1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #21 Narrow Escape — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 left-heavy), top border slightly narrower than bottom (roughly 55/45), so centering is acceptable but not tight — consistent with EX range. Corners show visible light rounding on at least two corners (upper-left and upper-right appear slightly soft), consistent with EX (5) to VG-EX (4) wear. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks, which is typical for the rough-cut 1966 Topps Batman stock. Surface gloss appears present with minor wear; no visible creases from this angle, which aligns with the seller's 'EX' self-description. The back is not visible so hidden creases or staining cannot be ruled out, widening the range downward slightly.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 65/35 left-to-right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 top-to-bottom) — centering is off but not severely miscut. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and lower-right appear softened), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some toning/yellowing typical of this set's age, and there appears to be mild gloss loss across the face, but no obvious hard creases are visible in this photo — though the image cannot fully rule out a light surface crease. Edges appear reasonably intact with the rough-cut texture normal for this vintage issue. The overall condition presentation points to a PSA 4 (VG-EX) as the most likely grade, with a ceiling of 5 (EX) if corners and surface hold up better under direct inspection, and a floor of 3 (VG) if a crease is present that this photo is not revealing.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~70/30 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B), so horizontal centering is the primary concern and pushes toward a grade ceiling around EX-MT or below. Corners show visible light rounding on at least the upper-left and lower-left corners visible in the scan, consistent with EX range; no sharp points evident but no severe rounding either. Surface appears to have retained reasonable gloss with no obvious creases visible, and print quality looks typical for the set. There is what appears to be a small ink mark or writing artifact in the upper-left corner area of the card, which if confirmed as pen/pencil writing would cap the grade further — this detail warrants close physical inspection before submission.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B), so centering is off but not severely so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-left appear softened), consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface appears to retain reasonable gloss with no creases visible from this angle, though the photo does not allow close corner inspection. Edges appear clean with no obvious miscut or adjacent card printing visible; rough-cut texture noted on right edge is typical for 1966 Topps Batman and not penalized. Back is unseen, limiting confidence — a hidden crease or staining could push the grade lower.
