Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60% right-weighted), top border slightly narrower than bottom - approximating L/R ~60/40 and T/B ~55/45, which is within acceptable range but leaning off. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on at least two visible corners (lower-left and upper-left appear softened), consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling visible, no obvious creases detected in the image though the back is unseen. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chips or tears; vintage rough-cut texture is normal for this set and not penalized. The sleeve/holder makes precise corner and surface assessment difficult, widening the range - a hidden crease or heavier corner wear could push this toward a 4.

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 left-right skew favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 top-bottom) — acceptable for the era but not tight. The upper-left corner shows visible rounding/wear and the lower-left corner also appears softened; upper-right and lower-right look somewhat better but still show light wear. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling visible, consistent with handling wear. No creases are clearly visible from this scan, though the scan resolution limits confident crease detection; edges show typical 1966 Topps rough-cut texture which is normal for the issue and should not be penalized. Overall presentation suggests a VG-EX to EX range (4–5), with the corner wear being the primary grade-limiting factor.

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding and wear, consistent with a VG card; no corner is sharp. Edges: rough cut typical of the 1966 Topps Batman series, no miscut detected, but edges show some fraying/wear. Surface: there is visible surface wear and gloss loss across the face — the image appears slightly worn with scuffing or handling marks evident, and the lower-left corner of the card itself shows significant white border wear/soiling. This card presents as a honest VG (3) with a chance at VG-EX (4) if the surface wear is lighter than it appears, or GOOD (2) if a hidden crease exists on the back.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — acceptable for vintage but not tight. Corners: all four appear to have light rounding or soft tips visible at this resolution; no sharp razor corners, consistent with EX to EX-MT range. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible, though the rough-cut texture normal for 1966 Topps makes edge assessment imprecise from this photo. Surface shows decent gloss retention with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects visible, though some minor print snow typical of the issue cannot be ruled out. Back cannot be assessed; if the blue back shows no creases or significant wear, a 6 is the most likely grade, with 7 possible if corners are sharper than they appear at this resolution.
