Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65-70% left bias), top border slightly wider than bottom — left/right roughly 65/35, top/bottom roughly 55/45, indicating off-center but not miscut. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-right appear soft), consistent with VG-range wear. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and what appears to be light handling wear or possible light crease near the lower-left quadrant, though the scan resolution makes it difficult to confirm a hard crease definitively. Edges appear intact without significant chipping; the rough-cut texture is normal for this 1966 Topps issue and is not penalized. Overall condition reads VG (3) most likely, with VG-EX (4) possible if the surface is cleaner than it appears and no crease is present, and GOOD (2) as the floor if a crease is confirmed.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~60% of right border width), suggesting roughly 60/40 L/R imbalance; top border appears slightly narrower than bottom, roughly 55/45 T/B - centering is off but not severely so for this vintage set. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most pronounced on the lower-left and upper-left corners, consistent with moderate handling wear placing this in the VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some light soiling or print spotting on the lower-left quadrant and possible very light crease stress lines are suggested near the lower portion, though a definitive crease cannot be confirmed from this single photo. Gloss appears partially intact with moderate loss consistent with age; edges show the typical rough cut texture normal for 1966 Topps Batman and are not penalized. Back is not visible, limiting full assessment.
