1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #22 Double-Cross — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B) — left-heavy horizontal shift is the primary centering concern. Corners: the visible corners show some rounding and softening, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; no razor sharpness evident but not severely blunted either. Surface: gloss appears moderate with some dulling evident in the artwork areas; no obvious creases are visible in this photo though the back cannot be assessed. Edges appear reasonably clean with no severe chipping; the rough-cut texture normal for this set is present and not penalized. Overall the card presents as a solid EX (5) candidate, with 4 possible if corner rounding or back condition is worse than visible, and 6 possible if the centering reads better in hand.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) - centering is off but not severely OC. No miscut detected. Corners appear reasonably sharp with only minor softening visible on the upper-left corner; the other three corners look relatively well-preserved but the ComC watermark obscures the lower-center region making full surface assessment difficult. Surface gloss appears present with no obvious creases visible, and color saturation looks strong suggesting minimal fading. Edge cuts show typical vintage roughness consistent with 1966 Topps production norms, not penalized. The watermark prevents confident assessment of the lower half of the card for surface wear or print defects, which is the primary reason for the widened range.

Centering estimate: left border appears wider than right (roughly 60/40 L/R favoring left), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) - centering is imperfect but not severely OC. The card shows significant wear consistent with a VG grade: corners appear rounded on all four, particularly the bottom-left and top-right which show clear rounding rather than sharpness. Surface shows notable soiling/toning and what appears to be handling wear and light creasing near the upper portion of the card, with general gloss loss across the face. Edges show roughness but rough cuts are normal for this set. The card's overall condition profile - rounded corners, possible light surface crease, gloss loss - points to VG (3), with range extending to VG-EX (4) if the creasing is shallower than it appears, or down to GOOD (2) if the surface crease is more pronounced than visible in this single angled shot.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably thinner than right (approximately 70/30 left-to-right skew favoring right), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at roughly 55/45 top-heavy; overall centering is a meaningful concern but not severe miscut territory. The visible corners show some rounding — the lower-left corner appears the softest, with upper corners slightly better but not sharp; consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface appears to retain reasonable gloss with no obvious creases visible in this scan, and print color is bright and clean with no significant snow or toning on the white borders. The back is not visible so hidden creases or staining cannot be ruled out, which widens the range downward; the seller title '5p5' may suggest a self-assessed EX condition which aligns with this estimate.

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly 3-4mm, right border 5-6mm, top border ~4mm, bottom border ~5mm — approximately 60/40 L/R and 55/45 T/B, which would be acceptable, but the photo angle introduces uncertainty. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most notably the lower-left and upper-left, consistent with a VG to VG-EX range. Surface shows noticeable cracking/creasing lines visible across the lower-left quadrant and a stress crease running diagonally near the bottom-left corner, which is a significant grade anchor pulling the card toward VG (3) or lower. Gloss appears largely lost with some toning and surface wear consistent with well-handled vintage stock; no writing or paper loss is evident, keeping this out of PR-GOOD territory.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 — the horizontal lean is the primary centering concern. Corners: the visible corners show some softening/rounding, particularly the lower-left and upper-left, consistent with light to moderate handling wear; no sharp razor points visible. Surface and gloss: the card shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases detected, though the scan makes it difficult to confirm with certainty — surface appears clean with no visible staining or print defects beyond typical 1966 Topps print characteristics. Edges appear intact without significant chipping; rough cut texture is normal for this set and not penalized. The horizontal centering issue and corner rounding are the primary grade-limiting factors, placing this card in the EX to VG-EX range pending back inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65-70% left bias), top border slightly wider than bottom, roughly 65/35 L/R and 60/40 T/B — centering is off but not severely miscut. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-right appear softened), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and there may be minor toning on the white borders, though the COMC watermark obscures full surface assessment. No obvious creases are visible from this photo, but the image compression and watermark prevent a definitive call on light surface stress or fine creases; a crease could drop this to a 3.

Centering: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at approximately 55/45 T/B — centering is off but not extreme. Corners show visible rounding on at least the upper-left and lower-left corners visible in the image; right-side corners are partially obscured but appear to show wear as well. Surface shows some light soiling or handling marks and moderate gloss loss consistent with a VG-EX range card. No creases are clearly visible from this photo, but the back is unseen and the image does not allow confident corner closeup inspection, warranting a widened range. The card appears consistent with a PSA 4 VG-EX, with the lower bound accounting for possible hidden creases or worse corner rounding on the reverse side.
