Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right border (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B), creating a noticeably off-center appearance left-to-right that is a meaningful defect. Corners: the visible corners show moderate rounding — upper-left and lower-right appear most worn with soft but not fully rounded tips; no sharp razor corners visible, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface: print quality looks reasonably clean with expected 1966 Topps print characteristics; gloss appears partially present but some loss evident, no visible creases or staining in the image. Edges: the holder obscures edge condition somewhat, limiting full assessment of edge wear; the rough-cut texture normal for this set is noted and not penalized. The significant left-to-right centering issue and corner softness push this toward the 4-5 range; absent a crease or heavier damage, EX (5) is the most likely grade.

Centering estimate: left border ~3mm, right border ~4mm (L/R roughly 43/57), top border ~3mm, bottom border ~4.5mm (T/B roughly 40/60) — off-center but within EX-MT range, no miscut detected. Corners appear lightly worn with very minor rounding visible on the upper-left and lower-right corners; no sharp razor corners but no severe blunting either. Edges look reasonably clean with expected vintage rough-cut texture typical of 1966 Topps Batman — no significant chipping noted. Surface shows good gloss retention with some minor print snow/grain consistent with the set; no visible creases or staining, though the sleeve limits a definitive surface read. Overall presentation suggests EX to EX-MT range (5–7), with 6 as the most likely grade pending any hidden back-side issues.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top border appears narrower than bottom (~65/35 T/B) - centering is off but not severely so, likely within PSA 5-7 range on that metric alone. Corners are difficult to assess precisely through the acrylic holder and glare, but no dramatic rounding or fraying is immediately obvious; they appear to have at least light wear consistent with a 5-6 grade. Surface gloss cannot be reliably judged due to reflections from the screwdown case. No obvious creases, staining, or writing are visible, but the holder obscures edges and corners sufficiently that a 3-4 scenario cannot be ruled out if hidden wear exists. Range is widened significantly due to obstruction by the acrylic case preventing proper corner, edge, and surface evaluation.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approximately 65-70% left vs 30-35% right), and top border appears slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T/B) - left-to-right shift is the primary centering concern, likely in the 70/30 or worse range horizontally. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding visible even at this resolution, particularly on the upper-left and lower-left corners, consistent with a grade of 5 EX rather than higher. Surface appears to retain reasonable gloss with no obvious creases visible, and the white borders show some minor toning consistent with a 58-year-old card. Edge wear appears light and within normal vintage parameters for this set; the back cannot be assessed from this image, which widens the range downward.
