1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #11 Poison Pellet — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 left-right favoring right side); top border appears slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 top-bottom) — centering is off but not dramatically so, likely within EX territory. Corners: the camera angle and slight perspective make precise corner assessment difficult, but upper-left and lower-left corners show visible rounding/wear; upper-right appears slightly better; lower-right is partially obscured by the bat logo graphic. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious major nicks visible. Surface shows no obvious creases detectable in this image; gloss appears moderate with some wear/loss consistent with handling. The white border areas show typical vintage toning for this 1966 issue. Overall condition reads as EX (5) most likely, with EX-MT (6) possible if corners prove sharper on closer inspection, and VG-EX (4) as the floor if corner rounding is more pronounced than it appears at this angle.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (roughly 55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (approximately 65/35 T/B) — passable but not tight. Corners: front-left corner shows visible rounding/softening; the other three corners appear moderately sharp but not crisp — consistent with a 5-6 range. Edges appear reasonably clean with the rough-cut texture normal for this 1966 Topps issue, no miscut detected. Surface gloss appears partially present with some light wear or scuffing visible in the illustration area; no creases are detectable in this photo, though the back cannot be assessed. Without a back view or corner macro shots, the range is widened to account for hidden wear.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 — acceptable for EX-MT range. Corners appear lightly worn with minor blunting visible at least on the lower corners; no sharp points confirmed but not severely rounded either, consistent with EX to EX-MT. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases detected in the image, though the image does not allow definitive crease ruling. Edges look clean with no visible nicks; rough-cut texture on the left edge is within normal range for this 1966 Topps issue and is not penalized. Back not visible; grade range widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65-70% left bias), top border slightly wider than bottom, roughly 65/35 L-R and 60/40 T-B — centering is off but not catastrophically so. The photo blur makes precise corner assessment difficult, but corners visible at bottom-left and bottom-right show evident rounding consistent with VG to VG-EX range. Surface shows significant color wear and print color registration issues (visible color bleeding/misregistration throughout the image), which may be print-era artifacts but contribute to grade suppression. White borders appear toned/off-white with visible edge wear. No creases are definitively confirmed from this photo, but the image quality is too soft to rule one out — if crease-free the card could push to 4, but the corner rounding and surface condition suggest VG (3) as most likely. Rough cut edges are normal for this issue and not penalized.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60-65% top), suggesting modest off-centering but within EX-MT range. Corners: the visible corners appear to have light wear — the lower-left and lower-right corners show slight softening but no aggressive rounding; upper corners are harder to assess precisely. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible from this angle; print quality looks clean with good color saturation typical of the series. Edges appear intact without significant chipping. The seller's self-described grade of 'hg6' (EX-MT) aligns plausibly with what is visible — the card presents well but corner sharpness and the slightly uneven centering prevent a push toward NM territory; back and corner closeups would be needed to confirm.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border appears notably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B) — centering is off but likely within PSA 5-6 tolerances. Corners are difficult to assess precisely through the top-loader and at this resolution; they appear to have some softening or light rounding rather than being sharp, suggesting EX to VG-EX range. Surface shows what appears to be moderate gloss retention but the top-loader glare obscures potential surface wear, toning, or print defects on the white borders — a common issue with this set. No creases are visible but cannot be ruled out without a closer inspection; the card would need to be removed from the holder for a confident assessment, widening the range accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (roughly 60/40 L/R), top and bottom borders appear close to even (55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a mid-to-high grade. The four corners cannot be examined in tight closeup from this photo, but visible corners appear to show only light to mild wear with no obvious rounding or fraying evident at this resolution. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with good color saturation and no visible creases. White borders show mild toning consistent with age, which is normal for this vintage set and not penalized heavily; edges appear clean with no obvious chipping. Without corner macro detail or a view of the back, the range is widened — a clean, uncreased example with sharp corners could grade EX-MT (6) to NM (7), while any corner rounding or hidden surface flaw would push toward EX (5).
