1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #6 Chloroform Victim — Raw

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears somewhat tighter than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable for EX-MT range. Corners: all four corners appear reasonably sharp with only very minor softening visible at the tips; no obvious blunting or rounding that would push below EX grade. Edges: cuts appear typical for 1966 Topps rough-cut production; no flagrant chipping or tears visible. Surface: gloss appears intact and reasonably strong across the image area; no creases are visible consistent with seller's claim, and no significant print snow or toning on the white border is apparent from this photo, though the single-angle shot limits assessment of surface wear and the back is unseen. Overall the card presents cleanly but without the razor sharpness needed for NM or above.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border notably thinner than bottom (approx 60/40 T/B favoring bottom) — centering is within EX-MT range. Corners: all four corners are obscured by the case holder edges making precise assessment difficult, but what is visible on the top corners suggests they are fairly sharp with only light rounding, consistent with EX to EX-MT range. Surface shows good color saturation and apparent gloss retention under the case glare; no creases, staining, or print defects are detectable from this view. Edges appear clean with no obvious chipping; the rough-cut characteristic normal for this 1966 issue is not penalized. Back is not visible and corner tips cannot be fully confirmed through the case, which widens the range modestly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably narrower than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding, particularly the upper-left and lower-left, consistent with moderate handling wear; no corner is sharp enough for EX-MT or better. Edges: appear reasonably clean with normal vintage rough-cut texture for this Topps issue; no obvious nicks visible at this resolution. Surface: some gloss loss is evident across the face, consistent with age and handling; no creases are visible in this single-angle photo, though the back is unexamined and hidden creases cannot be ruled out — the absence of a confirmed crease prevents dropping below 3, but the rounded corners and gloss loss cap this firmly in the VG-EX to EX range (4–5).

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a VG-EX range card. Corners show visible rounding at all four tips, most evident at bottom-left and top-right, consistent with a VG-EX (4) to EX (5) presentation; no corner is sharp enough for EX-MT (6) consideration. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some loss visible across the image area, and there is slight toning on the yellow field typical of the 1966 Topps Batman issue. No obvious creases are visible from this angle, but the case obscures fine surface detail and the back is unavailable; a light handling crease cannot be ruled out, which would pull the grade toward VG (3). The seller's 'VG-EX' self-assessment aligns with the photographic evidence, placing the most likely grade at PSA 4.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable and does not cap the grade. No miscut evident. Corners appear lightly worn with very slight rounding visible, particularly at the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with a 6–7 range. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases or staining visible; print quality is typical for 1966 Topps with minor print artifacts that are set-normal. Back cannot be assessed from this image, and corner sharpness cannot be confirmed with full precision at this resolution, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably thinner than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — not severely off-center but top edge is tight. Corners show mild-to-moderate rounding on all four; no sharp points visible at this resolution, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling, no obvious creases visible from this angle though the seller's title suffix '7sm' may hint at minor surface issues. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chipping; rough cut texture is normal for this vintage Topps issue and not penalized. Back not visible, and corner detail is limited at this scan resolution — range widened accordingly.

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable and does not severely penalize. Corners: all four corners show light-to-moderate rounding consistent with handling wear; no sharp points visible, suggesting EX range rather than NM territory. Surface: color saturation looks decent with reasonable gloss remaining, no obvious creases detected in the image, though the photo cannot definitively rule out hairlines. Edges appear intact without major chipping; print quality is typical for the 1966 Topps Batman run with expected minor color variation — back condition and corner sharpness under magnification would be decisive for separating a 5 from a 6.

Both front and back are photographed flat with good resolution. Centering (front): left border appears approximately 10–12% wider than right, top border slightly wider than bottom — estimating roughly 60/40 L/R and 58/42 T/B, which is acceptable for the grade range considered. Corners appear to have light-to-moderate rounding on at least the visible lower corners; upper corners look relatively sharp but not razor-crisp, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Edges show the characteristic rough cut normal for 1966 Topps but no obvious nicks or tears visible. Surface gloss appears moderate with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects beyond typical vintage print snow; the back shows a clean pink surface with no evident writing or damage. Grade capped at 7 ceiling due to corner softness and the inability to assess the back corners and edges at high magnification from this photo.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners are difficult to assess precisely due to camera angle and perspective distortion; they appear to show mild rounding consistent with light handling wear, suggesting EX to VG-EX range rather than NM. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious major nicks visible, which is within normal parameters for this vintage rough-cut issue. Surface shows some gloss present but possible light wear; no creases are visible in this photo, though the angled single shot cannot rule out back-side or hidden surface issues — range is widened accordingly to reflect this uncertainty.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — acceptable for the grade range. Corners: upper-left and lower-left corners show visible rounding consistent with light-to-moderate wear; upper-right appears slightly better but still soft; no razor-sharp corners visible. Surface gloss appears moderate with some dulling evident across the card face, consistent with handling over time. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major nicks visible from this angle, though the rough-cut character typical of 1966 Topps is present; no creases are visible from this photo, which supports at least a grade of 5 EX, but corner rounding and gloss loss keep the ceiling near 6 EX-MT — back condition and tighter corner inspection could shift this range.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 80/20 L-R), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at approximately 65/35 T-B; centering is noticeably off horizontally, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range cap. Corners show visible rounding at all four corners, most pronounced at the lower-left and upper-left, which pushes toward VG-EX (4) rather than EX (5). Surface appears to have reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible from this photo, and print quality looks solid with typical vintage print characteristics for the black-bat series. Edges appear slightly rough but within normal tolerance for 1966 Topps rough-cut production; back and corner condition cannot be fully confirmed from this single front image, so the range is kept wide accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border ~10%, right border ~12%, top border ~10%, bottom border ~10% — centering appears close to 55/45 L/R and reasonably balanced T/B, no severe off-center concern. Corners: at this resolution the corners appear lightly worn with minimal rounding — consistent with EX-MT to NM range; no sharp PSA-9 razor points visible but no pronounced rounding either. Edges appear clean with the rough-cut texture normal for this 1966 Topps issue. Surface shows good color saturation with no visible creases corroborating the seller's claim; gloss appears present but some loss is possible under the sleeve glare. The sleeve/toploader limits corner and edge inspection precision, warranting a widened range; back is not visible.

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 tight and within NM-MT tolerances. Corners appear lightly worn with minor softening visible especially on the lower-left and upper-right corners, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Edges look clean with no obvious nicks from this angle; the cut appears slightly rough on the right edge but this is normal vintage production variance for 1966 Topps Batman and should not be penalized. Surface shows good gloss retention with no visible creases, staining, or print defects evident; some minor print texture is present consistent with the era. Back is not visible, limiting full assessment; the range is widened slightly to account for any hidden back-side issues.

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly equal to right border (approximately 50/50 L/R), top border appears slightly thinner than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) — centering is solid and not a grade-limiting issue. Corners: at this resolution through a sleeve, the corners appear reasonably sharp with at most very light wear; no obvious rounding visible but sleeve compression obscures fine corner detail. Edges appear clean with no visible nicks or tears; the rough-cut texture typical of 1966 Topps is present and not penalized. Surface: gloss appears intact with no visible creases confirmed from this angle, consistent with seller's 'no creases' claim; minor print characteristics (dot pattern, slight color registration) are normal for the issue. The sleeve/top-loader introduces glare that prevents definitive corner and surface assessment, widening the range — this card likely grades EX-MT (6) to NM (7) but a confirmed corner or surface flaw could push it to EX (5).
