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

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65-70% left), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55-60% top) - left/right ratio roughly 65/35, placing centering in the VG-EX to VG range at best. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding, most apparent at top-left and bottom-right, consistent with a well-handled card. Surface: the image shows what appears to be a horizontal crease or stress line running through the mid-section of the card (consistent with seller's 'Used' disclosure), and some gloss loss is evident across the face. Edges appear somewhat rough but period-normal for 1966 Topps; the penny sleeve obscures fine edge and corner detail, preventing precise assessment - the range is widened accordingly to account for unseen back condition and corner detail.

Centering estimate: left border ~40%, right border ~60% left-to-right; top border ~45%, bottom border ~55% top-to-bottom — roughly 60/40 L/R which is acceptable for an 8 but the right border appears noticeably wider, closer to 65/35, keeping this in the 6-7 range. Corners appear to have very light wear — no severe rounding visible but the upper-left and lower-right corners show slight softening at this resolution. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible from this angle, and the image area is clean with good color saturation typical of the Black Bat series. Back is unavailable for inspection and corner wear is difficult to precisely assess without macro shots, so the range is widened accordingly; a crease hidden by the angle or handling wear on the reverse could push this toward a 5.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 65-70% left / 30-35% right); top border appears slightly wider than bottom, approximating 55/45 T/B — left-to-right skew is the primary centering concern. Corners show visible rounding on at least the top-right and bottom-right corners visible in frame, consistent with VG-EX to EX range; the top-left corner appears softer as well. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and toning consistent with age on a 1966 Topps card; no obvious creases are visible in this image but the camera angle and lighting limit crease detection. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major nicks visible, and rough-cut texture typical of the Black Bat series is expected and not penalized; overall the card presents as a solid VG-EX (4) with EX (5) possible if corner rounding is less severe than it appears at this angle.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65-70% left / 30-35% right), and top border is slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), placing L/R centering at roughly 65/35 — borderline EX-MT to NM territory on one axis but acceptable on the other. Corners show light rounding on the visible corners, consistent with EX to EX-MT range; no sharp points are evident but no severe rounding either. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible, though some light print artifacts typical of the set are present. Back is unseen, and corner closeups are unavailable, so the range is widened accordingly — a hidden crease or worse corner wear could push this toward a 4.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65-70% of horizontal space on left), top border slightly wider than bottom, suggesting approximately 65/35 L/R and 60/40 T/B - moderate centering issue but not severe miscut territory. Corners show visible rounding on at least the lower-left and upper-right corners visible in frame, consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and some light wear consistent with age; the COMC watermark obscures the center of the artwork making it impossible to confirm presence or absence of creases or surface wrinkles in that zone. Edges appear reasonably clean with typical vintage rough-cut texture normal for this issue. Given visible corner rounding, centering issues, and the obscured surface, a VG-EX (4) is the most likely grade, with EX (5) possible if corners are better than they appear and no hidden creases exist.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — acceptable for the grade range. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding, consistent with EX to VG-EX wear; no corners appear sharp but none are severely blunted either. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible in this photo, though the seller's VG-EX self-assessment aligns with what is visible. Edges appear clean with no significant nicks; the rough-cut texture typical of 1966 Topps is present and not penalized. Back condition and any hidden surface issues cannot be assessed from this single front photo, which widens the range — a soft crease or back wear could pull this to a 4, while a clean back and better corner inspection could support a 5.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-to-right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (roughly 60/40 top-to-bottom) - off-center but not catastrophic. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (upper-left and lower-left are most visible), suggesting moderate wear consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some light gloss loss and possible light handling wear; no obvious creases are visible in this photo but the card has a slightly tired look. Edges appear intact with no major nicks visible; back cannot be assessed from this image, which widens the range - a surface crease or stain on the back could push this toward a 3.
