1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #49 Decoy

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border moderately wider than bottom (~60% top) — roughly 60/40 L/R and 60/40 T/B, which is acceptable but not tight. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding visible at all four corners, most notably the lower-left and upper-right; consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with the rough-cut texture normal for this set and not penalized. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and some toning/aging on the borders typical for 60-year-old stock, but no creases or staining are visible in this image; the back is unseen and could reveal hidden flaws. Overall the card presents as a solid EX (5) candidate, with room to grade up to EX-MT (6) if corners and surface are cleaner in hand, or down to VG-EX (4) if back shows wear.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly thinner than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) - centering is serviceable but not tight, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Corners appear reasonably sharp at this resolution with no obvious heavy rounding, though the photo angle makes precise corner assessment difficult - at least two corners look clean with possible very light wear on the lower corners. Surface presents with good color saturation and apparent gloss retention; no visible creases or staining detected. Edges appear clean with no major chipping; vintage rough-cut texture noted on left edge which is normal for this set and not penalized. The photo angle and resolution prevent confident corner closeup assessment, warranting a widened range of 5-7 with a point estimate of 6 (EX-MT).

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border visibly narrower than bottom (~60/40 T/B) - centering is passable but not tight. The seller's own title includes 'READ' which typically signals disclosed flaws; the note at bottom confirms 'corner wear.' All four corners show visible rounding/wear consistent with moderate use - upper left and lower right appear most affected. Surface gloss appears partially retained with some dulling visible, no obvious creases are detectable from this photo but the COM-C watermark obscures portions of the surface making crease detection unreliable. Edges appear intact without significant chipping. The combination of disclosed corner wear, visible corner rounding, and the unknown surface condition hidden by the watermark places this conservatively in the VG to EX range (3-5), with VG-EX (4) as the most likely grade.

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) - left-to-right shift is the primary centering concern. Corners show mild-to-moderate rounding on the visible corners, particularly the lower-left and upper-left, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface appears to retain decent gloss with no obvious creases visible from this scan, and the white borders show typical vintage toning but no severe staining. Edges appear reasonably clean with normal vintage cut texture; no miscut detected. The back is not visible, limiting full assessment, and corner detail could be better resolved with a closer photograph.
