1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #5 Roof Top Vigil — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (approx 60/40 L/R), top border appears slightly narrower than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) - within acceptable NM-MT range horizontally, reasonable vertically. Corners appear to show very light to mild rounding on the visible corners, consistent with EX-MT to NM range; no sharp razor corners are evident but no severe rounding either. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with good color saturation and no obvious creases visible in this photo. Edges appear clean with no significant chipping; vintage rough-cut texture noted on left edge which is normal for this issue and not penalized. Back condition unknown and could affect final grade; range widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60-65% right-heavy), top border appears slightly wider than bottom, approximating left/right ~35/65 and top/bottom ~55/45 - this is notably off-center horizontally and would likely be flagged. Corners show visible light rounding on all four, consistent with an EX to VG-EX range; no sharp points are evident but no severe blunting either. Surface appears to retain moderate gloss with no obvious creases visible, and the colors present cleanly with minor print grain typical of the 1966 Topps Batman series. Edges look reasonably clean for a vintage rough-cut issue with no tears or major nicks obvious, but the off-centering is the primary grade limiter here, keeping the ceiling at EX (5) unless centering reads better in hand.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 left-right favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approximately 55/45 top-bottom) - centering is off but not severely so, no miscut evident. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding, particularly visible on the lower-left corner which appears softer than the others, consistent with a PSA 5 EX range. Surface appears to retain reasonable gloss with no obvious creases visible in this image, though fine print snow/speckling typical of the set is present. Edges look fairly clean with the rough-cut texture normal for this vintage Topps issue; the back is not visible so hidden creases or staining cannot be ruled out, widening the range slightly downward.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right border, roughly 70/30 to 75/25 L/R; top and bottom borders appear more balanced at approximately 55/45 T/B — centering is off but not miscut territory. The seller title includes 'READ' which often signals disclosed flaws; the note at the bottom explicitly states 'corner wear,' which is visible — corners appear rounded with at least moderate wear, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact but the COMC watermark makes definitive surface assessment difficult; no obvious creases are visible from this angle. The card identity is confirmed as Black Bat #5, and the image is clear enough to assess the front, though back condition and precise corner/edge detail are not fully resolvable from this single image.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~60-65% left bias), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), giving approximate L/R ~65/35 and T/B ~55/45 - off-center but not severely miscut, no adjacent card printing visible. Corners show visible rounding on at least the visible upper-right and lower-right corners, consistent with VG-EX to EX range; the upper-left corner is partially obscured by perspective but appears similarly rounded. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be minor scuffing or print wear across the image area, with the aged/toned white border typical of this set. No obvious hard creases are visible from this photo, but the moderate corner rounding and surface wear, combined with the off-centering, most likely lands this card in the VG-EX (4) range, with EX (5) possible if corners are slightly better than they appear and no back-side issues exist.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left bias L/R), top border appears slightly larger than bottom (~55/45 T/B) - centering is within EX-MT to NM range, no miscut detected. Corners appear to have light rounding on visible corners (lower-left most apparent), consistent with EX to EX-MT wear. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible, though the watermark partially obscures the center-lower region. Edges appear clean with normal vintage roughness expected for 1966 Topps. Without a back scan and unobstructed corner closeups, a range of 5-7 is appropriate; the single most likely grade is 6 (EX-MT) given the light corner wear and decent surface presentation.

Centering estimate: left border appears approximately 15-18% wider than right border (roughly 70/30 L/R), top border slightly tighter than bottom (approximately 60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding, particularly visible on the lower-left and upper-left corners, consistent with a 5 EX range; no corners appear sharp. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with some minor print texture typical of the 1966 Topps Batman issue; no obvious creases are visible from this photo, though the back is unexamined. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major nicks detected, but the rough-cut texture normal for this set is present. Without a corner macro or back view, a range of 4–6 is appropriate — a crease on the back or more pronounced corner wear could push this toward a 4 VG-EX.
