1966 Topps Batman Bat Laffs #26 Batman — Raw

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 65/35 favoring top — moderate but not severe miscentering. Corners are difficult to assess precisely due to the angled photo and soft focus, but the top corners appear to show some rounding and wear, suggesting at least light-to-moderate use; bottom corners are obscured by perspective. The white borders show visible toning/yellowing consistent with age, and there is some surface wear or gloss loss apparent across the card face. No creases are visible from this photo, but the angle conceals the lower portion of the card. The card appears to be in the VG-EX to EX range, but the photo quality and angle introduce meaningful uncertainty — a closer, flat scan could move this grade in either direction.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is workable but not a primary concern here. The dominant defects are significant surface wear throughout with heavy scratching and scuffing across the entire image, multiple visible creases (most notably in the upper left corner area and across the upper portion of the card), and substantial corner wear with rounding visible on at least two corners. Gloss is largely gone across the surface. The upper-left corner shows a significant fold or crease that is hard to miss. While vintage 1966 Topps Batman cards receive some latitude for rough cuts and print snow, the combination of heavy surface scratching, multiple creases, and severe corner rounding pushes this firmly into the VG to GOOD range, with the crease severity and surface scuffing leaning toward a PSA 2.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears notably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B), which is acceptable for this vintage issue. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on all four, most visible at bottom corners, consistent with EX range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible in the image, though the photo angle cannot rule out subtle surface wear. Edges appear clean with no major tears or chips noted; rough cut texture is normal for 1966 Topps and not penalized. Back cannot be assessed, and corner wear detail is limited by photo resolution, so the range is widened accordingly — a fresh-eye corner inspection could push this to EX-MT (6) or drop it to VG-EX (4).

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B), giving mild top-heavy centering that is within acceptable range for mid-grade. Corners appear to show light-to-moderate rounding, particularly visible on the lower corners, suggesting wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible from this photo, consistent with normal 1966 Topps rough-cut characteristics. Surface gloss appears present but the COMC watermark obscures a significant portion of the lower half, preventing confident assessment of creases, print defects, or staining in that area; no creases are visible in the upper portion. Given the corner wear visible and the obscured lower surface, the range is widened to 4–6 with a point estimate of 5 (EX).
