1966 Topps Batman Blue Bat #2B The Penguin Prevails

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.

Centering estimate: left border ~3mm, right border ~5mm giving approximately 62/38 L/R; top border ~4mm, bottom border ~5mm giving approximately 55/45 T/B - centering is slightly off horizontally but not severely so. Corners show light to moderate rounding on at least two visible corners (top-left and bottom-left appear softer than ideal), consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface shows some light print snow/aging consistent with vintage 1966 Topps and not penalized heavily, but there is visible gloss loss suggesting handling wear. No creases are clearly visible in this photo though the scan angle may obscure subtle surface issues; back is unseen. The card presents reasonably well for its age but corner wear and modest gloss loss keep this in the EX/VG-EX corridor.

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 for this series. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-right are the most visible), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss across the face with what appears to be light toning on the white border areas; no obvious hard creases are visible in this image but the overall surface texture looks worn rather than fresh. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major chips or tears visible; rough-cut edges are normal for this set and not penalized. Back is not visible, which widens the range - any crease or staining on the back could push this toward a 3.

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.
