Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border ~2mm, right border ~4-5mm, top border ~3mm, bottom border ~4mm — approximately 70/30 L/R and 55/45 T/B, so left-to-right centering is notably off but not extreme. Corners: the upper-left corner shows visible rounding/wear, the upper-right corner appears soft as well; lower corners are partially obscured but suggest similar light-to-moderate rounding. Surface: there is visible surface wear and what appears to be a light crease or fold line near the upper-left quadrant, with some gloss loss evident across the card face; print quality is typical for the set with minor snow. Edges: cut appears rough but within normal vintage parameters for this set. The combination of off-centering, corner rounding, and suspected surface crease/wear places this squarely in the VG-EX to EX range; back condition and true corner sharpness cannot be confirmed from this single front image, which widens the range.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55-60% right-heavy), top border appears slightly wider than bottom, roughly 60/40 L/R and 55/45 T/B - acceptable for EX-MT range. Corners appear relatively clean with only very light wear visible; no obvious rounding detected at this resolution but the upper-right and lower-left corners warrant closer inspection. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no visible creases; color registration looks solid with typical vintage print characteristics. The white borders show some light toning consistent with age, which is normal for this set, and no staining or major surface defects are apparent - back is unavailable for assessment which limits confidence and widens the range.

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — acceptable for a PSA 6-7 range. Corners: the upper-left and lower-right corners show some blunting/softening visible even at scan resolution; upper-right and lower-left appear crisper, suggesting light wear consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface: image presents reasonably full gloss with no obvious creases or staining visible; some minor print speckle typical of the 1966 Topps Batman issue is present but not penalizing. Edges: appear relatively clean with no major nicks noted, though the rough-cut texture normal to this issue is present. Back is not visible, and corner detail is somewhat compressed at this scan size, so a one-grade swing in either direction is possible — a confirmed clean back and sharper corners could push toward 7, while any hidden surface flaw or edge wear would pull toward 5.

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.
