1966 Topps Batman Bat Laffs #25 Batman and Robin — Raw

The seller's title flags a read condition and the photo confirms serious surface damage: visible paper loss in the upper-left quadrant of the card face — white fibrous stock is exposed — which is a PSA grade-defining defect that triggers a PR-FR (1) or at best GOOD (2) assessment. Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top and bottom borders appear roughly even (~50/50), so centering itself is not the primary issue. Corners appear rounded and worn consistent with heavy handling, and overall gloss is heavily diminished across the surface. The paper loss alone is typically sufficient to cap the grade at PSA 1 (PR-FR) under PSA's grading standards, though a lenient reader might stretch to a 2 (GOOD) if the loss is considered minor in area; given its prominence in the upper-left, PSA 1 is the most likely outcome.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so, no adjacent card printing visible so no miscut. Corners appear to have light-to-moderate rounding, consistent with a 5 EX range, though the low-resolution scan makes precise corner assessment difficult. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some gloss loss visible across the image area; no obvious creases are detectable but the photo resolution prevents confident crease exclusion. The scan quality is the primary limitation here — a sharper image would be needed to confidently separate EX (5) from VG-EX (4) or EX-MT (6), hence the widened range.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right border (~65/35 L-R), top and bottom borders appear roughly even (~55/45 T-B), so horizontal centering is the primary concern approaching EX-MT cap territory. The seller's note references 'corner wear' which is confirmed — at least two corners (upper-left and lower-left) show visible blunting/rounding visible even at this resolution, consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact but some dulling is visible, and the COMC watermark obscures fine surface detail. No creases are clearly visible from this photo, but the corner wear and moderate centering together point to a VG-EX (4) most-likely grade, with EX (5) possible if corners are softer than they appear and no hidden creases exist, and VG (3) if the back shows additional wear.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (roughly 55/45 L/R), top border appears narrower than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B) — not severely off but leaning toward the tighter side. The COMC watermark obscures the lower-center surface, making it impossible to assess any surface wear, creasing, or print defects in that zone. Corners appear to show mild rounding at two or more corners — consistent with EX to VG-EX range — but corner detail is limited by scan resolution. Edges look reasonably clean with no obvious miscut or adjacent card printing visible. Gloss and surface condition cannot be reliably assessed due to the watermark obstruction and scan quality; range is widened accordingly.
