Index grading notes
Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approx 70/30 left-right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 60/40 top-bottom) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. More concerning are visible surface issues: a diagonal crease or fold line is clearly visible running through the lower-center portion of the card face, consistent with the seller's 'used' disclosure. Corners show moderate-to-heavy rounding, consistent with a VG to VG-EX range under normal circumstances, but the visible crease pushes this toward VG (3) or lower. Gloss appears largely absent suggesting significant surface wear. The penny sleeve obscures fine corner detail and may be hiding additional edge or surface defects; the true floor could be a 2 if the crease is deeper than it appears.
Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55L/45R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (approx 65T/35B) — top-heavy but within EX-MT range vertically, acceptable left-right. All four corners appear reasonably sharp with only minor softening visible on the lower-left and lower-right corners; upper corners look crisper. Surface shows good color saturation and apparent gloss retention with no obvious creases visible. White borders show light toning/age consistent with the vintage, and some edge roughness is present but normal for 1966 Topps black-bat series cuts. Back is unseen and the easel obstructs the very bottom edge, preventing full corner and edge assessment; range is widened accordingly.
Centering estimate: left border ~6mm, right border ~4mm, top border ~5mm, bottom border ~5mm — approximately 60/40 left-to-right and 50/50 top-to-bottom, which is acceptable for a mid-grade vintage card. Corners appear to show light rounding on at least the visible lower-left and upper-left corners, consistent with EX-MT to NM range; no razor sharpness evident. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases visible from this single front photo, and color saturation looks good with no heavy print snow or staining on the white border areas. Back condition, edge texture, and corner detail on the right side cannot be fully assessed from this angle, widening the range; the seller's title number discrepancy (#15 vs. expected #18) is noted but the card image itself matches the Black Bat Batman In Action subject.
Centering: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not miscut territory. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-left are most visible), consistent with VG-EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light handling wear; no obvious hard creases are visible from this angle, though subtle surface stress cannot be ruled out. Edges appear reasonably intact with some minor roughness typical of the 1966 Topps Batman series; the white border shows mild toning/yellowing consistent with age, keeping the ceiling at 5 EX absent a confirmed crease.
