1966 Topps Batman Blue Bat #16B Penned by the Penguin — Raw

Centering estimate: Left border appears moderately wider than right (approximately 65/35 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most notably the lower-left and upper-left, consistent with a VG or lower grade. Surface displays evident wear lines and what appears to be light creasing or stress lines across the upper-left quadrant and lower portion of the card, consistent with the seller's VG/EX self-assessment leaning more toward VG. Gloss loss is apparent across much of the surface. The sleeve obscures fine corner detail, widening the range; the card could grade as low as 2 if creases are more severe than visible here, or reach a 4 if surface stress lines are shallower than they appear under scan compression.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 favoring top - not severely off-center but left-heavy. Corners appear rounded at all four points with visible wear, consistent with VG (PSA 3) range; no corners appear sharp. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light soiling or wear across the face, though the mounting/distance makes precise surface assessment difficult. No obvious hard creases are visible in this photo, but the seller's VG self-assessment aligns with the rounded corners and gloss loss observed; the range is widened downward to 2 to account for possible hidden creases or back-side issues not visible in this single front photo.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so for this series. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding under scrutiny; no sharp points remain, consistent with an EX to VG-EX range. Surface: gloss appears moderate with some dulling, no obvious creases detected from this view, print quality looks typical for the 1966 Topps run with minor print texture. Edges: cuts appear within normal rough-cut tolerance for this set. The plastic case creates edge glare that obscures fine corner and edge detail, widening the range; back is not visible so no hidden stains or creases can be ruled out.

Centering estimate: Left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65-70% left / 30-35% right), and top appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — left-right centering is problematic, likely in the 70/30 or worse range. Corners: At least one visible crease/fold line is detectable on the lower-left area of the card face near the Penguin figure, consistent with a surface crease; corners appear soft and rounded rather than sharp, suggesting VG to VG-EX range. Surface: Some gloss loss is evident; the lower-left quadrant shows what appears to be a crease line running diagonally, which would cap this card firmly in the VG (3) range or possibly GOOD (2) territory. Edges appear intact without major tears, but the plastic holder obscures the corners and edges enough to limit precision — the crease is the grade-determining flaw here, and without a flat full-face photo the range must stay wide.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 60/40 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B), so centering is off but not severely so, approximately 65/35 worst axis. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in frame (lower-left and upper-right appear soft/rounded), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and what appears to be light toning on the white border areas, particularly along the bottom edge. No creases are clearly visible in this photo but the sleeve glare and angle obscure the surface fully; a crease cannot be ruled out. Edges appear somewhat rough but that is normal for 1966 Topps Batman vintage cuts. The combination of rounded corners and gloss loss suggests a grade in the 3-5 range; absent a confirmed crease the point estimate lands at 4 (VG-EX), but a back-side crease or more pronounced corner rounding could pull this to a 3.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55% top) — overall centering is reasonably tight, likely within 65/35 range on both axes. Corners appear to have very light wear with no obvious rounding visible at this resolution, suggesting EX-MT to NM territory. Edges look clean with no major nicks apparent. Surface gloss appears present and relatively intact with no obvious creases or staining visible; print quality looks solid with good color saturation typical of the Blue Bat series. The single overhead photo does not allow close corner inspection or back assessment, so the range is widened accordingly — a cleaner corner shot could push this toward a 7.
