Index grading notes

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.

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 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 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.
