1966 Topps Batman Bat Laffs #1 Bruce Wayne — Raw

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 55/45, top/bottom roughly 50/50 — centering itself is not the primary concern here. The dominant and grade-determining defect is a significant area of paper loss or surface tear visible at the top-right corner of the card, where the image layer appears to have lifted or peeled away, exposing lighter stock beneath — this alone caps the grade at PSA 2 or lower as it constitutes major surface damage. Corners beyond the damaged top-right cannot be fully assessed through the sleeve, but the bottom corners appear moderately worn with some rounding. Gloss appears largely intact on the undamaged portions of the surface, and no obvious creases are visible from this angle, but the paper loss is severe enough to push this into GOOD (2) or PR-FR (1) territory. A back scan and better lighting would be needed to rule out additional creases or staining.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approximately 70/30 left-to-right favoring left), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40); overall centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (bottom-left and top-right are the most apparent), consistent with significant handling wear. Surface shows notable gloss loss, scattered light scratches or scuffs, and what appears to be edge/border toning typical of this 55-year-old issue. No obvious hard creases are confirmed in this single photo, but surface texture and wear patterns suggest possible light creasing; the back cannot be assessed. The aged and worn presentation places this firmly in the VG (3) range, with the range widened to account for possible hidden creases (pushing toward 2) or a cleaner-than-apparent surface (allowing 4).

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right, roughly 60/40 L/R; top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 — centering is acceptable for EX range. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on at least the visible lower corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX wear; upper corners are harder to assess at this resolution. Surface appears to retain moderate gloss with no visible creases, supporting the seller's 'EX' self-assessment, though the compressed image prevents confident crease exclusion. Edges show the typical rough cut texture normal for 1966 Topps and should not be penalized; overall condition aligns with a PSA 5 EX point estimate, with range allowing for corner or hidden surface wear that could push toward VG-EX (4) or light wear supporting EX-MT (6).
