1966 Topps Batman Bat Laffs #40 The Riddler

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border appears noticeably wider than bottom (approx 65/35 T/B), so centering is moderately off but not severe. Corners are not sharply resolved in this scan — they appear to show some rounding or wear, consistent with EX to VG-EX range, but close-up detail is insufficient to confirm. Surface gloss appears moderate with some toning typical of the 1966 Topps Batman issue; no obvious creases are visible but the image resolution cannot rule them out. The card number shown is #48, not #40 as the seller states — this is a title error by the seller, not a mismatch with the set itself. Range is wide due to limited photo resolution preventing definitive corner and surface assessment.

Centering estimate: left border ~10%, right border ~15%, top border ~12%, bottom border ~18% — left/right approximately 60/40, top/bottom approximately 60/40, centering is reasonably tight and not an OC concern. Corners appear slightly soft with minor rounding visible on at least two corners, consistent with light handling wear placing this in the EX-MT to NM range. Surface shows good gloss retention with no obvious creases visible, though some minor print texture and possible light print snow typical of the set. Edges appear clean with no significant nicks visible; without a back scan or corner macro shots, the range is widened slightly — strong EX-MT at 6 is the most likely outcome, with NM (7) possible if corners are sharper than they appear at this resolution.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 left-to-right), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at approximately 55/45 top-to-bottom — centering is off but not miscut territory. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible from this angle, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some mottling or toning consistent with age and consistent with the A&BC stock, which tends to be lighter/softer than Topps US; gloss appears partially intact but reduced. No obvious creases are visible in the scan, though the image resolution and angle would not reliably reveal a light surface crease — range is widened accordingly; back condition, which can differ significantly on A&BC cards, is not assessable here.

Seller explicitly notes creases, which is treated as a confirmed flaw per protocol. Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top and bottom borders look close to even (~50/50 T/B) — centering itself is not the primary issue here. At least one visible surface crease is implied by the seller disclosure and the card's overall flat appearance suggests possible fold lines; the COMC watermark partially obscures the surface, limiting full crease assessment. Corners appear rounded under inspection, consistent with handling wear. Gloss appears partially retained but dulled in areas. A confirmed crease on a 1966 Topps Batman card places the ceiling firmly at PSA 4 (VG-EX) at best, with PSA 3 (VG) most likely given rounded corners and disclosed crease; PSA 2 is possible if multiple creases are present on the back or the crease is heavy.
