Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 65-70% left / 30-35% right L/R), top and bottom appear more balanced at approximately 55/45 T/B — centering is a meaningful concern on the horizontal axis. Corners: the visible corners show some rounding and softness, particularly at the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with EX to VG-EX range wear. Surface gloss appears moderately intact with no obvious creases visible from this angle, though the lower-center area has a slight shadow/glare that obscures a small region. Edges look reasonably clean for the vintage with no dramatic fraying noted; rough cut texture is normal for this issue and not penalized. Overall the card presents in the EX to EX-MT range, with off-center horizontal alignment being the primary grade limiter; a back inspection and corner closeups would be needed to confirm.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border visibly wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) - centering is passable but not tight. Corners show clear rounding on all four, most notably the bottom corners, consistent with a well-handled card. Surface shows a visible diagonal crease running across the lower-left quadrant of the card, which is the dominant grade-killer here; the seller's 'Used' disclosure aligns with this observation. Gloss is noticeably reduced with some surface wear and minor soiling visible near the bottom edge. Print quality appears intact with good color, no paper loss or tears observed, but the crease and rounded corners firmly place this in the VG (3) range, with VG-EX (4) being optimistic if the crease is shallower than it appears under the sleeve glare.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~60-65% left vs ~35-40% right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) - centering is off but not catastrophically so for this series. The upper-right corner shows a distinct notch or chunk missing, which is a significant physical defect consistent with a 2-3 grade ceiling on its own. Surface shows visible wear, scuffing, and creasing consistent with a VG (3) card at best; gloss appears largely gone. Edges show some roughness but rough cuts are normal for this 1966 Topps issue. The missing corner chip is the dominant defect here, dragging the grade to the VG-GOOD range despite the card being generally intact; absent that damage this might reach VG-EX.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B), placing centering in the EX to EX-MT range. Corners show mild-to-moderate rounding on all four — the upper-left and lower-right corners appear softer than the upper-right, consistent with a grade of 4-5. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible, though some light print texture is present which is normal for this issue. Edges look clean with no major nicks observed; back is not visible so hidden defects (staining, creases, writing) cannot be ruled out, warranting a conservatively widened range.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (approx 65/35 T/B) — acceptable for the grade range but not tight enough for 7+. Corners appear to show light rounding on at least two corners visible from this angle, consistent with EX (5) range rather than EX-MT (6). Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible, and the image registers cleanly with no severe print defects noted beyond typical 1966 Topps print snow. The white border shows some toning/aging which is normal for this set and not penalized heavily; without a back scan and corner close-ups, a range of 4–6 is appropriate with 5 EX as the most likely single grade.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~60-65% left bias), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — left/right ratio roughly 65/35, placing it at the outer edge of EX-MT tolerance horizontally. All four corners show visible rounding/softening, consistent with VG-EX to EX wear; no corner is sharp. Surface gloss appears moderate with some loss visible, particularly in the lower portion of the card. No creases are apparent in this image, but the seller's title description of 'VGEX' aligns with the corner wear observed. Back condition is unknown, and corner detail is limited at this resolution, so the range is widened accordingly — a light crease on the back would push this to a 3.

Centering: left border ~8mm, right border ~5mm, top border ~5mm, bottom border ~6mm — yielding approximately 62/38 L/R and 55/45 T/B; left-heavy bias is the primary centering concern. Seller notes 'edge wear' and 'corner wear,' both of which are visible in the photo: corners show rounding/softening, most notably on the lower-left and upper-left, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Edges show light fraying/wear consistent with the seller's disclosure. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some loss evident; no creases are clearly visible in this single front image, but the back is unexamined. This is a raw card with honest seller-disclosed wear; the likely grade sits at PSA 4 (VG-EX), with EX (5) possible if corner wear is lighter than it appears and no back defects exist, and VG (3) possible if any crease or heavier surface wear is present on the back.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B), so centering is acceptable but not tight - consistent with EX to EX-MT range. Corners show light to moderate rounding visible at all four corners, particularly the lower-left and upper-right, suggesting wear consistent with EX (5) rather than EX-MT (6). Surface gloss appears present but slightly reduced; no creases are visible in this image though the photo angle and CGC watermark make definitive surface assessment difficult. Edges appear intact with no major nicks - rough cut texture is normal for this set and not penalized. Back is not visible, limiting confidence; range widened accordingly to account for possible hidden reverse-side wear or staining.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65-70% left bias), top border slightly wider than bottom, roughly 65/35 L/R and 60/40 T/B - centering is off but not severely miscut. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most notably the upper-left and lower-left, consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows general gloss loss and what appears to be light handling wear; there is a possible very light crease or surface fold in the upper portion of the card near Batman's head area, though the CGC watermark partially obscures this zone making definitive assessment difficult. Edges appear reasonably clean with typical rough-cut texture normal for this 1966 Topps issue; no obvious staining or paper loss visible, but the back is unseen and the watermark obstruction prevents full surface confidence.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably thinner than bottom (~60/40 T/B) - centering is acceptable but not tight. Corner inspection reveals visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-right most apparent), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and light wear; there appears to be a faint diagonal mark or light crease in the upper-center area of the card face near the moon, which if confirmed as a crease would push toward VG (3) territory. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major notching visible, consistent with vintage handling wear. The image is a single flat scan with good lighting, but no corner closeups are available and the potential surface crease cannot be definitively confirmed from this photo alone - widening the range accordingly.
