1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #49 Decoy

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — left-to-right off-centering is the primary concern. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding, most apparent at the top-left and bottom-left, consistent with a VG to VG-EX range; no sharp corners remain. Edges: some roughness and light chipping visible along the left edge; top edge shows wear consistent with handling. Surface: gloss loss is evident across the card face, with some toning visible in the white border areas at top; no creases are clearly visible from this photo though one cannot be definitively ruled out given the surface wear pattern. The card falls most naturally into PSA 3 VG territory given the rounded corners, gloss loss, and off-centering, with PSA 4 possible only if corners are slightly better than they appear and no hidden creases exist on the back.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so, likely within PSA EX range. Corners cannot be assessed with high precision due to focus softness, but the top-left and bottom-left corners appear to show some rounding or wear; top-right and bottom-right look marginally better. Surface gloss appears present but the image resolution does not allow confident detection of surface creases or print snow — some toning on borders is possible but not confirmed. White borders appear intact without obvious staining visible. Given the focus limitations hiding corner and surface detail, the range is widened: a clean example could reach EX-MT (6), while light corner wear or a soft surface crease would pull it to VG-EX (4).

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (roughly 55/45 L/R), top border appears moderately wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable for EX range. Corners: upper-left and lower-right corners show the most visible wear with light rounding; upper-right appears slightly better; lower-left is partially obscured by the card's curl/shadow but suggests similar light rounding — consistent with EX to EX-MT range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible from this angle, though the card shows a noticeable bow/curl which is common for the set but may indicate storage stress. Edges appear clean with no rough cuts beyond normal 1966 Topps production standards; no staining or print defects noted, though print snow typical of the era may be present at closer inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55% right-heavy), top border appears slightly narrower than bottom (~55% bottom-heavy), roughly 60/40 L/R and 58/42 T/B - centering is acceptable for a 5-6 range and not a grade-limiting factor. Corners: the visible corners show light-to-moderate rounding consistent with EX (PSA 5) grade; no sharp points are evident but no severe blunting either. Surface: gloss appears reasonably intact with no visible creases from this angle, though the sleeve obscures some surface detail particularly along edges. Edges: appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible; the seller's self-described EX grade aligns well with the photographic evidence, suggesting a PSA 5 point estimate with a 4-6 range accounting for hidden back condition and corner detail not fully resolvable through the sleeve.
