1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #23 Umbrella Duel

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx. 55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx. 55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonably good for this issue. Corners: at photo resolution, all four corners appear to have light wear consistent with EX-MT to NM range; no sharp knife-edge corners are visible, suggesting mild rounding on at least 1-2 corners. Edges appear clean with no visible nicks or rough tears beyond the normal rough-cut texture expected for 1966 Topps Batman. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects visible; minor print snow cannot be ruled out at this resolution. Back is not visible so no paper loss, writing, or crease confirmation is possible — range is widened accordingly.

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (approx 60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is workable but not tight. Most critically, a diagonal crease is clearly visible running through the upper-left quadrant of the card, crossing the Batman figure; this is a hard cap on the grade, knocking it out of EX territory entirely. Corners show rounding consistent with a VG card — no sharp points remain. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some wear and likely toning on the white back-border areas; a horizontal stress line is also faintly visible near the lower portion of the card. The crease and corner rounding together place this firmly in the VG (3) range, with VG-EX (4) possible only if the crease proves shallower under direct inspection and GOOD (2) possible if additional back-side damage exists.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55L/45R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55T/45T) — centering is reasonably close, perhaps 65/35 at worst, no OC concern. Corners: at this resolution the corners appear to have only light wear with minimal rounding; no sharp fold creases are visible, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface: gloss appears present with good color saturation and no obvious print snow or major toning on the white border, though the toploader glare partially obscures the bottom-left and top-right corners making precise corner assessment difficult. No creases, stains, or writing are visible from this view; the back is unseen and could reveal hidden flaws, so the range is kept wide from EX (5) to NM (7) with EX-MT (6) as the point estimate.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most pronounced at the bottom-left and bottom-right corners, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Edges appear reasonably intact with the rough cut texture normal for this vintage issue; no obvious nicks visible but the scan resolution limits edge assessment. Surface shows some gloss loss and possible light handling wear across the face, though no creases are apparent from this angle — the absence of a visible crease keeps this out of VG (3) territory, but the rounded corners and surface wear prevent a push above EX (5). Back and corner closeups are unavailable, so the range is widened accordingly.
