1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #3 The Bat Signal — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably thinner than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — not ideal but within tolerable range for the grade band. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-right appear most worn), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss with some light scuffing or handling wear visible across the face — no obvious hard creases detected from this view, though the scan angle could mask shallow ones. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chips; the rough cut texture on the right edge is typical of this 1966 Topps issue and not penalized. Back is not visible, which prevents confirmation of creases or staining, widening the range downward to 3.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T-B), so horizontal centering is a meaningful concern. Corners show visible rounding on all accessible corners — the bottom-left corner in particular appears soft and rounded, consistent with a VG or lower card. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and some toning/wear on the white border areas, especially along the bottom edge. The seller's self-described 'GOOD' grade aligns with what is visible; no confirmed hard crease is visible from this angle but the overall wear pattern, corner rounding, and border toning point to a PSA 2–3 range, with PSA 3 (VG) as the most likely outcome assuming no hidden creases on reverse.

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 miscut. All four corners show visible rounding and wear, consistent with heavy handling; at least two corners appear notably soft. The white/cream borders show significant toning and edge wear with some fraying visible particularly on the lower-left corner. Surface shows gloss loss and what appears to be light soiling or wear across the image area; no obvious hard crease is visible from this angle though the card has a slightly bowed/wavy look suggesting possible soft crease. The photo angle limits full assessment of edge condition and back; range widened accordingly — card appears to grade in the VG to VG-EX range with corner and surface wear being the primary grade limiters.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 left-right favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 top-bottom) — centering is modest but not severely off-center. Corners show visible rounding at all four corners, most notable at the bottom-left and top-left, consistent with VG to VG-EX wear. Edges appear reasonably intact with the rough cut typical of 1966 Topps Batman not penalized. Surface shows some gloss loss and possible light handling wear; no obvious creases are visible in this photo, but the back is unseen and surface texture is hard to fully assess. The overall presentation suggests a VG-EX (4) as the most likely grade, with VG (3) possible if corner rounding is more pronounced than the photo reveals, and EX (5) possible if surface is cleaner than it appears.

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is not the primary concern here. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding, most apparent at bottom-left and top-left, consistent with a VG-range card. Surface: significant surface wear is visible — there are multiple crease lines or stress lines running diagonally across the lower-left quadrant of the card face, and lighter surface scuffing is present across the image area; gloss is substantially reduced. Edges: rough cut typical of vintage 1966 Topps Batman, not penalized. The visible creasing and corner rounding anchor this squarely in the VG (3) range, with VG-EX (4) possible only if the creases are shallower than they appear; GOOD (2) is the floor if the crease lines are deeper or if additional back-side damage exists.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (~60-65% of right border width), suggesting moderate left-heavy miscentering; top border appears slightly wider than bottom, roughly 55/45 top-to-bottom — overall centering reads approximately 65/35 left-right which is borderline EX-MT to EX territory. Corners show some visible rounding or soft wear, particularly on the lower-left and upper-left corners, consistent with EX-range handling wear. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling visible, consistent with light overall wear; no obvious creases are detected but the photo does not allow definitive confirmation. Edges appear reasonably clean with the typical rough-cut texture normal for this 1966 Topps issue, not penalized. Without corner closeups or a back scan, a range of 4–6 is appropriate — a crease or heavier corner wear hidden from this angle could push toward the lower bound.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approx 60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so for the grade range. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in frame (upper right and lower right appear softened), consistent with VG-EX to EX territory. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light soiling or toning across the image area; no obvious hard creases are visible from this distance, though the image resolution and possible sleeve glare prevent confident crease exclusion. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major tears; rough cut texture is normal for 1966 Topps Batman and is not penalized. Back is not visible. Range reflects uncertainty about crease presence and exact corner condition.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~70/30 left-to-right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 top-to-bottom) — centering is off but not catastrophically miscut. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most pronounced at the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with honest handling wear. Surface displays moderate gloss loss across the face, and there is visible toning/dirtying on the white border areas particularly along the bottom edge. No obvious hard crease is discernible from this photo, but the overall wear pattern — rounded corners, gloss loss, border soiling — places this solidly in the VG (3) range; a hidden crease on the back or heavier surface wear could push it to 2, while better-than-apparent corners upon close inspection might allow a VG-EX (4). Rough cut edges are vintage-normal for this set and not penalized.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border modestly wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable for EX-MT to NM range. Corners: top-left and bottom-right corners show slight softening visible at this resolution; top-right appears reasonably sharp; bottom-left is partially obscured by the logo overlay on the card art but looks intact. Surface shows consistent gloss with minor print texture consistent with vintage 1966 Topps production; no obvious creases detected. Edges appear reasonably clean with the expected rough-cut texture normal for this issue. A single-photo front view limits corner and edge assessment precision, and the card back cannot be evaluated, so the range is kept moderately wide.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — not ideal but not catastrophic. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most pronounced at bottom-left and bottom-right, consistent with a VG card. Surface shows noticeable wear and gloss loss across the face, with what appears to be light toning or soil in the border areas; the pink/red background may be masking minor staining. No obvious hard crease is detectable from this scan, though the scan resolution makes it difficult to confirm — a soft crease cannot be ruled out. The watermark obscures a portion of the center artwork but the card's general condition points to a PSA 3 (VG) range, with 4 (VG-EX) possible only if corners are slightly better than they appear and no hidden crease exists on the back.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60% of right border width), suggesting moderate left-heavy miscentering; top border appears slightly tighter than bottom — approximate L/R ratio ~65/35, T/B ~55/45, which is borderline NM territory horizontally but not ideal. Corners: all four corners show some rounding and softening visible at this resolution — no sharp points, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; no single corner appears severely blunted. Surface: some gloss loss evident, minor toning on white borders typical of this 1966 Topps issue; no visible creases detected from this photo though the back is unseen and cannot be confirmed crease-free. Edges: appear reasonably clean with no major fraying; rough cut texture is normal for this set and has not been penalized.

Centering estimate: left border ~8mm, right border ~5mm, top border ~6mm, bottom border ~5mm — approximately 60/40 L/R and 55/45 T/B, which is workable but not tight. Corners: upper-left and lower-left corners appear the sharpest from this angle; the upper-right corner shows a slight softening, and the lower-right is partially obscured by the card's curve — no hard creases visible. Surface presents reasonably well with no obvious print snow or staining noted in the image; gloss appears intact though lighting is not ideal for detecting subtle surface wear. Edges look clean with no evident nicks; rough-cut texture on the right edge is consistent with normal 1966 Topps production and not penalized. Back is unseen, so hidden creases or staining cannot be ruled out — range is widened accordingly.
