1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #21 Narrow Escape

Centering estimate: left border ~3mm, right border ~4mm (L/R roughly 55/45 acceptable), top border ~3mm, bottom border ~4mm (T/B roughly 55/45) — centering appears reasonably tight and not a major grade detractor. Corners: the two visible corners (upper-left and lower-left) show light-to-moderate rounding consistent with EX to VG-EX range; the right-side corners are partially obscured by the image crop but appear similar. Edges appear clean with normal vintage rough-cut texture for this set — no excessive fraying visible. Surface shows intact gloss with no obvious creases visible from this photo, though minor surface wear or print artifacts cannot be fully ruled out; the image artwork appears vivid and well-centered within the card face. Back is not visible, preventing assessment of reverse condition; corner rounding is the primary grade limiter here, placing the estimate in the EX (5) range with a reasonable range of VG-EX (4) to EX-MT (6).

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) — centering is off but not severely so, no miscut visible. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on all four, most evident at the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. There is writing/marking visible in the upper-left corner area (appears to be ink or pencil marks), which is a surface defect that could trigger a qualifier or grade cap — PSA may label this 'MK' (marked) and cap at 4 or lower depending on severity. Surface gloss appears intact over the artwork with no obvious creases visible from this angle, but the ink marking is the dominant grading concern; without a cleaner back-of-card view and corner closeups, precision is limited.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably narrower than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is serviceable but not tight. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on all four; the upper corners appear slightly softer than the lower pair, consistent with a 5-6 range. Surface gloss appears moderate with some loss visible, no obvious hard creases detected in this photo though subtle surface wear cannot be ruled out at this resolution. Edges appear reasonably clean with the rough-cut texture normal for this 1966 Topps issue; no staining or print defects beyond minor print snow visible. The seller's 'hg6' designation is plausible but corners may pull this toward a 5; back condition and any hidden creases remain unknowable from this single front image.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable, consistent with EX-MT range. Corners: from this distance the corners appear reasonably sharp with mild rounding evident on at least two corners (lower left and lower right appear slightly soft), consistent with a 5-6 grade. Surface: color appears vibrant with reasonable gloss retention; no obvious creases visible in the image, no staining noted. Edges appear clean with no significant chipping or fraying; back is not visible so hidden defects (creases, stains, writing) cannot be ruled out, warranting a wider range — collectors should examine the reverse carefully before submitting.
