1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #50 Beastly Encounter

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top and bottom borders appear closer to 55/45 — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (bottom-left and bottom-right are the most accessible to assess), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with the rough-cut texture normal for this vintage Topps issue — no severe chipping noted. Surface shows some light toning/yellowing on the cream border areas typical of this 55+ year old issue, and there is minor gloss loss visible, but no obvious creases or staining are detected in this photo; however, the back cannot be assessed and corner rounding limits the ceiling to EX (5) at best. The range of 3–5 reflects uncertainty about corner condition and any reverse-side issues not visible here.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonably balanced and does not appear to cap the grade. Corners show light to moderate rounding on all four, most visible at the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with an EX to VG-EX range. Surface appears clean with good color saturation and no obvious creases visible in this image, though the seller's '(2)' notation may suggest a flaw not visible at this resolution. Gloss appears intact with no major loss. The seller's EX/EX+ self-assessment aligns with what is visible; a PSA 5 (EX) is the most likely outcome, with 4 possible if corner rounding is more pronounced than this photo reveals or a hidden surface flaw exists.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (approximately 60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a 6-7 range. Corners appear reasonably sharp at this resolution with no obvious rounding visible on the two accessible corners (top-left, bottom-right), though corner detail is partially obscured by the sleeve/holder edge. Surface shows good gloss retention with no visible creases; print quality looks clean with vivid color consistent with a well-preserved example. The white border shows some light toning/aging typical for the 1966 Topps Batman issue which should not be penalized heavily; edges look clean without major chipping. Back cannot be assessed, and corner closeups are unavailable, so the range is kept deliberately wide to account for hidden wear.

Centering estimate: left border approximately 10-12%, right border approximately 88-90% — card reads moderately left-heavy L/R; top border slightly wider than bottom, roughly 55/45 T/B — centering is off but not extreme. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most notably the lower-right and upper-left, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling visible, no obvious creases are detectable from this scan, which aligns with the seller's VG/EX self-assessment and pushes away from VG (3). Edges show the expected rough-cut texture normal for 1966 Topps Batman and should not be penalized; no staining or writing visible, but back is unseen and corners cannot be fully confirmed at this resolution, widening the range slightly downward to 3.
