1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #22 Double-Cross

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable for EX range. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on all four corners, with the lower-left appearing most worn; no corner is sharp enough for NM territory. Edges appear reasonably clean with the typical rough-cut texture normal for this 1966 issue — no penalty applied for that. Surface shows some gloss loss consistent with handling, and there is visible toning/aging on the white border areas, but no obvious creases or staining are detectable from this photo. The back is not visible, limiting confidence; a hidden crease or staining could push the grade down to 4, while cleaner-than-apparent corners could push toward 6.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 70/30 left-right favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approximately 60/40 top-bottom) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners: the visible upper-left and lower-left corners show some rounding and soft wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range; the right-side corners are partially obscured by the image composition but appear similarly worn. Surface gloss appears moderate with some loss, no obvious creases are visible in this photo though cannot be ruled out on reverse or in hand. Edges appear intact with no major nicks visible; rough cut texture is normal for this issue and not penalized. The overall impression is an honest EX card, with centering and corner wear the primary grade limiters.

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 reasonably good, no severe miscut. Corners: from this distance the corners appear to have only light wear with no obvious rounding or fraying, consistent with EX-MT range, though the top-loader and modest image resolution prevent definitive corner assessment. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases visible; print quality looks clean with no notable snow or toning on the white border regions visible. The card sits in a top-loader introducing some glare on the left side that obscures precise corner and edge reads, so the range is widened accordingly — a true EX (5) floor accounts for possible hidden corner rounding, while a NM (7) ceiling is realistic if corners hold up under close inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~70/30 L-R), top and bottom borders appear roughly 55/45 T-B — centering is off but not miscut territory. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners observable from this angle, consistent with VG-level wear. The surface appears to have some gloss loss and there is visible creasing or heavy handling wear across portions of the card face, most notably in the lower-left quadrant. Edges appear somewhat rough but this is normal for the 1966 Topps Black Bat series. The 'HP' notation in red ink in the upper right corner is a collector/owner marking that constitutes writing on the card face — this is a significant qualifier that PSA would mark as a defect, likely capping the grade at 2-3 regardless of other condition factors.
