1966 Topps Batman Blue Bat #25B Dragged from Death's Door — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders look more balanced at approximately 60/40 T/B - centering is noticeably off horizontally. Corners cannot be assessed with precision at this distance but appear to show some rounding, consistent with a VG-EX range card. Surface gloss appears partially intact with no obviously visible creases from this view, though the photo distance makes it impossible to rule out light surface wear or hidden creases. The seller's VG/EX self-assessment aligns with what is visible; the off-centering is the primary grade limiter, and the mounting obscures full edge and corner assessment - range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) – centering is decent and not a major deduction. The hard case obscures corner tips, making precise corner assessment difficult; visible corner areas suggest mild rounding consistent with light handling wear, no sharp points clearly evident, pointing toward EX (5) range. Surface appears to retain moderate gloss with no obvious creases or staining visible from this angle. The seller's 'EX' self-assessment is consistent with what the photo suggests; the case glare and lip obstruction prevent confident corner and edge evaluation, so the range is widened accordingly. No miscut detected – borders appear complete on all sides within the case frame.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonably good, no OC concern. Corners: upper-left and upper-right corners appear relatively sharp with minimal rounding visible at this resolution; lower corners are slightly harder to assess but show no obvious severe rounding. Edges appear clean with no visible nicks or rough tears beyond typical 1966 Topps cut texture. Surface shows good gloss retention with no creases or staining apparent; print quality looks solid with vibrant color and no notable print snow or snow defects visible. The back is not shown, limiting full assessment, and corner closeups are not available — range is widened accordingly to account for hidden wear.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approx 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 60/40 T-B) — centering is off but not catastrophic. Corners show rounding visible even at this resolution, particularly the lower-left and lower-right, suggesting wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears present but the angled photo makes it difficult to assess print defects or creasing definitively; no obvious crease is visible but cannot be ruled out on the back or in flatter lighting. White borders show some toning/aging typical of the series; overall condition reads as a solid EX (5) with downside risk to VG-EX (4) if corner wear or hidden surface issues are more pronounced than the photo reveals.
