1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #43 The Bat-Gasmask

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) - centering is reasonably tight and not a primary grade concern. Corners appear mostly sharp with possible very light wear on one or two corners, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface shows strong gloss retention with vivid color saturation and no visible creases. Edges appear clean with no obvious nicks visible from this angle; the back is not visible so hidden issues (staining, creases, paper loss) cannot be ruled out, hence the wider range floor of 5. Overall a presentable mid-to-high grade example that most collectors would estimate in the EX-MT (6) neighborhood pending back inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B), so centering is marginal but not severely off-center. Corners show visible rounding at all four tips — most apparent at upper corners suggesting wear consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some general toning/aging consistent with a 57-year-old card, and there appears to be light soiling or print wear across the image area; no obvious hard creases are visible from this photo but the compressed image quality makes it impossible to rule out light surface creases entirely. Edges appear reasonably intact without major chips or tears, consistent with normal handling wear; rough cut texture is expected for this issue and not penalized.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B), so centering is off but not severely miscut - no adjacent card printing visible. Corners show visible rounding on all four, with the bottom-left appearing most worn; these are not sharp, suggesting handling wear consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light soiling or toning across the face, though print quality of the artwork itself reads clearly. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious tears or paper loss; the rough cut texture is typical for this 1966 Topps issue and not penalized. Back is not visible, limiting assessment of creases or staining that could push grade lower.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60-65% right-heavy), top border slightly tighter than bottom, approximating L/R ~65/35 and T/B ~55/45 — borderline but within EX-MT range horizontally. Corners show mild to moderate rounding on at least the visible upper corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX wear. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light toning/aging across the green background, which is typical for this set. No obvious creases are visible from this photo, but the watermark obscures the center surface making it impossible to rule out light surface wear or print defects; edges appear reasonably clean with no severe chipping. The combination of corner rounding and centering pushes this toward a PSA 5 EX point estimate, with range extending to 4 if corners are more rounded on reverse or hidden crease present, or to 6 if surface is cleaner than it appears under the overlay.
