1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #46 The Bat-a-Rang — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left bias), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is moderate, roughly 60/40 L/R, within EX-MT range but leaning toward EX. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding under even casual inspection at this resolution — upper right and lower left appear softer than the other two, suggesting light-to-moderate corner wear consistent with EX to VG-EX. Edges appear relatively clean with no obvious nicks visible, consistent with typical rough-cut 1966 Topps stock (not penalized). Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with some light print snow visible in the orange background areas, which is typical and normal for this issue; no creases or staining are apparent from the front, though the back cannot be assessed. Overall the card presents as a solid EX (5) with the possibility of EX-MT (6) if corners are sharper than they appear through the top-loader, or VG-EX (4) if there is any undetected surface wear or light crease on the reverse.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~60-65% left), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55% top), so roughly 65/35 L-R and 55/45 T-B — acceptable top-bottom but left-right shift is moderate. The seller's title notes '15wb' which likely references white border toning, and light toning/yellowing on the white borders is visible and consistent with the age of the card. Corners appear to show light-to-moderate rounding, particularly on the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows no obvious creases from this angle but gloss appears reduced; print quality is typical for the issue with no alarming snow or defects visible. Back is not shown, and corner closeups are unavailable, which prevents tightening the range further — a crease on the reverse or more severe corner rounding could push this toward a 3.

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly equal to right (approximately 50/50 L/R); top border slightly narrower than bottom, perhaps 55/45 T/B — centering itself is not the primary concern here. The card surface shows significant and widespread creasing across the entire face — multiple deep diagonal creases running across the Batman figure and background are clearly visible, which is the dominant grade-killer. Corners appear rounded and softened, consistent with heavy handling. Gloss loss is evident across the surface and the card stock looks compressed/fatigued in multiple areas. This is a well-loved card that would qualify for a PSA 1–3 range; a single most-likely grade of 2 (GOOD) reflects the multiple visible creases and overall heavy wear, though a 1 (PR-FR) is possible if the creases penetrate the stock more deeply than the photo reveals.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not dramatically so, likely within VG-EX range. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible from this angle (lower-left and upper-left most evident), consistent with a 4 or low 5. Surface shows some wear and a possible light handling crease or surface scuff in the lower-left quadrant of the artwork area; gloss appears partially present but diminished. Edges look reasonably intact with normal vintage rough-cut texture expected for this issue. The watermark obscures center surface detail, making crease and print defect assessment uncertain — widening the range accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-to-right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 top-to-bottom) — centering is off but not severely so. Corners show visible rounding, particularly the upper-left and lower-left, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; the upper-right appears slightly better. Surface shows some wear and gloss loss across the image area, and there is a faint dark scuff or surface mark visible near the lower-center of the card. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious rough tears beyond normal vintage cut texture for this set. No creases are visible from this photo, but the back cannot be assessed and a hidden crease would push the grade toward VG-EX or lower.

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly 10-12% of card width, right border roughly 8-10%, giving left/right approximately 55/45 to 60/40 — acceptable. Top border appears slightly wider (~15%) than bottom (~10%), giving top/bottom roughly 60/40 — also within tolerable range. Corners: all four corners show some rounding or softening, most visible at bottom-left and top-left, consistent with light to moderate handling wear — ruling out grades above 6. Surface shows modest gloss loss but no obvious creases or staining visible from this photo; the red background makes print snow difficult to detect. Edges appear reasonably clean with the rough-cut texture normal for this 1966 Topps issue; no miscut evident. A grade of 5 EX seems most likely, with 4 VG-EX possible if corner rounding is more pronounced than it appears, and 6 EX-MT possible if corners prove sharper under direct inspection.

Centering estimate: left border ~10%, right border ~15%, top border ~12%, bottom border ~8% — reads approximately 60/40 L/R and 60/40 T/B, slightly bottom-heavy and left-heavy but within NM-MT range. Corners appear reasonably sharp with possible very light wear on the lower-left and upper-right corners, but resolution limits definitive corner assessment. Surface presents with decent gloss and clean artwork; no visible creases, staining, or print defects beyond normal 1966 Topps print texture. Edges look clean with no significant chipping; rough-cut texture typical of the series is present but not penalized. Back and corner closeups are unavailable, so the range is widened to account for hidden wear.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~40% left / 60% right), top border appears slightly narrower than bottom (~45% top / 55% bottom) — left-to-right off-center is the more notable axis, consistent with EX-range centering around 75/25 L/R which would cap near EX (5). Corners appear to show light rounding at all four points, most visible at upper-left and lower-left, suggesting moderate wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface shows no obvious creases visible in this scan, and gloss appears reasonably intact though the watermark and image resolution make a definitive surface call difficult. Edges appear clean with no chips or tears noted; rough cut texture is normal for this 1966 Topps issue and has not been penalized.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right border, suggesting approximately 70/30 left-right off-center; top/bottom borders appear closer to 55/45 — the seller's own 'OC' disclosure aligns with what is visible and must be taken seriously, likely capping this card at PSA 5 or below regardless of other qualities. Corner detail is obscured by the snap case angle and glare, but the two visible corners (lower-left and lower-right) show what appears to be light rounding consistent with EX to EX-MT range. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases visible (consistent with seller's 'NO CREASE' claim), and the red-background print shows no obvious snow or major defects from this view. The OC condition combined with apparent light corner wear and inability to fully assess edges/surface from this angle places the most likely grade at PSA 5 (EX), with the range spanning VG-EX (4) to EX-MT (6) depending on what closer inspection of corners and edges would reveal.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-to-right), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 top-to-bottom) — centering is off but not severely so. Corners: upper-left appears the strongest; upper-right and lower-left show visible rounding/wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range; lower-right is partially obscured by the bat logo but appears lightly worn. Surface: gloss appears partially intact with some dulling visible — no obvious creases detected from this angle, though the photo cannot confirm the reverse or edges fully. Edges appear reasonably clean with typical 1966 Topps rough-cut texture that is set-normal and should not be penalized. Overall the card presents as a solid EX (5) candidate, with the range widened to account for hidden corner/edge detail and the possibility of unseen back-side issues.

Centering estimate: left border ~10%, right border ~15%, top border ~8%, bottom border ~12% — reads roughly 60/40 left-right and 60/40 top-bottom, which would be acceptable, but the more pressing issues are surface and corner wear. All four corners show visible rounding, with the top-left and bottom-left corners appearing the most worn; no sharp points are evident on any corner. The white borders display noticeable toning/yellowing and surface scuffing consistent with decades of handling, and there is evident gloss loss across the face of the card. No visible creases are confirmed in this photo, but the surface texture and wear pattern suggest at minimum a VG (3) grade, with the rounded corners and gloss loss being the primary grade-limiters; if a light crease is present on the back (not visible here), the grade could slip to a 2.

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 passable but off. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding — not sharp, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; lower-left corner appears the most worn. Edges appear reasonably intact with the rough-cut texture normal for this 1966 Topps issue. Surface shows light handling wear and possible minor gloss loss in the mid-card area, but no obvious creases are clearly visible in this photo; a crease cannot be ruled out from a single seller image. Overall condition reads like a solid EX (5) to EX-MT (6) candidate, with the corner rounding and centering keeping a higher grade unlikely.
