1966 Topps Batman Bat Laffs #16 Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B) — centering is passable but not tight. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most evident at bottom-left and top-left, suggesting handling wear consistent with VG to VG-EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light soiling or toning, typical of the era but still detracting. Edges appear reasonably intact with no obvious tears or major nicks visible, though the sleeve glare partially obscures the right edge; no crease is clearly visible from this angle but cannot be ruled out on the reverse or under closer inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65-70% left bias), top border appears slightly wider than bottom, roughly 60/40 top-to-bottom — centering grades in the EX-VG-EX range. Corners appear to show light-to-moderate rounding, particularly visible at the upper right and lower left, suggesting wear consistent with EX to VG-EX condition. Surface shows some toning/age spotting on the white borders, which is typical for this 1966 issue, and there is visible wear on the card face consistent with handling over decades. The CoMC watermark obscures the lower center surface, limiting full assessment of print quality and any potential creases in that region; no obvious deep creases are visible elsewhere, but this cannot be confirmed with certainty from this single image.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (~70/30 left-right), top and bottom borders look relatively even (~55/45 top-bottom), so horizontal centering is a meaningful concern. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (upper-left and lower-left appear softer), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and some light toning on the border areas typical for this 1966 Topps issue; no obvious creases are visible from this image but the photo resolution limits definitive surface assessment. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major chips or tears noted, rough-cut texture is normal for this set and not penalized. The off-centering and corner wear point to a PSA 4 (VG-EX) as most likely, with EX (5) possible if corners are better than they appear and surface is cleaner than visible here.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L-R disadvantage), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. More concerning are the visible surface issues: the card shows evident toning/aging on the white border areas, and there appears to be a horizontal crease or fold line visible across the lower-center portion of the card face, consistent with a VG-range card. All four corners show rounding and wear visible even at this resolution — no sharp corners remain. Gloss appears significantly diminished across the surface. The back is not visible so hidden creases or staining cannot be ruled out; range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears meaningfully larger than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is modest but not severely off-center. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding at this resolution, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range; no corners appear sharp. Surface: the card shows modest gloss loss and what appears to be light toning or age wear on the border areas; no creases are clearly visible but the scan resolution is insufficient to rule them out. The COM watermark obscures a significant portion of the card face, limiting confident assessment of surface defects, print snow, and fine corner detail — range is widened accordingly.

Seller explicitly notes creases, which is self-disclosed and must be taken seriously — this alone caps the grade at VG (3) or below. Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), so centering is not a significant concern. Corners appear rounded with visible wear, consistent with VG to VG-EX range under normal conditions, but the crease disclosure pulls the grade down. Surface shows moderate gloss loss visible even at this resolution, and the photo image itself shows some color fading typical of the era. Without corner closeups or back visibility, a range of 2–4 reflects honest uncertainty about crease severity; a single light crease would support a 3, while multiple or heavy creases would push toward a 2.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right side), top border slightly tighter than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B) — not dramatically off-center but noticeably left-heavy. The card is housed in what appears to be a snap case or plastic sleeve, which compresses and partially obscures all four corners, making precise corner assessment impossible; this is the primary driver of uncertainty. Surface shows moderate gloss loss consistent with age and handling; no obvious creases are visible in the photo though the seller's title does not disclose one. Edges appear reasonably intact with no flagrant chipping visible, normal for 1966 Topps rough cuts. Given the apparent mild-to-moderate wear and the obstruction hiding corner detail, the range of 3–5 reflects honest uncertainty — a EX (5) is plausible if corners are merely lightly worn, but VG (3) is on the table if hidden corner rounding or a back crease exists.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable and not a primary grade driver here. The corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible from this angle, particularly the lower-right and upper-left, suggesting wear consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. The surface shows some cloudiness or gloss loss across the face — there appears to be a light crease or stress line in the upper-left area of the card image, which if confirmed would pull the grade toward VG (3). Edges appear slightly rough but within normal vintage 1966 Topps Batman production standards. The single-photo, slight angle, and no back inspection prevent ruling out additional hidden creases or staining, so the range is widened accordingly.
