1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #31 Threat of the Cat Woman — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (roughly 55/45 L/R), top border appears noticeably wider than bottom (roughly 65/35 T/B), so centering is acceptable but bottom border is tight - no miscut detected. Corners show light rounding on at least the visible corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; no sharp razor corners but no severe rounding either. Surface gloss appears moderate with some loss visible, consistent with age and handling; no obvious creases are visible in this image though the back cannot be assessed. Edges appear reasonably clean with the typical rough-cut texture normal for this vintage set; overall the card presents as a solid EX (5) example, with uncertainty extending down to VG-EX (4) if hidden corner or surface wear exists on the back or in areas obscured by image compression.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65-70% left bias), top border slightly wider than bottom, roughly 65/35 L/R and 60/40 T/B — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (upper-left and lower-left are most visible), consistent with a VG to VG-EX range. Surface shows scattered print wear and some toning/soiling particularly in the lower-left quadrant near the bat logo; gloss appears largely gone. No obvious hard creases are visible in this scan, but surface texture and soiling suggest significant handling; the photo resolution limits definitive crease assessment. Overall condition is consistent with PSA 3 VG, with the range acknowledging the possibility of a hidden crease pushing to 2 or cleaner surface than apparent pushing to 4.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~70/30 left-right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 top-bottom), so horizontal centering is a meaningful concern. All four corners show visible rounding — none appear sharp, with the lower-left corner showing the most wear. Surface shows general gloss loss consistent with handling, and there appears to be light creasing or surface stress visible near the center-left area of the card, though the image resolution makes it difficult to confirm a hard crease definitively. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major chips or tears visible. The combination of rounded corners, likely surface crease, gloss loss, and off-centering lands this squarely in the VG (3) range, with a realistic floor of GOOD (2) if the suspected crease is confirmed on inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B), so centering is modest but not severely off-center. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on the visible corners, particularly the bottom-left and bottom-right, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; no razor sharpness evident. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious chipping, and the rough-cut texture typical of 1966 Topps is present but not penalized. Surface shows some gloss loss and possible minor handling wear, but no creases are clearly visible in this image — the back is unseen so hidden defects cannot be ruled out, widening the range downward.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 65-70% left / 30-35% right L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B), so centering is off but not catastrophically miscut - no adjacent card printing visible on any edge. Corners: at least two corners (lower-left and upper-left) show visible rounding/wear consistent with VG-EX to EX range; the right-side corners are harder to assess at this resolution but appear similarly worn. Surface: some gloss loss evident, and there is minor soiling or toning on the white border areas, particularly the lower portion; no obvious crease is visible from this angle though a light surface crease cannot be ruled out on the back. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major nicks; the left-of-center horizontal positioning is the primary grade anchor pushing this toward VG-EX rather than EX or better.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (~70/30 left-right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 top-bottom), so horizontal centering is a meaningful concern. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (bottom-left and bottom-right are most visible), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and light soiling or toning but no obvious hard creases are visible from this photo, though the seller title does not disclose a crease. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major nicks evident. The horizontal centering deficiency and corner rounding cap this at VG-EX (4) as the most likely grade; back cannot be assessed and a hidden crease or stain could push this toward VG (3), while better-than-apparent corners could support EX (5).

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60% right-heavy), top border slightly wider than bottom - rough L/R ratio approximately 60/40 favoring right, T/B close to 55/45; centering is off but not severely so. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding visible at all four corners, most notably the upper-left and lower-right, suggesting EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears decent with reasonable color saturation and no obvious creases visible from this photo, though the scan cannot rule out hairlines or back condition issues. Edges appear reasonably clean with no egregious chipping; rough cut texture is normal for this 1966 Topps issue and is not penalized. Without corner close-ups or back imagery, a one-point spread is appropriate - most likely grades EX (5) but could slip to VG-EX (4) if corners are more rounded than they appear, or reach EX-MT (6) if gloss holds up on inspection.

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left bias), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45), so left/right roughly 58/42 and top/bottom roughly 55/45 — acceptable for EX-MT to NM range. Corners appear reasonably sharp with very light wear visible, consistent with EX-MT to NM condition; no obvious severe rounding detected. Surface shows good color saturation and gloss retention with minor print texture typical of the 1966 Topps Batman series; no creases are visible in this photo. The seller's 'hg6' notation suggests they self-grade around EX-MT (6), which aligns with the visible evidence — some minor corner and edge wear keeps this from the NM tier, and the back cannot be assessed from this single-sided photo, widening the range modestly.

Centering estimate: left border ~35%, right border ~65% left-to-right, suggesting moderate off-center condition approximately 65/35 L/R; top/bottom appears closer to 55/45. Corners appear to show light wear with minor softening visible on at least two corners (upper left and lower right appear slightly rounded), consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible from this angle, and color saturation looks strong. The back of the card is not visible, limiting full assessment; the off-center left/right ratio is the primary grade-limiting factor here, nudging the estimate toward EX-MT (6) rather than NM (7).
