1966 Topps Batman Bat Laffs #17 Batman and Robin — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophic. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower left and lower right are most visible), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact but with some dulling evident, and the card shows light overall wear consistent with age. No creases are clearly visible from this photo, though the image resolution limits close corner and edge inspection — range is widened accordingly to account for hidden surface issues or corner condition that could push this lower.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R) and top border slightly narrower than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not severely so and within VG-EX range. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most apparent at top-left and bottom-left, consistent with a VG to VG-EX card. Surface gloss appears partially intact but with some dulling, and there is light toning on the white borders typical of the 1966 Topps issue. No crease is definitively visible in this scan, but the seller's VG-EX self-assessment and scan resolution prevent ruling one out; a light surface crease could push this toward a 3. The scan is soft enough that fine surface wear and minor creases cannot be fully evaluated — back condition is unknown.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 T/B — centering is off but not catastrophically miscut. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most evident at the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with handling wear placing this in VG-EX to EX territory. Edges appear intact without major nicks or tears, consistent with normal vintage rough-cut for this issue. Surface gloss appears partially retained but some gloss loss is visible, and there is slight toning on the white borders; no obvious creases are detectable from this single-image view, though the back is unverified. The off-centering and corner rounding are the primary grade-limiting factors here.

Seller explicitly discloses creases in the listing title, which is taken seriously per grading protocol. Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border marginally wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering itself is not a primary concern here. The surface shows visible crease(s) consistent with the disclosed note, which alone pushes the grade into the VG-3 range or below. Corners are difficult to assess precisely due to image scale and the watermark obstruction, but appear to show some rounding consistent with moderate handling. Gloss loss and surface wear are apparent. Without a clearer corner close-up or back image, the range is widened to 2–4; a single light crease with modest corner wear would land at 3 (VG), while multiple or heavier creases could push to 2 (GOOD).
