1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #35 Cat Woman Defeated — Raw

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears modestly wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable for NM-MT range but not perfect. Corners: all four corners appear reasonably sharp at this photo resolution; no obvious rounding visible, but the image is not close enough to rule out light wear on the tips. Edges: appear clean with no visible nicks; rough-cut edges are normal for this issue and are not penalized. Surface: gloss appears present and intact, no creases visible consistent with seller's claim, no obvious print snow or major staining on the white borders, though slight toning on white borders cannot be ruled out from this distance. The image resolution limits corner and edge confidence, warranting a widened range; a PSA 6 EX-MT is the most likely grade given the centering and apparent light wear, but 7 NM is possible if corners hold up under magnification.

Centering estimate: left border is obscured by holder's finger, but top/bottom appear roughly 60/40 (top slightly heavier) and left/right is difficult to call precisely — likely 65/35 to 70/30 left-heavy once the finger is removed, suggesting mild off-center but not severe. Corners: the two visible corners (top-right and bottom-right) show light rounding consistent with EX to EX-MT range; top-left and bottom-left are hidden by the finger. Surface appears to retain moderate gloss with no obvious creases visible, though fine surface wear and minor print snow typical of this issue are present. Edges look reasonably clean with no major chipping noted, though the rough-cut texture normal for 1966 Topps Batman should not be penalized. The finger obstruction prevents full corner and left-border assessment, widening the range; a full four-corner view could push this into a 6 or drop it to a 4 depending on hidden wear.

Centering: left/right borders appear roughly 55/45 acceptable, top/bottom closer to 60/40 slightly top-heavy — centering alone is not the primary concern. The card shows a prominent horizontal crease running across the middle of the card, clearly visible as a white stress line bisecting the image — this is the most damaging defect and alone caps the grade in the VG-GOOD range. Corners show moderate-to-heavy rounding on all four, consistent with a card that has seen significant handling. Surface gloss appears largely lost with additional minor surface wear and possible additional faint creasing near the left edge. Given the significant horizontal crease and rounded corners, PSA 2 (GOOD) is the most likely outcome, with PSA 3 (VG) possible only if the crease is shallower than it appears in this light.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right border (~65/35 L-R skew), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at roughly 55/45 — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners are difficult to assess cleanly from this angle and distance; they appear to show some rounding/soft wear consistent with a 5 EX to 4 VG-EX card, though no corner is visibly blunted severely. Surface gloss appears moderate with some loss visible, consistent with light handling wear; no obvious creases are detectable from this photo but the image quality and angle cannot rule one out on the reverse or in subtler areas. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major nicks visible, though the rough-cut nature typical of this 1966 Topps issue makes edge assessment difficult — this is expected for the set and is not penalized.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — acceptable for vintage. No miscut visible. Corners appear to show light to moderate wear — upper-left and lower-right corners look mildly blunted at this resolution, upper-right appears slightly sharper, preventing a confident 7+ call. Surface appears to retain decent gloss with no obvious creases visible, though the sleeve reflections limit a definitive surface read. Edges look clean without significant fraying. Without corner macro shots or a back view, the range stays wide; a crease hidden under gloss or heavier corner rounding than visible could pull this to a 5, while clean corners under magnification could support a 7.

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 acceptable and not a primary grade driver here. The seller note 'READ' in the title suggests a disclosed flaw; corner wear is explicitly noted in the image caption. All four corners show visible rounding/wear visible even at this resolution — upper-left and lower-right appear softest, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling, no obvious hard creases visible from this angle though the photo cannot rule out light surface creases. Edges appear reasonably clean with no gross roughness beyond normal vintage cut texture. The confirmed corner wear noted by the seller and visible in the scan caps this conservatively at EX (5), with EX-MT (6) possible if corners are better than they appear, and VG-EX (4) as the floor if any hidden crease or additional wear is present on the reverse.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (roughly 55/45 L-R), top border slightly larger than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B) — centering is acceptable, no severe miscut. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding consistent with EX range; no sharp points are visible at any of the four corners, though no dramatic blunting either. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases detected in this photo, but the seller's disclosed grade of EX/EX+ is plausible and no crease is self-disclosed. Edges look clean with the rough-cut texture normal for this issue. Without a back view or corner macro shots, the range is widened; a hidden crease or heavier corner wear could push this toward VG-EX (4), while clean surface and moderate corner wear support EX (5) as the most likely grade.

Centering: left border appears roughly equal to right (~55/45 L/R), top border visibly narrower than bottom (~65/35 T/B) – modest but not severe miscentering. The upper-left corner shows noticeable rounding/wear visible even at this scale; upper-right corner also appears softened; lower corners are harder to assess but look similar or slightly better. Surface shows some gloss loss consistent with handling, and there is a visible crease or fold artifact in the lower-left quadrant near the title box area that is concerning – if confirmed as a crease this pushes toward the VG-3 range. White borders show light toning typical of the 1966 issue and should not be over-penalized. Without a corner macro shot the range is necessarily wide; the crease-like mark is the key grade-limiting factor.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 65/35 L-R), top and bottom borders look more balanced at roughly 55/45 T-B — centering is acceptable for EX-MT range but the left-right imbalance is a mild concern. Corners appear reasonably sharp with no obvious rounding visible from this distance, though the lower-left corner behind the bat-logo overlay cannot be fully assessed. Surface gloss appears moderate with no visible creases, staining, or print defects beyond what is typical for 1966 Topps (minor print snow and light toning would be expected and not penalized). Without corner closeups or a back view, the range cannot be tightened further; a confident EX-MT (6) point estimate reflects the visible centering issue suppressing what might otherwise be a 7.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T-B) — centering is off but not catastrophically miscut. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding and softening, with the lower-left corner appearing the most worn; no sharp corners are evident, consistent with VG-EX to EX territory at best. Surface: the acrylic case introduces glare that obscures assessment of full gloss retention, but toning and print texture consistent with the 1966 Topps run are visible; no obvious creases can be confirmed from this angle though minor surface wear cannot be ruled out. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major nicks visible, and the rough-cut texture normal for this vintage set is present; the case prevents back inspection, and the glare limits confident surface grading — range is widened accordingly.
