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

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.

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 acceptable for NM-MT range and does not cap the grade. Corners appear reasonably intact with only mild rounding visible on the lower-left and lower-right corners; upper corners look slightly sharper but some softening is present. Surface shows moderate print quality consistent with 1966 Topps vintage stock - some print grain and minor color variation visible but no obvious creases or staining detected. Edges appear slightly rough but this is normal for the 1966 Topps Batman issue; overall gloss appears decent though some loss is visible. Without a back scan and corner macro shots, a range of EX to NM cannot be narrowed further; the seller's 'NM' claim is optimistic but not implausible - landing at EX-MT (6) seems most defensible from this single front image.

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.
