Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~60-65% right-heavy), top border slightly narrower than bottom, roughly 65/35 left-right — a meaningful centering defect but not OC territory. All four corners show visible rounding, with the lower-left and upper-left appearing the most worn; no corner is sharp. Surface shows moderate gloss loss consistent with handling, and there is some general soiling/toning across the image area typical of the era. No obvious hard creases are visible from this photo, but the image angle and resolution prevent confident assessment of the back and full surface condition — range is widened accordingly. A collector should expect a VG-EX to EX range pending back inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B) - centering is off but not catastrophically so for this issue. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-right appear softened), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be minor toning/soiling on the white border areas typical of aged 1966 Topps Batman stock. No obvious crease is visible in this photo, though the image resolution is insufficient to rule out a light surface crease with confidence; the seller title contains no crease disclosure. Edges appear slightly rough but consistent with normal vintage cutting for this set. Range widened due to inability to assess back, confirm absence of creases under better light, and fully evaluate corner wear at high resolution.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left / 40-45% right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 top/bottom) - centering is reasonable, no OC concern. Corners show visible light rounding on at least two corners visible (lower-left and upper-right appear softened), consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with typical vintage rough-cut texture normal for this issue. Surface shows acceptable gloss with no obvious creases visible, though the COMC watermark partially obscures the lower-center surface; no staining or major print defects noted. Back is not visible, and corner detail is limited at this resolution, so the range is widened slightly to account for hidden wear.

Centering estimate: left border ~35%, right border ~65% left-to-right (notably right-heavy); top border ~30%, bottom border ~70% top-to-bottom — centering is off but not miscut territory. Corners show visible rounding on all four corners, most pronounced at lower-left and upper-right, consistent with a VG grade. Surface shows some gloss loss and the overall image has a slightly worn, muted appearance typical of handled vintage cards; no obvious hard creases are visible in this photo, though the seller's title does not specifically flag a crease. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major chips or tears visible. The combination of rounded corners, off-centering, and gloss loss points to a PSA 3 VG as the most likely grade, with a 4 VG-EX possible if corner wear is slightly less severe than it appears at this resolution.
