1966 Topps Batman Blue Bat #2B The Penguin Prevails — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), so horizontal centering is a concern but not catastrophic. Corners show visible rounding on all four, consistent with heavy handling - no sharp corners detectable even at this resolution. Surface shows significant gloss loss across the face with what appears to be general tonal dulling and possible light soiling or staining in the mid-card area. The seller's own grade of F-G (Fair to Good) is credible: the combination of rounded corners, gloss loss, and apparent surface wear places this squarely in the PSA 2 GOOD range, with PSA 1 possible if a crease or staining is present on reverse. Back not visible, which is a meaningful uncertainty at this grade level - widening the range accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R favoring left), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T/B) — off-center but not severely miscut. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most pronounced at lower-left and upper-right, consistent with a VG-range card. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and what appears to be light creasing or surface wrinkling in the upper portion of the card, along with typical 1966 Topps print snow. Edges appear slightly rough but within normal vintage cut tolerance for this set. The combination of rounded corners, apparent surface wear/crease, and gloss loss points to a PSA 3 VG as the most likely grade, with VG-EX (4) possible if the surface disturbance is shallower than it appears and a GOOD (2) floor if the crease is more significant than the photo reveals.

Centering estimate from photo: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left bias), top border appears moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) - centering is off but not severely so, likely in the EX to NM range on that axis alone. The card is sealed in a screwdown holder which introduces glare across the surface, making it impossible to assess gloss loss, print defects, or fine corner wear with confidence. Corners appear to show some rounding or wear - the lower-left corner of the card looks slightly soft under the holder, and the upper-right appears similarly worn, suggesting EX to VG-EX range (grades 4-5). No visible creases or staining detected through the holder, and no obvious miscut. The wide range (4-7) reflects genuine uncertainty from the holder obstruction and single overhead angle; a point estimate of 5 (EX) accounts for the apparent corner softness while acknowledging the surface and centering are not disqualifying.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) - centering looks acceptable in the NM-MT to EX range and is not an obvious grade-killer. Corners cannot be assessed with precision due to the screw-down holder clipping all four corners and glare from the plastic sleeve obscuring surface detail. The artwork and color appear vivid with apparent decent gloss remaining, suggesting the card has not suffered heavy wear, but surface assessment is severely hampered. Range is widened significantly due to the obstructions - a true corner and surface inspection under the holder could shift this meaningfully in either direction; collector should have this graded raw after removal from the holder for an accurate assessment.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (roughly 55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (approximately 65/35 T/B) - acceptable for vintage but bottom border is tight. Corners appear to show some rounding, particularly visible at lower corners, consistent with a VG-EX range card. Surface gloss appears moderately present but some dulling is evident; no obvious creases are visible at this resolution though the image quality is insufficient to rule them out confidently. Edges appear intact without major chipping; the seller's VG/EX self-assessment aligns with the visible evidence, placing this in the 3-5 range with 4 as the most likely point grade pending back inspection and corner closeups.
