1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #35 Cat Woman Defeated

PSA has graded this 'Authentic' (not a numeric grade), which typically indicates the card is genuine but has been altered, trimmed, or has damage severe enough to preclude numeric grading. Visible in the photo: significant surface creasing running diagonally across the upper portion of the card, heavy corner damage at bottom-right including what appears to be paper loss or a chunk missing, additional corner/edge wear throughout, and overall gloss loss. Centering: left/right borders appear roughly 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom approximately 55/45 — centering itself is not the primary issue. The 'Authentic' designation means PSA itself determined this card cannot receive a numeric grade; a collector should treat it as a display/filler copy only, not a gradeable specimen for resale purposes.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-to-right), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 top-to-bottom), so centering is off but not severely so. Corners appear to have light wear — upper right shows some rounding, lower corners are harder to assess from this angle but appear similar, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface presents reasonable gloss with no visible creases, though the seller's title tag 'hg6' suggests they are self-grading at approximately 6, which aligns with the visual evidence. Edges appear clean without major nicks; print quality looks solid with good color saturation typical of this series. The left-right centering tilt is the primary grade limiter here, keeping this out of NM-MT territory.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) — centering is off but within EX-MT range territory; no miscut observed. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding, particularly visible on the lower-left and upper-left corners, consistent with a grade in the EX to VG-EX range; upper-right corner appears slightly better. Surface gloss is present but shows some wear/dulling, and there is minor toning on the white border edges typical of this 1966 Topps issue. No visible creases are detected in this photo, but the back is unseen and the card stand obscures the bottom edge slightly, preventing full corner assessment on lower corners; range is widened accordingly.

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border noticeably thinner than bottom (approx 65/35 T/B favoring bottom) — centering is imperfect but not severely off-center. The seller note 'READ' in the title suggests a disclosed flaw warranting attention. Corner wear is explicitly noted by the seller and is visible — at least two corners (lower-left and lower-right) show rounding consistent with a VG-EX to EX grade range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling visible, and the print/image quality looks clean without obvious creases in the image area, though the back is unseen. The card falls in the VG-EX to EX range (4–5), but the seller-disclosed condition note and visible corner rounding pull the floor down to VG (3); back inspection would be necessary to confirm no creases or staining.
