1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #39 To the Batcave — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (roughly 55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T/B) — centering is serviceable but not tight. Corners: all four corners show some degree of rounding/softening visible at this resolution; no sharp points are evident, with the upper-left and lower-right appearing slightly more worn — consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with the expected rough-cut texture normal for this 1966 Topps issue. Surface shows decent gloss retention with no visible creases confirmed, consistent with the seller's claim; some minor print imperfections typical of the era are present but no obvious snow or heavy toning on the white border. The photo angle is slightly off-square which compresses the left edge, introducing some uncertainty in the centering and corner read — backs and corner macro shots are unavailable, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B) - not severely off but the bottom border is tighter than ideal. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most pronounced at bottom corners, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and the image appears slightly dull under the sleeve, consistent with age-related wear; no obvious creases are visible from this photo but the back cannot be assessed. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major nicks visible, though the cut texture is typical rough vintage Topps and not penalized. The sleeve/top-loader limits a close inspection of corner tips and surface texture, widening uncertainty - a hidden crease or heavier corner wear could push this to PSA 3.

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 quite good and not a grade-limiting factor. Corners appear reasonably sharp from this distance; no obvious rounding visible on any of the four corners, though the scan resolution prevents definitive corner assessment. Surface shows strong color and apparent gloss retention with no visible creases or staining. Edges appear clean with no major nicks apparent; vintage rough-cut texture is noted on the right edge but is period-normal for this issue and not penalized. The back is not visible and corner wear cannot be fully confirmed at this resolution, so the range is widened accordingly — a clean NM 7 is the most likely outcome, with NM-MT 8 possible if corners hold up under close inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right, roughly 55/45 L/R; top border noticeably wider than bottom, approximately 65/35 T/B — centering is acceptable but not tight. The upper-left corner shows visible rounding/wear and appears the worst of the four; upper-right and lower corners show moderate softening consistent with handling. Surface gloss appears partially intact but shows some loss across the face, likely from age and storage. White borders show toning/yellowing typical of this 57-year-old issue, which is vintage-normal and not penalized heavily; no creases are visible from this photo but the back is unexamined. Overall condition points to a VG-EX (4) with a possible floor of VG (3) if hidden back issues or a crease emerges, and a ceiling of EX (5) if corners are better than they appear at this resolution.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly tighter than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. The COMC watermark obscures a significant portion of the card surface, making surface condition assessment unreliable. Corners visible at top-left and top-right show moderate rounding consistent with a VG-EX to EX range; bottom corners are partially obscured by the title banner graphic. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious tears, and the card stock does not show dramatic gloss loss, though the scan compression and watermark prevent a confident surface read. Given the visible corner wear and centering issues, the range of 3–5 reflects genuine uncertainty — a crease hiding under the watermark would push this to a 3, while clean surfaces beneath could support a 5.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~60/40 L-R favoring right), top border appears slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not dramatically so, likely within EX-VG-EX range on that axis alone. Corners show visible rounding on at least the lower-left and upper-left corners visible in frame; right-side corners are partially obscured by angle but appear similarly soft — consistent with VG to VG-EX corner wear. Edges appear slightly rough but this is normal for 1966 Topps cuts and should not be over-penalized. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and what appears to be light toning/aging across the face; no obvious hard creases are visible in this photo but the perspective angle and image resolution limit certainty. The card appears to have honest wear consistent with nearly 60 years of age, landing most likely in the VG-EX (4) range, with EX (5) possible if corners are sharper than they appear and no hidden creases exist on the back.

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly 10-12% wider than right border, top border slightly wider than bottom — approximately 55/45 L/R and 58/42 T/B, which is acceptable for a mid-grade vintage card. Corners: all four corners show some rounding/wear visible at this resolution; upper-left and lower-right appear softer than the other two, suggesting moderate wear consistent with EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with no dramatic chipping visible, consistent with typical 1966 Topps rough-cut norms. Surface gloss appears partially retained but the COMC watermark obscures a significant portion of the face, making it impossible to confirm the absence of creases, print defects, or staining in that zone — this uncertainty widens the range downward to 4; the visible areas suggest EX (5) as the most likely grade, with EX-MT (6) possible if the obscured surface is clean.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right by a modest margin (~60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so. Corners appear to show light-to-moderate rounding, particularly visible at the lower-left and upper-left, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges look reasonably clean with no obvious chipping or major roughness beyond normal vintage cut texture for this issue. Surface gloss appears present but the COMC watermark obscures the center, making surface assessment (scratches, print defects, staining) difficult; no obvious creases are visible but cannot be ruled out entirely. The rough cut on the right edge is characteristic of this series and should not be over-penalized.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (roughly 55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable for EX-MT range. Corners appear lightly worn with minor rounding visible at the lower-left and lower-right corners under this scan resolution; upper corners look comparatively sharper. Edges show the typical rough-cut texture normal for this 1966 Topps issue, with no alarming nicks visible. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creasing or staining visible in the scan, though a single front-only photo cannot rule out back-side issues or subtle surface wear; the seller's EX-MT self-assessment aligns with the visible evidence, placing the likely grade at PSA 6 with upside to 7 if corners hold under loupe.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in this image (lower-left and upper-left areas suggest wear), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light scuffing or surface wear across the face; a possible light crease or handling line is suggested near the lower-right quadrant but cannot be confirmed definitively from this single photo. Edges appear intact without major nicks. The card shows typical vintage handling wear for a 57-year-old raw card; back condition and confirmed absence/presence of creases would be needed to narrow this range further.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L-R favoring right), top and bottom borders look relatively even (~55/45 T-B); centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (bottom-left and top-left most apparent), consistent with honest handling wear. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be a light horizontal disturbance across the upper-left quadrant that could be a soft crease or print artifact — the sleeve glare makes it impossible to confirm definitively. Edges appear reasonably clean with no gross paper loss, consistent with normal vintage handling; rough cut texture typical of this issue and not penalized. Overall condition profile points to VG-EX (4) as the most likely grade, with EX (5) possible if the surface disturbance is a print artifact rather than a crease, and VG (3) if it confirms as a crease on inspection.

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable, no severe tilt. Corners: all four corners appear reasonably sharp with only minor wear visible; no obvious rounding but fine tips cannot be fully confirmed at this resolution. Surface: gloss appears intact with good color saturation; some light print speckling consistent with vintage 1966 Topps production, no visible creases. Edges: cuts appear slightly rough but this is normal for the Black Bat series and should not be penalized heavily; no major chipping or fraying visible. Overall the card presents as EX-MT to NM range, with the primary uncertainty being corner sharpness and any back-side issues that cannot be assessed from this single front photo.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders look relatively even (~55/45 T/B), placing this in VG-EX to EX centering territory horizontally. Corners: all four show visible rounding under even casual inspection — no sharp points remain, consistent with VG to VG-EX wear; no corner is catastrophically bent but none is crisp. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks or tears visible at this resolution, consistent with typical handling wear. Surface shows some gloss loss and possible minor toning on the white borders, but no crease is clearly identifiable from this photo — back is unseen and a hidden crease cannot be ruled out. The photo angle and denim background limit fine detail assessment, particularly on corner tips and edge texture, warranting a widened range of 3–5 with a point estimate of 4 (VG-EX).

Centering: left border appears narrower than right by a modest margin (~60/40 L/R), top and bottom borders appear relatively balanced (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a PSA 6-7 range. Corners: the upper-left and lower-right corners show slight rounding/softening visible at this resolution; upper-right and lower-left appear crisper but not razor-sharp. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks; the rough-cut texture on the left edge is normal for this 1966 Topps issue and should not be penalized. Surface shows good gloss retention with no visible creases or staining; minor print snow typical of the set may be present but is not distinguishable at this resolution. Back condition, which could reveal creases or stains, is not visible and widens the range downward.
