Index grading notes

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).

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 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 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).
