Index grading notes

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: 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 ~10%, right border ~12%, top border ~11%, bottom border ~11% — left/right ratio approximately 55/45 to 60/40, top/bottom close to 50/50; centering is quite good and not a grade-limiting factor. Corners: upper-left and upper-right appear reasonably sharp with only minor softening visible; lower corners are partially obscured by toploader glare but show no obvious rounding or fraying. Surface: image area shows strong color saturation and good gloss retention consistent with EX-MT to NM range; no visible creases, staining, or print snow detected in this image. Edges appear clean with no chipping; the rough-cut texture on the left edge is consistent with normal 1966 Topps production and is not penalized. Back not visible and corner sharpness is partially obscured by glare, so the range is widened accordingly — a clean back and sharper corners on inspection could push toward a 7.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B) - centering is off but not catastrophically so, likely in the 80/20 or worse range left-to-right which would cap at EX or below. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding under the sleeve; no razor sharpness present - consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Edges appear slightly rough but that is normal for 1966 Topps Batman vintage cuts. Surface: the sleeve glare prevents confident assessment of creases or gloss loss, though the image texture appears somewhat matte suggesting gloss reduction; no obvious heavy creases visible but a light surface wrinkle cannot be ruled out. Overall the rounding on all four corners, off-centering left-to-right, and likely gloss loss point to a VG-EX (4) as the most probable grade, with EX (5) possible if corners are better than they appear through the sleeve.
