1966 Topps Batman Blue Bat #24B Fangs of the Phantom — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~60/40 left-right disadvantage), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 top-bottom) — centering is off but not severely miscut territory. All four corners show visible rounding consistent with handling wear; no corner is sharp, though none appears badly mashed. Surface gloss appears reduced but partially intact; the image area shows no obvious crease lines visible at this resolution, though a subtle diagonal stress mark cannot be fully ruled out near the center-left. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major tears or chips, consistent with typical vintage Topps rough-cut stock. The angled photo and moderate image quality prevent confident assessment of surface creases or fine corner detail, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65-70% left bias), top border slightly wider than bottom, approximate L/R ratio ~65/35 and T/B ~55/45 — centering is off but not miscut territory. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (upper-left and lower-left most visible), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light wear or minor scuffing across the image area; the white border shows toning/yellowing typical of this era. Edges appear reasonably intact with no obvious major nicks visible, though the perspective angle limits full edge inspection — back is not visible so hidden creases or staining cannot be ruled out, hence the range is kept conservative at 3–5.

Centering estimate from photo: left border appears noticeably wider than right border (rough ratio ~65/35 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners cannot be assessed with precision through the case glare but suggest mild to moderate rounding consistent with a card that has seen some handling — no sharp points visible. Surface shows no obvious creases or major staining, and color registration on the artwork appears intact with reasonable gloss remaining, consistent with EX to EX-MT range. The hard plastic case obscures edges and corners significantly, widening the range; a proper corner inspection could easily move this a full grade in either direction, and the back is entirely unseen.

Centering estimate: Left/right borders appear approximately 70/30 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 60/40 - noticeably off-center left-to-right which would be a concern. Corners are difficult to assess precisely through the sleeve/album mount but appear to show mild to moderate rounding consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible in this image, though the sleeve and photo quality obscure fine detail. The card is housed in what appears to be an album page or paper sleeve which limits corner and edge inspection significantly; the wide range reflects this uncertainty rather than confirmed defects.

Centering estimate: left border roughly 5-6mm, right border roughly 3-4mm, top border roughly 4mm, bottom border roughly 5mm — left/right approximately 60/40 to 65/35 and top/bottom roughly 45/55, acceptable for vintage but slightly off. Corners show visible rounding at all four corners, most pronounced at lower-left and upper-left, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows no obvious hard creases in the image but there is visible wear and some gloss loss across the artwork; the sleeve makes definitive surface assessment difficult. The seller's title claims VG-EX (4) which aligns with what is visible — rounded corners with no catastrophic creasing push this into the 3-4 range, with EX (5) possible if surface is cleaner than the photo reveals.
