1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #15 Batman in Action — Raw

Centering estimate from visible borders: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border appears moderately wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B) — the seller flags OC (off-center), which is consistent with what is visible; centering is a meaningful concern but not catastrophic. Surface appears to retain decent gloss with no obvious creases visible, consistent with the seller's 'NO CREASE' disclosure. Corners cannot be assessed with precision through the acrylic case and angle, but no severe rounding is immediately apparent — mild wear on one or two corners is plausible for a raw 1966 example. The acrylic case and shooting angle prevent confident corner and edge assessment, warranting a widened range; the centering issue and typical vintage wear for an ungraded 1966 Topps card place the most likely grade at EX (5), with EX-MT (6) possible if corners are sharper than they appear.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border narrower than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-left are most visible), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. There appears to be a horizontal crease or stress line running across the lower-middle portion of the card (visible near the Batman logo/chest area), which if confirmed as a true crease would cap this closer to VG (3) territory. Surface shows some gloss loss and light handling wear; white borders at top and left show mild toning typical of the vintage Black Bat series. No writing or tears visible, but the potential crease is the critical unknown from this single scan — range is set 3–5 with a point estimate of 4 pending crease confirmation.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~55% right-heavy), top border slightly narrower than bottom, approximately 60/40 L/R and 55/45 T/B — centering is off but not severely so. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most notably the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss with some toning/aging to the white border areas, and there is light soiling or handling wear visible particularly in the lower portion of the card. Edges appear reasonably clean for the vintage with no obvious fraying but some roughness consistent with normal 1966 Topps cuts; no creases are definitively visible in this image though the surface texture makes it difficult to rule out very light ones, and the back cannot be assessed.

Centering: left/right borders appear approximately 70/30 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 60/40 favoring top — noticeably off-center left-to-right, which is the primary grade limiter here. Corners: all four corners show light-to-moderate rounding visible even at scan resolution; no sharp points remain, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges: cuts appear reasonably clean with no obvious miscut or adjacent card printing visible; rough edge texture is normal for this issue. Surface: gloss appears partially intact with some scattered light wear; no creases are visible in the scan, no staining or writing evident, though a scan of this resolution cannot rule out faint surface creases — back is unseen. Overall this reads as a solid EX (5) candidate, with the off-center left-to-right ratio and corner rounding preventing a higher estimate; a PSA 6 is possible if corners are slightly better in hand than they photograph.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 65/35 L-R), top and bottom borders look relatively balanced at roughly 55/45 T-B — centering is acceptable for NM range but slightly off horizontally. All four corners appear reasonably sharp with no obvious rounding visible from this distance, though the sleeve and slight angle prevent definitive corner assessment. Surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases, staining, or print defects beyond what is normal print texture for this 1966 Topps issue. The white borders show no obvious toning or soil visible from this photo, but the sleeve glare and single-angle shot prevent confirmation of edge wear, back condition, or fine corner tip integrity — the true ceiling is likely 7-8 pending corner closeups.

Centering estimate from visible borders: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 left-to-right), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 — horizontal off-centering is the primary grade limiter here. Corners are difficult to assess precisely through the case and glare, but no obvious blunting or rounding is apparent; they appear reasonably sharp, consistent with EX to EX-MT range. Surface shows no visible creases or staining through the case, and color saturation looks strong, suggesting decent gloss retention. The plastic case and glare prevent confident corner and edge assessment; grade range is widened accordingly — a raw examination could push this up to a 6 if corners hold, or pull it toward a 4 if hidden wear exists.

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 fairly well-balanced and does not cap the grade. Corners: all four corners appear reasonably sharp at this resolution; the upper-left and lower-right show very slight softening but no obvious rounding, consistent with light handling wear. Edges appear clean with no major chipping or roughness beyond normal 1966 Topps cut texture. Surface shows good gloss retention with vivid color; no creases, staining, or print defects are apparent, though the photo cannot fully resolve fine surface scratches or print snow. Cannot assess the back. The card presents solidly in the EX-MT to NM range pending a close inspection of corner tips and any hidden surface wear.
