1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #44 Flying Fists — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (approx 60/40 L-R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approx 55/45 T-B) — within acceptable range for EX-MT to NM territory. Corners: the two visible corners (bottom-left partially obscured by bat logo graphic, bottom-right corner of card) appear to have minimal rounding; upper corners are largely hidden by the card art angle but show no obvious blunting. Edges appear clean with no visible nicks or rough tears beyond normal vintage cut texture. Surface shows good gloss retention with no visible creases consistent with seller's claim; no obvious print snow or staining noted on the image area, though the white border quality cannot be fully assessed from this photo angle. Back is unseen, and corner sharpness cannot be confirmed at high magnification — the range reflects this uncertainty.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but within EX-EX-MT range. Corners: the lower-left and lower-right corners show visible rounding/wear under inspection; upper corners are partially obscured by the top-loader lip but appear softer than crisp. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible in this image, consistent with vintage rough-cut norms for this set. Surface shows good color saturation and apparent gloss retention, but the right-side glare from the plastic holder prevents a clean read on surface wear there — no creases are visible from this angle. Back is not visible, limiting confidence; a hidden crease or staining on the reverse could push this down to 4 or lower.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T/B) — off-center left-to-right is the primary concern. Corners: at this resolution the corners appear to have light rounding, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; no sharp points visible but no severe rounding either. Surface: gloss appears moderate with some light wear; no creases are visible from this photo, and the image area looks clean without obvious print defects beyond normal vintage print snow. Edges show the typical rough-cut texture normal for 1966 Topps Batman and are not penalized; back is not visible so staining or creases there cannot be ruled out, widening the range.

Centering: left border appears noticeably wider than right (estimated ~65/35 L/R), top and bottom borders appear roughly even (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but within EX-MT/NM territory. Corners: upper-left and lower-right corners show slight blunting visible at this resolution; upper-right appears reasonably sharp; lower-left is partially obscured by the Batman logo insert but looks soft. Edges appear clean with no obvious nicks or rough tears beyond normal vintage cut texture for this set. Surface gloss looks moderate to good with no obvious creases, staining, or print snow visible — the image is somewhat compressed which limits fine surface inspection. Back is not visible, and corner closeups are unavailable, so the range is widened accordingly; a hidden crease or heavier corner wear could push this toward a 5.

Centering: The card appears significantly left-shifted and possibly top-heavy from this angle — left border appears noticeably wider than right, and the card reads as miscut with what looks like encroachment on the right edge; estimating approximately 85/15 left-right, though the angled photo makes precision impossible. The seller self-discloses 'miscut' which is consistent with what the photo suggests, and PSA typically caps miscut cards at grade 2-3 regardless of surface condition. Corners cannot be assessed cleanly due to the storage box angle and glare, but the seller calls it VG which implies rounding. Surface gloss appears present but detail is obscured by the acrylic box glare and perspective. The miscut disclosure is the dominant grade factor here — without it this might grade higher on surface alone, but the cut defect caps the estimate in the 2-4 range; a PSA 3 is the most likely outcome if the miscut is confirmed on all edges.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably thinner than right (approximately 70/30 left-right), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 — the left-right lean is the primary centering concern. Corners show light rounding visible at all four corners, most pronounced at bottom-left and top-right, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface presents decent remaining gloss with no creases immediately evident, though the scan angle limits confidence on surface wear. Edges appear reasonably clean with no egregious chipping; slight toning on white borders is normal for this 1966 issue and not penalized. Back is not visible so hidden creases or staining cannot be ruled out, widening the range downward to 4.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-right), top and bottom borders look relatively even at roughly 55/45 — centering is moderately off horizontally, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Corners appear reasonably sharp from this distance with no obvious rounding visible, though the resolution does not allow definitive corner closeup assessment. Surface shows good color saturation and apparent gloss retention with no obvious creases or staining visible. Edges appear clean with no major chipping; rough-cut texture noted on left edge which is normal for this 1966 Topps issue and not penalized. The horizontal off-centering is the primary grade limiter; without corner and back inspection, the range remains wide.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for EX-MT range. Corners are difficult to assess precisely from this angle and distance; the four corners appear to show only light wear with no obvious blunting or rounding visible, but the photo does not provide tight corner closeups to confirm. Surface gloss appears intact with good color saturation and no visible creases or staining. Edges look reasonably clean with no obvious nicks; rough cut texture on right edge is within normal parameters for this 1966 Topps issue. Back condition and corner sharpness under magnification remain unknown, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is off but within NM-EX-MT range. Corners appear reasonably intact with no obvious blunting visible at this resolution, though the lower corners are partially obscured by the bat logo device making precise assessment difficult. Surface gloss appears present with no obvious creases or heavy wear visible; color saturation looks good. Edge wear and corner sharpness cannot be fully confirmed from this single frontal photo at this resolution — back condition, true corner sharpness, and any hidden surface issues remain unknown, warranting a widened range.

Both front and back are shown, which is helpful. Front centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border modestly wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is decent but not tight enough for 8+. Corners on the front appear to have light rounding/wear visible at the lower-left and lower-right, consistent with EX-MT to NM range; upper corners look slightly sharper but not crisp enough for 7+. Surface gloss appears present with no obvious creases visible in this photo, though the scan resolution limits close-up corner assessment. Edges look reasonably clean with no miscut evident; rough cut texture is normal for this vintage issue and not penalized. The back shows minor toning consistent with age. Grade estimated at 6 (EX-MT) as the most likely outcome, with the range acknowledging uncertainty about corner wear and hidden surface flaws not fully resolvable from this image.

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly equal to right border (~50/50 L/R); top border appears slightly thinner than bottom, approximately 55/45 T/B — centering is acceptable and not an obvious grade killer. Corners show visible rounding at all four tips, most apparent at bottom-left and bottom-right, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Edges appear reasonably intact without major chipping though the cut texture is consistent with normal 1966 Topps rough cuts. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light handling wear; no obvious creases are detectable from this single photo though the image quality and angle prevent a definitive ruling on surface creases. The back is not visible, and corner wear is difficult to assess precisely at this resolution, so the range is widened accordingly — a VG-EX (4) point estimate reflects the visible corner rounding with no confirmed crease.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners: at this resolution the top-left and bottom-right corners show slight rounding consistent with light wear; no sharp razor corners evident. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible. Surface shows good color saturation and gloss appears largely intact with no obvious creases or staining visible from this angle; print quality looks solid with no heavy snow. The image resolution limits precise corner and edge assessment, widening the range — back cannot be evaluated. A raw EX-MT (6) is the most likely outcome barring hidden back damage or creases.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 65-70% left / 30-35% right), and top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 top-to-bottom) — left/right imbalance is the primary centering concern, likely 70/30 or worse L/R. Corners: all four show some rounding and soft wear visible even at this resolution; no corner appears sharp, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges appear reasonably intact with no obvious nicks or chips visible, consistent with the vintage rough-cut norm for this issue. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and some general wear but no creases are visible in this image; the back is not shown so hidden creases or staining cannot be ruled out, widening the range downward.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — not severely off but not tight either, consistent with a 5-6 range. Corners show light rounding visible on the lower-left and lower-right corners; upper corners appear slightly better but still showing mild wear — consistent with EX (5) rather than EX-MT (6). Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible at this resolution; the rough-cut texture typical of 1966 Topps Batman is present and not penalized. Surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases, staining, or print defects noted, which aligns with the seller's EX/EX+ self-assessment; back cannot be assessed from this photo, so a hidden crease or staining could push the grade lower.
