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 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.

Centering estimate (reoriented to normal): left border roughly 10%, right border roughly 20%, top border roughly 15%, bottom border roughly 15% - left/right approximately 65/35, top/bottom approximately 50/50, centering is workable but slightly off horizontally. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-right when properly oriented), consistent with VG to VG-EX range. Surface shows scattered scratches or handling marks visible across the image area, and there appears to be some gloss loss. Edges appear reasonably intact for a vintage 1966 Topps card with no immediately obvious major tears, though the sleeve makes precise edge assessment difficult. No crease is definitively confirmed from this photo but the seller's VG declaration and visible surface wear suggest one may be present on the back or subtly on the front; the point estimate of 3 reflects the corner rounding and surface wear consistent with VG grade.
