1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #42 Robin in Peril

Centering: left border appears notably wider than right (~65/35 left-heavy L/R), top and bottom borders appear relatively balanced (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely miscut. Corners: upper-left and lower-left corners show visible rounding/soft wear; upper-right appears slightly better; lower-right is partially obscured by the bat logo but appears worn. Surface: gloss appears moderate with some loss evident across the face; no obvious creases visible in this scan, consistent with EX territory. Edges appear intact without significant chipping; print quality is typical for the 1966 Topps Black Bat run. Back is not visible, limiting full assessment; a hidden crease or staining could push the grade toward a 4.

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 for EX range. Corners: all four corners show mild-to-moderate rounding, consistent with EX (PSA 5) wear; no sharp points visible but no severe blunting either. Edges: cuts appear typical rough vintage Topps — no miscut detected, edges show light wear but no major nicks. Surface: gloss appears moderately retained with some wear/dulling visible, no creases apparent from this photo, minor print imperfections consistent with the era. The seller's 'EX' self-assessment aligns with the visual evidence; back condition and precise corner assessment are unavailable, so range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate (approximate, correcting for angle): left border appears slightly wider than right, top border moderately wider than bottom — rough L/R ~55/45, T/B ~60/40, suggesting centering is acceptable and not severely off. Corners: the two visible corners (lower-left and lower-right) show light-to-moderate rounding consistent with a 5 EX range; upper corners are obscured by perspective but show no dramatic dog-ears visible. Surface: gloss appears present but slightly muted — some expected toning on the white border is visible at lower left, consistent with the vintage stock; no obvious creases are visible in the image but the oblique angle could mask light surface creases. Edges appear intact with no major nicks visible; rough cut texture on bottom left is normal for this issue and not penalized. The angled photo limits confidence on corner sharpness and surface detail — a full frontal shot could shift this range by a grade in either direction.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right by a moderate margin (~60/40 L/R favoring right); top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) - centering is workable but not tight. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most notably the lower-left and upper-left, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light toning/wear consistent with a card of this age; no obvious creases are visible in this photo though the image resolution limits a definitive crease call. Edges appear intact without major chips or tears, which is typical for this set's rougher cut stock. The seller's title does not disclose creases, and none are clearly visible, placing the point estimate at 4 (VG-EX), though a light surface crease hidden by the scan angle could push it to 3.
