1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #22 Double-Cross

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B) — centering is acceptable for a PSA 5-6 range. Corners: the top-loader obscures precise corner inspection, but what is visible suggests light-to-moderate rounding on at least two corners with no sharp points readily apparent, consistent with EX to VG-EX territory. Edges appear reasonably clean with no gross chips visible. Surface shows retained color saturation and no obvious crease lines or staining under this lighting; gloss level is difficult to assess through the plastic sleeve but no heavy wear or wrinkling is evident. The top-loader prevents definitive corner and edge assessment, and back cannot be evaluated — range is widened accordingly; a hidden crease or heavy corner wear could pull this to a 4, while clean corners and full gloss could support a 6.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 70/30 left-right), top border wider than bottom (roughly 65/35 top-bottom) — off-center but not severely so. The upper-left corner appears to show some rounding/soft wear; the lower corners are partially obscured by the sleeve shadow but show no obvious blunting from what is visible. Surface gloss appears moderate with some wear or light toning evident across the white border areas — consistent with a handled card in the EX range. No visible creases from this angle, and no writing or staining detected. Back is not visible so hidden defects (creases, stains, paper loss) cannot be ruled out, widening the range downward. A confirmed crease or heavier corner wear on the reverse would push this toward a 4.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 65-70/30-35 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so, consistent with PSA 6-7 range. Corners: the two visible corners (bottom-left and bottom-right) show light wear with minor blunting but no significant rounding; upper corners cannot be fully assessed at this angle but appear intact. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious chips or tears; rough cut texture is normal for this 1966 Topps issue and is not penalized. Surface gloss appears present with no obvious creases visible, though the photo angle and printing style make subtle surface wear difficult to detect definitively. The card presents well overall at first glance but the left-right centering tilt keeps the ceiling from reaching NM-MT territory without closer corner and back inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 70/30 left-right favoring right), top border slightly tighter than bottom (approximately 60/40 top-bottom) — centering is off but not catastrophically so, consistent with EX-range. The bottom-left corner (most visible) shows noticeable rounding suggesting wear beyond NM condition; the upper corners are harder to assess at this resolution. Surface gloss appears moderate with some loss visible, consistent with EX to EX-MT range. No creases are visible from this photo, and the black bat logo area appears clean with no obvious print defects beyond normal vintage print snow. The rough cut edges are typical for the 1966 Topps Batman issue and are not penalized. Image compression limits precise corner and edge assessment, widening the range.
