1966 Topps Batman Blue Bat #17B Prehistoric Peril — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~60-65% left bias), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), putting L/R at roughly 65/35 and T/B at 55/45 — borderline for EX-MT but leaning EX territory. Corners show some rounding visible even at this resolution, particularly the lower-left and lower-right, consistent with an EX (5) grade. Surface appears reasonably clean with no obvious creases visible, and gloss appears partially retained. Edges look acceptable for the vintage with typical rough-cut texture normal for 1966 Topps Batman. Back cannot be assessed from this front-only image; range is widened accordingly as back condition, any hidden creases, or surface wear could push the grade lower.

Centering estimate: left border appears approximately 4mm, right border approximately 6-7mm, suggesting roughly 60/40 L/R off-center leaning right; top border appears slightly wider than bottom, approximately 55/45 T/B - centering is acceptable for EX range. Corners: the card curl makes precise corner assessment difficult, but visible corners appear to show light rounding consistent with a 5 EX grade - no razor sharpness evident but no aggressive rounding either. Surface: gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible in the image, print quality looks solid with good color saturation typical of this series. Key limitation: the bow/curl in the card obscures corner detail and could mask surface issues; back is not visible; seller's EX to EX-MT self-assessment of 5-6 aligns with what is visible from the front, but the curl itself may reflect handling or storage stress that could affect the final grade.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border appears noticeably wider than bottom (~60-65% top) — roughly 60/40 L/R and 65/35 T/B, which would be acceptable for NM range if confirmed. However, the acrylic holder and poly bag create significant glare that prevents a clean read of corner wear, surface gloss, and edge condition. Corners appear to show at least light rounding on the visible lower-right corner, suggesting wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range. No obvious creases are visible, and the image artwork and colors appear reasonably vibrant with no gross staining noted. Given the obstruction limiting corner and surface assessment, the range is widened; a clean re-photo outside the holder would be needed to tighten this estimate meaningfully.
