1966 Topps Batman Bat Laffs #9 Batman and the Riddler — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~70/30 left-to-right), top and bottom borders appear roughly even (~55/45); horizontal miscentering is the primary centering concern but not severe enough to constitute a miscut. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in frame, consistent with a VG-range card. Surface gloss appears partially diminished with some toning on the white borders, which is period-normal for 1966 Topps but here appears more pronounced than typical. The seller's stated grade of G/VG aligns reasonably with observations; the card photographs as a PSA 3 VG candidate, with a range of 2-4 depending on back condition and corner severity under direct inspection not fully resolvable from this single angled photo.

The seller's title includes 'READ' which typically signals disclosed flaws, and the listing note explicitly states 'paper loss' — confirmed visible in the photo as missing/abraded surface material on the left edge of the card. Centering estimate: left border appears significantly narrower than right (~70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), though the angle makes precision difficult. Corners cannot be fully assessed at this resolution but the left edge damage alone is grade-capping per PSA standards — paper loss is a PR-FR (grade 1) qualifier. Surface gloss appears reduced overall; the card likely grades PR 1 to GOOD 2 at best, with paper loss the dominant defect.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approx 70/30 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approx 60/40 T/B), so centering is off but not severely miscut. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in this scan, consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and some toning/aging typical of 1966 Topps stock; no obvious hard creases are visible from this photo, though the scan quality makes it difficult to rule out a light surface crease. Card edges appear reasonably clean with normal rough-cut texture expected for this vintage issue. The range is widened slightly due to scan quality limiting corner and surface assessment confidence.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 70/30 left-right skew), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 top-bottom) — centering is off but not severely miscut. Corners are difficult to assess precisely at this resolution and angle, but appear to show some rounding at the visible corners, suggesting at least light wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface shows no obvious creases visible from this view, and gloss appears moderate but hard to confirm under the COMC watermark overlay which obscures the lower third of the card. Edges look reasonably clean for a 1966 Topps issue where rough cuts are expected; no staining or major print defects visible, but the photo quality and obstructing watermark prevent confident corner and surface assessment — range widened accordingly.
