Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B), suggesting off-center but not severely miscut. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in the photo, particularly the lower-left and upper-left, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and minor handling wear; the white border exhibits light toning typical of 1966 Topps Batman cards. No obvious creases are visible from this photo, but the card-level angle and image resolution limit confident assessment of the surface and back; the range is widened accordingly to account for potential hidden flaws on reverse.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at roughly 60/40 T/B — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower left and upper right most apparent), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and the white borders show moderate toning/aging typical of OPC Canadian printings from this era. No obvious creases are detectable from this photo, but the image resolution prevents confident exclusion of light surface creases; the card has the slightly softer stock common to OPC issues. Overall condition reads as a solid VG-EX (4) with a chance of EX (5) if the back is clean and no hidden creases exist, but corners hold this back from the higher end.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders appear more even at approximately 55/45 T/B — centering is off but not catastrophically miscut. Corners show clear rounding on at least two visible corners (lower-left most obvious), consistent with a VG-range card. The card exhibits visible crease or fold stress lines in the lower-left quadrant area, and there is noticeable surface/gloss loss with some toning on the white borders. Edges appear rough but consistent with normal 1966 Topps rough-cut vintage production. The combination of rounded corners, visible crease stress, and gloss loss points most strongly to a PSA 3 (VG), with a slim chance of 4 if the crease is shallower than it photographs; the lower bound of 2 accounts for the possibility of a harder crease not fully resolved in this image.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approx 65-70% left / 30-35% right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophic, no miscut visible. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (visible at lower-left and upper-right), consistent with moderate handling wear, suggesting EX to VG-EX range. Surface shows expected toning/aging on the cream borders typical of 1966 Topps Batman stock; gloss appears partially retained but diminished. No obvious creases are visible from this scan, though the image resolution and angle limit confident assessment of subtle surface creases or deeper corner damage; back is unseen.

Centering estimate: left border ~6mm, right border ~4mm, top border ~5mm, bottom border ~5mm — approximately 60/40 L/R and 50/50 T/B, which is acceptable. However, the seller title includes 'READ' suggesting a disclosed flaw. Corner wear is explicitly noted in the image caption ('Note: corner wear'), and visible inspection confirms at least two corners (lower-left and lower-right) show rounding consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears moderately present with no obvious heavy creasing visible, but the COMC watermark obscures the center of the image surface. Edges appear reasonably clean for a 1966 Topps issue. The disclosed corner wear and 'READ' flag in the title introduce uncertainty — likely landing at VG-EX (4) but could be EX (5) if wear is minimal, or VG (3) if a hidden crease exists on the back.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B), suggesting moderate off-centering that is within EX-MT range but not ideal. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding consistent with handling wear - no razor sharpness visible on any corner, placing them in the EX to VG-EX range. Surface appears to retain reasonable gloss with no obvious creases visible, though the photo angle and resolution make it difficult to rule out light surface wear or print snow. Edges appear intact without significant chipping or fraying, consistent with the seller's 'Ex' self-assessment; the estimate range of 4-6 reflects uncertainty about corner condition and any reverse-side issues not visible here.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top and bottom borders look reasonably close (~55/45 T/B), so horizontal off-centering is meaningful but not catastrophic. Corners show visible rounding on all four, consistent with a VG grade; no corner is sharp. Surface shows general gloss loss and light soiling/toning on the white borders, and there appear to be minor handling creases or surface wrinkles in the lower portion of the card — the seller's own 'VG' self-assessment aligns with this read. No severe creases, tears, or writing are visible, but the combination of rounded corners, gloss loss, and apparent surface wear places this squarely in the VG (3) to VG-EX (4) range, with VG (3) being the more likely single grade.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right, top border slightly narrower than bottom — rough estimate L/R ~70/30, T/B ~60/40, suggesting off-center but not miscut. The card shows significant surface wear with visible creasing or wrinkling particularly in the lower-left quadrant and along the left edge area; gloss appears substantially diminished across the image surface. Corner detail is obscured by the snap case, but the visible portions suggest rounding consistent with VG (3) range. The card shows the typical toning and print characteristics of the 1966 Topps Batman issue; the rough edge texture is period-normal and not penalized, but the apparent surface crease(s) and gloss loss are meaningful grade-drivers pushing this into the VG-to-VG-EX corridor at best, with VG (3) being the most likely single grade.
