1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #47 Deadly Robot — Raw

Centering estimate: left border notably wider than right (~65/35 L-R), top and bottom borders appear roughly even (~55/45 T-B), so left-right bias is the primary centering concern but not catastrophically off. All four corners show visible rounding/wear — none are sharp, with the lower-left and upper-left corners appearing the most worn, consistent with a VG-EX range card. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling visible, no creases are evident from this angle though the back cannot be assessed. Edges appear reasonably clean with the rough cut typical of the 1966 Topps Batman issue, which should not be penalized; the overall card presents as a well-loved mid-grade copy, most likely landing at PSA 4 VG-EX with a crease-free back potentially pushing it toward 5 EX.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border modestly wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a 6-7 range. Corners appear reasonably sharp from this distance with no obvious rounding visible on any of the four corners, though the scan resolution limits precise corner assessment. Edges appear clean with no visible nicks or tears; the rough-cut texture typical of 1966 Topps is present and not penalized. Surface gloss appears good with no visible creases, staining, or significant print defects — some minor print speckling is consistent with the set's known characteristics. Without corner closeups or a back view this range could shift; a strong EX-MT (6) is the most defensible single estimate.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T-B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so for vintage. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in frame (upper left and lower left appear softened), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some toning/aging consistent with the era and there appear to be light handling marks or minor gloss loss, but no obvious hard crease is detectable from this photo — the seller's '7sm' notation may indicate 'slight marks' rather than a crease, which aligns with what is visible. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major chipping; rough cut texture is normal for this issue and not penalized. Back and corner closeups unavailable, so the range is widened accordingly; hidden creasing could push this toward a 3.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corner wear is visible at multiple corners with evident rounding, most notably at the lower-left and upper-left, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some toning/aging consistent with a 57-year-old card and there appears to be minor gloss loss across the face, though no obvious hard crease is visible from this angle. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chips, though the rough-cut texture normal for 1966 Topps is present; the back cannot be assessed and may harbor hidden creases or staining that would pull the grade toward the low end of this range.

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly 10-12% wider than right border (approximately 60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners: upper-left and lower-left corners show visible rounding/wear; upper-right and lower-right appear slightly better but still show light blunting — consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface: the COMC watermark obscures the center, making definitive surface assessment difficult, but no obvious creases or major staining are visible; some light toning on white borders is noted, typical for the vintage. Edges appear reasonably clean with the rough cut texture normal for this 1966 issue; overall condition points to a PSA 5 EX as the most likely grade, with 4 possible if corner rounding is more pronounced than it appears.

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 left-right favoring right), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at approximately 55/45 — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-left appear softer), consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and the CoMC watermark obscures central surface evaluation; minor print defects typical of this 1966 issue are expected. Edges appear reasonably clean with no dramatic fraying visible, though the cut appears slightly rough on the left — normal for this vintage issue and not penalized heavily. Back cannot be assessed; range widened accordingly to account for possible hidden creases or staining.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably narrower than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is passable but not tight. All four corners show visible rounding and wear, most pronounced at top-left and bottom-left, consistent with heavy handling. Surface shows significant scuffing, scratching, and what appears to be paper-fiber disruption across multiple areas — particularly notable in the center-left and lower regions of the card face; this surface wear is the primary grade-limiting factor. Edges are rough but within normal 1966 Topps rough-cut tolerance. No obvious creases are confirmed from this angle though the surface distress makes it difficult to rule out light creasing entirely; the back cannot be assessed. Card lands solidly in the VG (3) range with a floor of GOOD (2) if back-side creasing or staining is present.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) - centering is reasonably close and not a major grade-cap concern. Corners appear to have light wear with slight softening visible, particularly at upper left and lower right, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Edges appear clean with no obvious nicks or tears visible at this resolution. Surface shows good gloss retention with no visible creases; the COMC watermark obscures center surface detail making definitive surface assessment difficult. Print quality appears typical for the series. The 6-7 range reflects honest uncertainty about corner and surface condition hidden by the watermark and scan resolution.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65-70% left bias), top border slightly wider than bottom, roughly 65/35 L/R and 60/40 T/B — centering is off but not catastrophically so. The upper-left corner shows visible rounding and what appears to be a crease or fold line running diagonally across the upper portion of the card — this is the most damaging flaw visible. The right edge shows some wear and the surface has lost meaningful gloss with apparent handling marks and toning consistent with a well-used 58-year-old card. The white borders show age toning typical of this issue. If the diagonal line in the upper area is a true crease (which it strongly appears to be), the card is capped in the VG (3) range; clean corners with no crease would push toward VG-EX (4). Back cannot be assessed from this image.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B) — centering is off but within EX-MT range on the horizontal axis; vertical tilt toward bottom is more concerning. Corners: upper-left and lower-left corners show visible rounding/soft wear; upper-right appears somewhat better; lower-right is partially obscured but looks rounded — consistent with EX to VG-EX corner wear. Surface and edges: the card surface shows some gloss loss and possible light handling marks; the rough cut edges are characteristic of the 1966 Topps Batman issue and should not be heavily penalized. No creases are visible from this angle, but the back is unseen and could reveal additional defects. Overall impression is a solid EX (5) with a reasonable chance of EX-MT (6) if corners and surface are cleaner than they appear, or VG-EX (4) if the back shows a light crease.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears marginally narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for EX range. Corners: at this scan resolution the corners appear to show light rounding, consistent with EX (PSA 5) rather than EX-MT (6); no sharp points visible but no severe rounding either. Surface and gloss: the card face appears to retain reasonable gloss with no obvious creases visible in this image, consistent with seller's EX claim; no staining or major print defects noted beyond typical 1966 Topps print snow. Edges appear clean with no tears; however, without a back scan and corner macro shots, a range of 4–6 is warranted — a hidden crease or more significant corner rounding on the back corners could push this to VG-EX (4).

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top and bottom borders look relatively balanced (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding at all four tips, most pronounced at upper-left and lower-left, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light wear/handling marks; no obvious hard creases are visible in this image, though the card's slight warp/curl at the lower-left corner area warrants caution. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major chips, though the rough cut typical of this 1966 Topps issue is noted and not penalized. Back cannot be assessed, and corner and surface detail is limited from this angle, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 70/30 left-to-right), top and bottom borders appear roughly 60/40 top-heavy — centering is off but not catastrophically so. There is a visible diagonal crease/stress line running across the upper portion of the card (from upper-left area toward center-right), which is a significant surface defect and the primary grade-limiter here; this alone pushes the card below EX-MT territory. Corners show moderate rounding consistent with a VG-EX to EX range card — no sharp points visible but no severe fraying either. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some wear; no obvious staining or writing noted. The crease is the deciding factor capping this estimate around PSA 4 (VG-EX), with the low end at 3 (VG) if the crease is more pronounced than it appears in this single photo. Back not visible.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T-B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most pronounced at top-left and bottom-left, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Edges appear slightly rough but rough cuts are normal for this vintage issue. Surface shows some toning/aging to the white border area and light gloss reduction across the image, but no visible creases or staining in this photo — surface wear is moderate. The card photographs at roughly a 4 (VG-EX), with a possible stretch to 5 (EX) if corners are slightly better than they read in photo, and a floor of 3 (VG) if the back shows additional wear or a hidden crease; back cannot be assessed from this image.
