Index grading notes

Centering estimate (approximate due to glare and angle): Left border appears noticeably wider than right, top border slightly wider than bottom — rough L/R ratio ~65/35 and T/B ~55/45, suggesting moderate left-to-right miscentering but not catastrophic. Corners are difficult to assess precisely through the top-loader and glare, but the lower-left corner visible near the Batman logo shows some rounding, suggesting at minimum light wear; upper corners are obscured by glare. Surface appears to retain reasonable color saturation with no obvious creases visible in this image, though the white border areas show what appears to be some toning or light edge wear consistent with a card of this age. The seller's '#9' claim in the title is almost certainly optimistic given the corner rounding visible and centering issues — a raw estimate of VG-EX (PSA 4) to EX-MT (PSA 6) seems most realistic, but the single front-only photo through a top-loader makes confident assessment impossible; back condition and corner closeups are needed to tighten this range.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right side), top and bottom borders look relatively balanced at approximately 55/45 T-B — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners appear to show very light wear with no obvious rounding visible at this resolution, though the bottom corners are partially obscured by the holder edge. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases or staining visible; print quality looks clean for the set with good color saturation. The card cannot be definitively pushed above 7 without corner closeups and back inspection, and the mild off-centering likely keeps it from the NM-MT range; EX-MT (6) is the most probable single grade.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approximately 55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (approximately 65/35 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so, likely within EX-MT range. Corners appear reasonably intact with minimal rounding visible at this resolution, no obvious blunting but fine corner tips are difficult to confirm definitively. Surface shows good color saturation and apparent gloss retention with no visible creases or major print defects; some minor print texture/snow typical of the set is possible but not clearly seen. Edges look clean with no major chips or tears; the rough-cut edge texture normal for this 1966 Topps issue is present and should not be penalized. Back condition is unknown, which widens the range — a back flaw or hidden surface wear could push this toward a 5.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border noticeably thinner than bottom (approx 65/35 T/B) — acceptable for vintage but not tight. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most notably the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with light-to-moderate handling wear placing this in the VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some scattered gloss loss visible, and there is mild toning on the white borders typical of this 1966 issue. No creases are definitively visible in this scan, though the seller's title does not self-disclose any crease either; if the back is clean and no hidden crease exists, a PSA 4 VG-EX is the most likely outcome, with EX (5) possible if corners are better than they appear at this resolution.
