1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #6 Chloroform Victim — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (roughly 55/45 L/R), top border moderately wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. All four corners show light-to-moderate rounding; no corner is sharp enough to suggest NM or better, but none appears severely blunted either, consistent with EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible at this resolution, which is normal for the rough-cut 1966 Topps Batman stock. Surface gloss appears partially present with some light wear/gloss loss visible across the face; no creases are detectable in this image, though the single-angle photo cannot rule out subtle surface issues on the reverse or hidden low-angle creases. Overall the card presents as a solid EX (5) with a plausible range of VG-EX (4) to EX-MT (6) depending on back condition and corner sharpness under direct inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (approx 60/40 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a 6-7 range. Corners appear lightly worn with very slight rounding visible particularly on the lower-left corner; no razor-sharp corners evident but no severe rounding either. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible at this resolution; the rough-cut texture typical of 1966 Topps Batman is present and not penalized. Surface shows decent gloss retention with no obvious creases visible, though the seller title references a lot code ('18x4') rather than self-disclosed flaws; some very minor print grain is visible in the yellow background area consistent with normal vintage print snow. Back is not visible, limiting full assessment.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approx 60/40 L/R skew favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so, likely within 75/25 range overall. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding visible at all four corners, most notable at the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible at this resolution; rough cut texture is normal for this vintage set and not penalized. Surface shows some light gloss loss but no visible creases from this angle; the back is unavailable for inspection, which widens the range — a hidden crease or staining would pull this toward a 4 or lower. Overall impression is a solid EX (5) card, possibly EX-MT (6) if the back is clean and corners are better than they appear.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55-60% right-heavy), top border appears slightly thinner than bottom — roughly 60/40 L/R and 58/42 T/B, which is acceptable for NM-MT range but not tight enough for 8+. Corners: upper-left and upper-right show what appears to be very slight wear/softening but no aggressive rounding; lower corners are harder to assess at this resolution but look comparable — consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface: gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible; some minor print texture/snow typical of the set but nothing grade-damaging. Edges appear clean with no major chipping or roughness beyond normal vintage cut variation. Seller's '85' notation likely refers to an estimated NM grade on a 100-point scale, consistent with this visual assessment; back is not visible so hidden staining or creases could push the grade lower.

Centering estimate: Left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 right-heavy L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (roughly 55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so, likely grading in the EX-EX/MT range on that criterion alone. Corners: upper-left and lower-left corners show some rounding/wear visible even at this resolution; upper-right appears slightly better but not sharp; lower-right is partially obscured by the bat logo graphic. Surface appears to retain reasonable gloss with no obvious creases visible, and print quality looks typical for the set with no notable snow or staining on the yellow field. No miscut detected — borders are present on all four sides. Back is not visible, limiting confidence; the range reflects corner wear consistent with EX to EX-MT territory, with the left-side corners being the primary downside risk.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B), so centering is workable but not tight — consistent with EX to EX-MT range. Corners show some rounding visible even at this distance, particularly the lower-left and upper-left corners, suggesting wear in the EX to VG-EX range. Surface appears to retain moderate gloss with no obvious creases visible, and the image area looks clean without heavy print defects. Edges appear reasonably intact with typical vintage rough-cut texture normal for this set; the seller's '7sm' notation likely refers to size/series and does not self-disclose a crease, so no additional penalty applied for that.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approximately 65/35 T/B) - centering is off but not severely so, no miscut detected. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on at least two visible corners (lower-left and upper-left appear softer), consistent with EX range. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible in this image, though the photo angle makes it difficult to confirm surface integrity with certainty. White borders show mild toning/aging typical for the set but no heavy staining; edges appear reasonably clean given vintage rough-cut norms for this issue. The seller's 'EX' self-description aligns with this assessment; range is widened slightly downward to 4 to account for corner wear and centering that may be worse than the angle reveals.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-to-right), top border appears slightly narrower than bottom (approximately 60/40 top-to-bottom), so centering is off but not severely so. Corners appear to show mild rounding on at least two visible corners, consistent with light handling wear. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible in this photo, though the white border at top shows some toning/aging typical of this vintage set. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major chips or tears visible; rough cut texture is normal for this issue and not penalized. Back cannot be assessed from this single front image, which widens the range — a hidden crease or staining could push the grade down toward 4 or lower.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approx 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in the photo (lower-left and upper-left appear softer), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some general wear and toning typical of this 1966 issue; gloss appears moderately reduced but no obvious creases are visible from this single front image. The COMC watermark obscures part of the image making a definitive surface read difficult; back is unavailable, and corner closeups are not provided, so the range is widened to account for hidden flaws.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) - centering is reasonably close and not a major deduction. Corners: the visible corners show some rounding, particularly the lower-left and lower-right corners appear softened but not heavily blunted - consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges appear relatively clean with no obvious major nicks visible. Surface shows decent gloss retention with no obvious creases visible in the image, though the CoMC watermark obscures the center field and prevents confident assessment of surface wear or print defects; the card scans with good color saturation suggesting reasonable gloss. The rough-cut edge texture typical of 1966 Topps Batman is noted and not penalized. Without a clean corner closeup and with the watermark obscuring center surface, the range is widened accordingly.
