1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #19 Fiery Encounter

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. The seller explicitly discloses a crease and corner wear, and at this image resolution a horizontal surface crease appears visible across the lower-left quadrant of the card face, consistent with a VG (3) grade. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners discernible from the photo. Gloss appears partially intact but with evident loss in affected areas. The combination of a visible crease and rounded corners places this firmly in the VG-3 range, with VG-EX (4) possible only if the crease is very faint and corner wear is lighter than it appears; GOOD (2) is the floor if the crease is deeper than visible here.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approximately 60/40 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners show light rounding on at least the visible corners, particularly the lower-left and upper-right, suggesting moderate handling wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible in this photo, and the print colors are vibrant with no significant print snow or toning evident. Edges appear clean with no major nicks; however, the back is unseen and could reveal staining, creases, or writing that would lower the grade — range widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B), making left-right centering a meaningful concern. Corners appear to show light rounding on at least the visible lower corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range — no sharp points evident but no severe rounding either. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible in the scan, and print quality looks typical for the set with no severe snow or defects noted. Edges appear reasonably clean with typical vintage cut texture for 1966 Topps; back is not visible so any hidden creases, staining, or paper issues cannot be assessed, warranting a widened range.

Centering estimate: Left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border appears modestly wider than bottom (~55-60% top), suggesting mild but not severe off-centering in the 70-75/25-30 range — not OC-disqualifying but notable. Corners: At this resolution through the holder, corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (especially lower-left and upper-right), consistent with an EX to VG-EX range. Surface: There is apparent toning/yellowing across the card face which is typical of the era but does indicate age stress; some print snow or surface texture is visible but hard to distinguish from holder glare. Edges appear intact without obvious tears. The yellow sticky note references 'PSA 10 / $200 / PSA 9 last sold $844,' suggesting the seller believes this to be a high-grade copy, but visible corner wear and surface toning from this photo do not support above a 6 ceiling; the range 4–6 with a point estimate of 5 reflects honest uncertainty given holder glare obscuring fine detail.
