1966 Topps Batman Blue Bat #19B Cornered on a Cliff — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), so horizontal centering is a concern but not catastrophic. Surface shows significant handling wear with visible creasing on the lower-left corner area and what appears to be a diagonal surface crease running through the lower-left quadrant of the card — consistent with a VG or lower grade. All four corners show visible rounding and wear; no corner is sharp. Gloss is substantially diminished with evident surface scuffing across the illustration. The card matches the expected Blue Bat B-series characteristics and rough-cut edges are normal for the issue, but the crease(s) and corner wear place this firmly in the VG (3) range, with VG-EX (4) as an optimistic ceiling only if the apparent lower-left crease is shallower than it appears in the photo.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) - centering is off but not severely so, likely within EX-MT tolerance on that axis. The upper-left corner shows visible rounding and what appears to be a small crease or stress line at the top-left area consistent with wear; the remaining corners show moderate rounding consistent with a VG-EX to EX card. The white borders show some toning/yellowing especially along the left edge, and there is some surface wear visible but no obvious hard creases across the image area. Gloss appears partially intact but diminished; back cannot be assessed from this photo, which widens the range - a clean back with no creases would support the high end (5), while any back crease or staining would push toward the low end (3).

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L/R favoring right), top border is noticeably thinner than bottom (approximately 70/30 T/B), placing centering in the EX-VG-EX range but not catastrophic. Corners show visible rounding and wear on at least two corners (upper-left and lower-right appear most affected), consistent with a VG-EX to EX card. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light soiling or toning on the white border areas, particularly visible along the top edge where the white border shows yellowing/wear. The card is housed in a holder which obscures precise corner and edge inspection; no creases are definitively visible from this angle, but the overall wear pattern and corner rounding suggest a grade in the 3-5 range, with 4 (VG-EX) being the most probable single grade given the combination of corner rounding, centering, and border wear without an obvious crease.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) - left-to-right shift is the primary centering concern but not extreme enough alone to cap the grade. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible from this angle, consistent with VG-range wear. Surface gloss appears moderately reduced with some general wear, though no obvious hard creases are visible from this single-photo view; seller describes VG-VGEX which aligns with observable rounding and gloss loss. Back is not visible, and corner closeups are unavailable, so a crease on reverse or heavier corner damage cannot be ruled out - the range is widened accordingly. Overall presentation supports a PSA 3 VG as the most likely point grade, with VG-EX (4) possible if corners are slightly better than they appear and no back issues exist.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border appears wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B) - acceptable for vintage but bottom border is tight; no miscut detected. The card is mounted in a matted frame which obscures all four corners and edges significantly, preventing reliable corner assessment - this is the primary limitation. Surface appears to have reasonable gloss remaining with no obvious creases visible, print quality looks typical for the 1966 Topps run with no severe print snow apparent. Given the seller's 'EX' self-description and what little is visible of the surface, a PSA 5 EX seems most plausible, but the mounting obstruction forces a wide range; a collector should request unframed photos before bidding.
