1966 OPC Batman Red Bat #16A Portable Bat Signals

Centering estimate: left border ~8mm, right border ~5mm, top border ~6mm, bottom border ~5mm — approximately 62/38 L/R and 55/45 T/B; left-heavy but not extreme. The more serious condition issues are surface wear: visible diagonal scratch/crease running across the upper-left quadrant of the card face (crossing Batman's cowl area), plus additional scuffing and surface creasing across the mid-card. Corners show moderate-to-heavy rounding on all four, consistent with a VG-to-VG-EX range. Gloss is largely gone with significant surface wear throughout. The combination of rounded corners, visible surface crease/scratch, and overall gloss loss places this card firmly in the VG (3) to VG-EX (4) range, with the surface crease likely pulling it toward the lower end. A back inspection could reveal additional creases or staining that would push this toward a 2.

Centering estimate: left border ~15%, right border ~20%, top border ~18%, bottom border ~12% — slightly off but not severe, roughly 55/45 L/R and 60/40 T/B, centering alone would not be the primary grade killer. The seller's self-disclosed crease is the decisive defect; a diagonal crease is visible running through the lower-left quadrant of the card face, consistent with the 'crease' disclosure in the title, which under PSA standards places the card firmly in the VG (3) range. Corners show visible rounding and softening on at least two corners (lower-left most apparent), consistent with general handling wear. Surface gloss appears partially intact but dulled in places, with the crease area showing surface disturbance; no staining or writing visible, but the sleeve glare obscures fine surface detail. This is a solid PSA 3 candidate with a small possibility of 4 if the crease is shallower than it appears, or 2 if additional wear is hidden by the sleeve.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 L/R skew favoring right), top and bottom borders appear closer to 55/45 — centering is off but not severely miscut. All four corners show visible rounding and wear, with the bottom-left corner appearing the most blunted; no corner is sharp enough for NM territory. Surface shows moderate gloss loss across the image area and some light soiling or handling wear, particularly in the lower portion of the card. No obvious hard creases are visible from this angle, though the card's overall tonal flatness and corner rounding point to a VG-EX (4) grade as most likely, with EX (5) possible if corners are slightly better than the angle suggests and no creases are hiding on the back.
