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

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.

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 ~2mm, right border ~3.5mm, top border ~2mm, bottom border ~3mm — approximately 65/35 L/R and 60/40 T/B, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Corners appear reasonably sharp from this distance but the lower-left and lower-right corners show slight softening that suggests light wear, consistent with a 6 EX-MT. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases or staining visible. Edges look clean with no major chipping; print quality is typical for the series with no egregious print snow noted. Back is not visible, and corner sharpness cannot be confirmed at macro level, so the range is widened accordingly — a strong example could reach 7 NM if corners are crisper than they appear, but visible corner softening makes 5 EX a realistic floor.

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.
