1966 Topps Batman Bat Laffs #31 Commissioner Gordon and Batman — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonably close and not a primary grade-limiter. Corners show visible light rounding on at least the visible lower-left and lower-right corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range wear. Edges appear intact without obvious nicks or tears, and the rough-cut texture typical of 1966 Topps is noted and not penalized. Surface gloss appears moderate with some loss visible, and the COMC watermark obscures the center making it impossible to fully assess print defects or surface creases — a hidden crease cannot be ruled out. Given corner rounding and gloss loss the card most likely grades EX (5), with VG-EX (4) if a light surface crease is present under the watermark and EX-MT (6) if corners are sharper than they appear at this resolution.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border modestly wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a PSA 5-6 range. Corner assessment is limited by the COMC watermark and photo resolution, but all four corners show visible rounding or soft wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range; no corner appears sharp enough for NM territory. Edges appear reasonably clean with no gross fraying visible, consistent with the typical rough-cut texture normal for this 1966 Topps issue. Surface gloss appears partially present but dulled; no creases are clearly visible in this photo, though the COMC overlay obscures the center — the seller title offers no self-disclosed crease warning. Overall condition reads as EX (PSA 5) with an outside chance of EX-MT (6) if corners are better than they appear, or VG-EX (4) if hidden surface wear is present.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonably tight and not a significant grade detractor. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most notably the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with a VG (3) grade. Surface gloss appears reduced with some light wear, and there is mild toning on the white borders typical of this vintage set. The seller's 'VG' self-description aligns with what is visible; no obvious hard creases are detectable from this single front photo, but cannot confirm the back. The corner rounding pushes this firmly into the VG-3 range, with VG-EX (4) possible only if corners are sharper than they appear at this resolution and no back-side flaws exist.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — acceptable for vintage Topps. Corners appear reasonably sharp with minimal rounding visible at this resolution; no obvious heavy wear but fine corner tips are obscured by the watermark and photo resolution. Edges appear clean with no visible nicks or rough tears beyond normal vintage cut variation for this issue. Surface gloss appears present with no obvious creases visible, though the central COMIC watermark obscures a significant portion of the image area making surface defect assessment uncertain. The card presents in the EX-MT range tentatively, but the range is widened due to inability to confirm corner sharpness and surface condition beneath the watermark.

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B), so centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding under scrutiny — not sharp, suggesting moderate wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with no gross nicks visible at this resolution. Surface gloss appears present but not full; some light wear or handling evident across the image area, with no visible creases confirmed. The COMC watermark partially obscures the center but does not conceal major surface defects. Back is not visible, and corner closeups are unavailable, widening the range; absent a crease, EX (5) is the most likely grade.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L-R favoring right), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at approximately 55/45 T-B — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding at all four tips, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range; no razor sharpness remains but no severe blunting either. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling visible, and the image photo itself shows typical 1966 Topps print characteristics. No creases are clearly visible in this scan, though the scan compression makes it difficult to rule out light surface creases entirely — the honest range reflects that uncertainty. Overall the card presents as mid-grade raw, likely landing around VG-EX (4), possibly stretching to EX (5) if corners and surface are cleaner than the photo reveals.

Centering estimated at approximately 70/30 left-to-right and 60/40 top-to-bottom — borders are uneven but not severely miscut. All four corners show visible rounding and softening; no razor-sharp corners are present, consistent with a VG to EX range. The surface shows noticeable gloss loss and what appears to be light toning or handling wear across the face; the Comc watermark obscures the lower-center, making it impossible to assess any crease in that zone. Edges appear reasonably intact with no obvious tears but do show the expected rough-cut texture normal for this 1966 Topps issue. Without a clean back view and corner close-ups, the range is widened to 3–5, with VG-EX (4) as the most likely grade given the corner rounding and surface wear.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 left-right), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at approximately 55/45 top-to-bottom — centering is off horizontally and would likely grade as OC by PSA standards or cap around EX range. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding visible at the upper-left and lower-left particularly; no razor sharpness anywhere. Surface gloss appears present but with some light wear; no obvious creases are visible in this photo. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major nicks visible, consistent with typical vintage 1966 Topps rough-cut texture. The horizontal miscentering is the primary grade-limiting factor here, likely capping the grade in the EX (5) range, with the possibility of EX-MT (6) if borders measure better under closer inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably narrower than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — within acceptable range for this set, no miscut. Corners show mild rounding at all four tips, most visible at the top-left and bottom-left, consistent with light handling wear placing this in EX to VG-EX territory. Surface gloss appears moderately intact with no obvious creases visible in this image, though the scan resolution does not allow definitive ruling out of light surface wear or a faint crease. Edges appear reasonably clean with the expected rough-cut texture normal for 1966 Topps Batman; no staining or writing observed.
