1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #6 Chloroform Victim

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 not a major grade penalty. Corners at this resolution appear to have light wear with minor rounding visible on at least two corners (upper-left and lower-left show slight softening), consistent with EX-MT range. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases visible from this angle, though the photo cannot confirm the back. Edges show the typical rough-cut texture normal for this 1966 Topps issue and should not be over-penalized; no major chipping or tears are apparent. The seller's notation 'hg6' likely references an internal grading estimate of 6, which aligns with my assessment — EX-MT range is most probable, with NM possible if corners hold up under closer inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at approximately 55/45 T-B — centering is acceptable for EX range but not NM territory. Corners: through the sleeve the corners appear to show light rounding on at least two corners (likely lower-left and upper-left), consistent with EX (5) rather than EX-MT (6); no sharp gem corners visible. Surface: gloss appears present but sleeve glare prevents confident assessment of surface scratches or print defects; no obvious creases visible from this photo, which is consistent with the seller's EX claim (no self-disclosed crease). Edges: appear reasonably clean with no major chipping; rough cut texture is normal for this issue and not penalized. The sleeve prevents definitive corner and surface reads, warranting a widened range of 4–6 with a point estimate of 5 (EX).

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 — not catastrophic but off; centering alone would not cap the grade severely. The more significant issues are visible corner wear: all four corners show rounding and fraying, with the lower-left and upper-left corners showing the most pronounced softening. Edges appear rough but this is consistent with normal 1966 Topps production cuts and should not be over-penalized. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and what appears to be light wrinkling or handling wear across the card face, consistent with a VG (3) grade; no obvious hard creases are confirmed from this angle but surface texture irregularities are present. The back is not visible, so any hidden creases or staining cannot be assessed — range is widened accordingly.

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).
