1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #26 Queen of Crime — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at approximately 60/40 T/B — centering is off horizontally. The seller explicitly notes creases and corner wear, and at this image resolution visible wear is consistent with that disclosure; at least one crease appears present in the card surface. Corners show rounding consistent with a VG range card. Surface gloss appears partially intact but with visible loss, and the card shows the typical aging expected of a raw 1966 Topps Batman. The watermark partially obscures fine surface detail, adding some uncertainty; the disclosed creases and corner wear combined with the centering issues place this squarely in the VG (3) range, with VG-EX (4) possible only if the crease is very light and corners better than they appear, and GOOD (2) possible if multiple creases are confirmed on handling.

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 imperfect but not severely off-center. Corners show visible light rounding on all four, most notable at lower-left and upper-right, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with no egregious chipping; rough cut texture is normal for this issue and not penalized. Surface shows intact gloss with no obvious creasing visible in this photo, though the scan cannot confirm the reverse or rule out subtle surface wear; print quality looks solid with no major snow or ink defects noted. Back condition and corner sharpness under magnification remain unknowable from this single front image, widening the range from VG-EX to EX.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly tighter than bottom (~55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not extreme, consistent with EX-VG-EX range. Corners show visible rounding on at least the lower-left and upper-left corners visible in the image; the lower-right corner beneath Batman's cape is harder to assess but appears soft as well. Surface shows some gloss loss and minor wear consistent with handling; no obvious hard creases are visible but the image resolution is insufficient to rule out light surface creases. Edges appear reasonably clean without major chipping, which is normal for this issue. The photo lighting and angle obscure fine corner and surface detail, warranting a widened range of 3–5 with a point estimate of 4 (VG-EX).

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 70/30 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 60/40 — moderate miscentering but within VG-EX range for this set. The seller self-discloses a crease, which the photo partially corroborates — there is a suggestion of a diagonal surface disturbance in the lower-left quadrant, consistent with a light crease; if confirmed, this is the primary grade-killer pushing the card toward PSA 3 VG territory. Corner wear is visible at the lower-left and upper-right corners showing rounding, consistent with VG to VG-EX range. Gloss appears partially intact but glare from the sleeve limits surface read; the sleeve/angle prevents a definitive corner and crease assessment — the disclosed crease is the decisive factor here and I am taking it at face value, landing the card most likely at PSA 3.

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly 10-12% wider than right border, top border slightly wider than bottom — approximately 60/40 left-to-right and 55/45 top-to-bottom; centering is acceptable for EX-EX-MT range. Corners show light rounding on all four tips, most visible on the lower corners, consistent with EX (5) grade; no sharp PSA-8+ corners are present. Surface gloss appears moderate — some loss visible across the image area but no obvious creases or staining are detected from this angle; print quality is typical for the series with no severe snow or major defects noted. Back is not visible so hidden creases or staining cannot be ruled out; the white borders show mild toning consistent with age, and the rough-cut edges are normal for this 1966 Topps issue and are not penalized.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (roughly 55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (approximately 65/35 T/B) — within EX-MT range but tighter at bottom. Corners appear lightly worn with minor blunting visible at the lower corners; upper corners look slightly crisper. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases or staining visible, though the seller's title notation 'hg6' likely signals a self-assessed grade of 6, consistent with what the photo shows. Edges look clean with no major chipping; rough cut texture is expected for this 1966 Topps issue and not penalized. Without corner close-ups or back inspection, a crease cannot be fully ruled out, keeping the floor at 5.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left bias), top border moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Corners appear to have light wear at two or three corners with minor rounding visible, consistent with a 6-7 grade; no corner is sharp enough to confidently call NM. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible from this photo, though the watermark and glare obscure fine surface detail. Edges look clean with no major chips; rough cut texture is normal for this issue and not penalized. Back and corner closeups are unavailable, so the range is widened; a crease hidden by the image angle could drop this to a 4-5.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is quite respectable and not a grade-limiting factor. Corners: upper-left and upper-right corners appear reasonably sharp with only minor softening visible; lower corners are harder to assess due to the card angle and artwork darkness, but no obvious blunting or rounding is evident. Edges appear clean with no visible nicks or tears, consistent with normal vintage rough-cut texture for this set. Surface gloss appears intact with good color saturation and no visible creases, staining, or print defects beyond what is normal print snow for the series; however, a single flat photo cannot fully reveal surface wear, scratches, or back condition, so the range is widened accordingly.
