bottom (approx 65/35 T/B) — centering is below NM range but not catastrophic. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (upper-left and lower-left are most visible), consistent with VG to VG-EX wear. Surface shows significant soiling and wear in the upper-left area — dark staining or paper loss evident near the top-left corner which is a meaningful grade-suppressor. Gloss appears largely gone with overall toning and surface grime visible; no obvious hard crease is confirmed from this photo but the surface damage and corner wear collectively suggest a PSA 3 is most likely, with the upper-left damage potentially pushing toward a 2 if more severe than the photo resolves.
