1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #52 Winged Giant — Raw

Centering estimate: left border ~20%, right border ~80% — card runs noticeably left-heavy left-to-right, approximating 75/25 or worse L/R; top/bottom appears closer, roughly 55/45, so centering is the primary concern and alone pushes the grade down from what the surface might otherwise support. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in frame (lower-left and upper-left appear softer), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows scattered print wear, light toning/soiling patches particularly in the lower center and lower-right quadrant, and some gloss loss consistent with age — no creases are visible, which aligns with the seller's claim. Edges appear reasonably intact given the vintage rough-cut norm for this issue, but the poor left-right centering and corner rounding make a clean EX (5) the optimistic ceiling here, with VG-EX (4) being the most likely outcome; VG (3) is possible if corner rounding is more pronounced than the photo reveals.

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T-B) — within EX-MT range on that axis but the left-right imbalance is notable. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-left appear most worn), consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges look reasonably clean with no obvious major chips; rough cut texture is normal for this issue. Surface gloss appears moderate with some loss visible — no obvious creases detected in this image, but the back is unseen and the scan resolution limits fine-detail corner assessment. The absence of visible creases and relatively clean surface suggest EX (5) as the point estimate, with the corner rounding and off-centering preventing a push toward EX-MT (6).

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 quite good for the issue. Corners: upper-left and lower-left corners appear reasonably sharp; upper-right corner shows a hint of softening; lower-right is partially obscured but looks intact — no obvious rounding but mild wear likely present on at least one corner. Edges appear clean with no visible notching or rough handling beyond normal vintage cut texture. Surface shows good gloss retention with no obvious creases, scratches, or print defects visible from this angle; some minor print snow typical of the issue may be present. Back is unexaminable from this photo, and corner sharpness cannot be fully confirmed, widening the range; a grade of 6 EX-MT is the most likely outcome if corners hold up under closer inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 60/40 L/R), top border appears modestly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for EX range. Corners: the camera angle and resolution make precise corner assessment difficult, but all four corners appear to have at least light rounding/softening, with no sharp points visible — consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears present but muted; some toning or wear on the white borders is visible, and the card shows typical age-related gloss reduction for a 55+ year-old card. No creases are visible in this photo, though the image angle and resolution cannot fully rule out a light surface crease; edges look reasonably clean with no obvious tears or notching. The photo angle and lack of corner close-ups prevent a tighter range — buyer should examine corners and back carefully before submitting.

Centering: left border appears roughly 10-12% wider than right border (~55/45 L/R acceptable), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B), overall centering is not a primary concern. Corners: seller discloses edge and corner wear, and the photo supports this — all four corners show visible rounding/wear, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range; no corner is sharp. Edges: moderate chipping and wear visible along multiple edges, consistent with the disclosed 'edge wear'; no clean knife-cut edges remain. Surface: gloss appears partially intact with some loss evident; no creases are clearly visible in this photo, though the COMC watermark partially obscures the center — a crease cannot be fully ruled out. The absence of an obvious crease and moderate (not severe) corner rounding keeps this out of VG (3) territory, but the cumulative wear across all corners and edges prevents a grade above EX (5); VG-EX (4) is the most likely single grade.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border visibly narrower than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is workable, likely within EX-MT range. Corners appear reasonably sharp with minor wear suggested at two or three corners, consistent with light rounding but no obvious blunting visible at scan resolution. Edges look clean with the normal rough-cut texture expected of 1966 Topps Batman — no flagging or tears evident. Surface shows good color saturation and apparent gloss retention with no visible creases or staining, though the CoMC watermark obscures the center of the card and limits surface defect assessment. A conservative EX-MT (6) point estimate reflects apparent mid-grade condition; without a clean unobstructed scan and corner closeups, grades of 5 or 7 remain plausible.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners appear to show light rounding on the visible lower-left and lower-right, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; upper corners are partially obscured by holder/glare but suggest similar light wear. Surface shows no obvious creases from this view, gloss appears reasonably intact though the image resolution and watermark limit assessment. Edges look consistent with a rough-cut vintage 1966 Topps card, which is normal for the issue and not penalized. The COM watermark and sleeve reflections prevent confident assessment of fine surface details; range widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonable and not a significant grade penalty. Corners: at this resolution all four corners appear to show light rounding consistent with moderate use; no sharp points are visible, placing this in the EX to VG-EX range. Surface: the artwork area shows no visible creases or staining; gloss appears present but modest gloss loss is plausible given the card's age. Edges: appear reasonably clean with no major nicks visible, consistent with the seller's EX claim; the back cannot be assessed and could reveal a crease or staining that would push the grade down, hence the floor of 4.

Centering estimate: left border ~10%, right border ~15%, top border ~12%, bottom border ~13% — left/right roughly 60/40 to 65/35, top/bottom close to 50/50, acceptable centering in the EX-EX+ range. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on all four, consistent with EX (PSA 5) wear; no corners appear sharp enough for EX-MT or above. Surface gloss appears decent with some tonal variation on the white border suggesting mild aging/gloss loss but no obvious creases visible in this photo. Seller's 'EX to EX+' self-assessment aligns well with what the photo shows; without a back scan and corner macro shots, the range must span VG-EX to EX-MT (4–6), with PSA 5 EX as the most probable single grade.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable and not a grade driver here. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in this scan, consistent with the seller's EX range claim; no corners appear razor-sharp but none appear severely worn either. Surface gloss appears intact with reasonable sheen remaining and no obvious creases are visible in this image, which is consistent with the seller's self-disclosed grade of EX but no crease disclosure. Edges appear reasonably clean with normal rough-cut texture expected for the 1966 Topps Batman set. The seller's self-disclosed grade of EX (3) likely refers to the traditional card grading scale rather than PSA, placing this in the PSA 4 VG-EX to PSA 5 EX range; without corner closeups and a back scan, a range of 3–5 is honest, with 4 as the most likely point estimate.

Centering: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approx 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders appear more even (approx 55/45 T/B), so horizontal centering is a concern. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding — not sharp — consistent with a VG to VG-EX range; upper-right and lower-right appear the most worn. Surface: there is a visible diagonal crease or fold line running through the upper-center portion of the card face (near the moon area), which is a significant grade-limiting defect pushing toward VG or lower; gloss appears partially intact but reduced. Edges appear reasonably clean for a 1966 Topps issue, though the rough cut texture typical of the set is present and not penalized; the crease is the dominant defect here and lands this card solidly in the VG (3) neighborhood, with VG-EX (4) possible only if the surface mark is a scan artifact rather than a true crease.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65-70% left bias), top border slightly wider than bottom, approximately 70/30 L-R and 60/40 T-B — moderate to significant off-centering. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in the photo (lower-left and lower-right), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some loss of gloss and what appears to be light soiling or wear across the image area; no obvious hard creases are visible in this photo though the card has a slightly wavy/stressed look. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major nicks visible, which is typical for this rough-cut 1966 Topps issue. The combination of corner rounding and off-centering pulls this toward the 4 VG-EX range, with the lower bound accounting for any hidden creases on the back.
