1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #13 The Joker in Jail — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B) — centering is acceptable for EX-MT range and not severely off-center. Corners: upper-left and lower-left corners appear reasonably sharp with only minor softening visible; upper-right corner looks slightly more worn; lower-right is partially obscured by the title bat badge overlay in the artwork making independent assessment difficult. Surface gloss appears present with no obvious creases confirmed, consistent with seller's claim; some minor print texture typical of this 1966 Topps issue is visible. Edges appear clean without obvious nicks from what the photo allows; back is not visible so hidden defects (staining, creases, writing) cannot be ruled out, warranting a conservative floor of 5.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left bias), top border slightly wider than bottom — roughly 60/40 L/R and 60/40 T/B, which is acceptable for this era. Corners: upper-left and lower-left corners appear to have slight wear/rounding visible at this resolution; upper-right corner looks relatively sharp but is partially obscured by angle; lower-right shows mild rounding. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible from this photo. Surface shows good color saturation with apparent gloss retention, no creases detected consistent with seller's claim, though fine surface wear cannot be ruled out from a single overhead shot. The back cannot be assessed, and corner closeups are not available, which widens the range — a stronger corner presentation under magnification could push toward 7, while hidden edge or surface wear could pull toward 5.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L-R), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 — centering is off but not catastrophically so. All four corners show visible rounding and wear, consistent with heavy handling; no corner is sharp. The surface shows evident creasing — at least one diagonal crease is visible in the upper-left quadrant of the card face, which is a significant grade-limiting defect. Gloss appears largely lost across the surface, consistent with a VG or lower grade. The sleeve introduces some glare that obscures fine detail, and the back is not visible, so staining or additional surface damage cannot be ruled out — the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-right), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 top-bottom) — centering is off but not severely miscut. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in the scan, consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and what appears to be light toning/wear across the face; the COMC watermark partially obscures the center, limiting surface defect assessment. No creases are clearly visible from this scan, but the overall wear pattern and corner rounding place this in the 3–5 range; absent a confirmed crease the point estimate lands at 4 (VG-EX), though a hidden crease on the reverse or heavier corner rounding than the scan reveals could push this to a 3.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T-B) — centering is passable but not tight. The primary grade-limiting factors are visible wear and surface issues: the card shows obvious handling wear with what appears to be creasing or surface wrinkling in the upper-left corner area and along the top edge, along with general gloss loss across the surface consistent with a VG range card. All four corners show rounding/blunting — no sharp corners are present — consistent with PSA 3 VG. Edges appear slightly rough but within normal tolerance for this 1966 Topps issue. The photo angle and glare partially obscure full surface assessment, particularly the lower-left portion, warranting a widened range of 2–4; a crease that is more significant than it appears could push this to a 2.

Centering estimate: left border notably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L-R), top and bottom borders appear roughly 55/45 T-B — centering is off but not catastrophically so for this series. Corners: all four show visible rounding, most notably the bottom-left corner which appears soft and worn; top-right also shows rounding — consistent with VG to VG-EX range. Surface: some toning/age spotting visible on the white border areas, particularly upper portion of card; gloss appears partially intact but dulled, suggesting moderate handling wear. Edges appear reasonably intact without major chips; no creases are clearly visible from this angle though the back is unseen. Overall the card presents as a solid VG-EX (4) candidate, with the corner rounding and off-centering pulling it away from EX (5) territory; a crease hidden from this view could push it to VG (3).

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 acceptable and not a primary grade driver here. Corners: at this resolution the corners appear to show some rounding or soft wear, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; they are not sharp enough to suggest NM territory. Surface: visible surface soiling/dirt speckling is apparent on the lower-left dark area of the card and scattered across the face — this is a meaningful surface defect beyond normal print snow for this set. Gloss appears present but moderately reduced; no creases are visible from this angle, though the sleeve plastic obscures fine edge and corner detail, widening the range downward to account for hidden wear.

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top and bottom borders appear relatively even at approximately 55/45; centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding — upper-left and lower-left appear most worn, consistent with handling; no corner is sharp. Edges: edges appear intact with no major nicks visible at this resolution, consistent with normal vintage rough-cut production. Surface: some light gloss loss is apparent, particularly in the lower-center area; no obvious creases are visible from this photo, but the surface texture and slight cloudiness in mid-card suggest light wear; a crease cannot be ruled out without handling or a better scan. Overall this card presents as a VG-EX (4) with a range spanning VG (3) if a hidden crease exists to EX (5) if corners are better than they appear at this resolution.

Centering estimate: left border ~30%, right border ~70% L/R (noticeably right-heavy); top border ~40%, bottom border ~60% T/B — L/R ratio approximately 70/30 which is borderline NM territory but the right-heavy shift is meaningful. Corners: top-left appears reasonably sharp; top-right shows slight wear; bottom corners are partially obscured by the angle but bottom-left shows some softening — overall corners suggest EX-MT to NM range. Surface and gloss appear decent with no obvious creases, staining, or print breaks visible; some expected vintage print texture/snow consistent with the Black Bat series. Edges look clean with no visible nicks from this angle; the rough-cut nature typical of 1966 Topps is noted and not penalized. Back is not visible, limiting full assessment; range widened accordingly.

Card is housed in a snap acrylic case which introduces glare and prevents full corner and edge inspection. Centering estimate from visible image: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (approx 60/40 T/B) — centering appears reasonable for a PSA 5-6 range but cannot be confirmed precisely through the case. Corners are difficult to assess definitively through the holder and glare, but the upper-left and lower-right corners appear to show slight rounding consistent with EX to VG-EX wear; no sharp razor corners are apparent. Surface gloss appears moderate — some loss is suggested but no obvious heavy wear, creases, or staining are visible. The acrylic case, glare, and single-angle photo significantly limit confidence; back condition, true corner sharpness, and any print defects cannot be assessed.
