1966 Topps Batman Blue Bat #31B Batman Bucks Badman — Raw

Centering estimate: left border approximately 6mm, right border approximately 4mm (L/R roughly 60/40); top border approximately 5mm, bottom border approximately 4mm (T/B roughly 55/45) — centering is acceptable and not a primary defect. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding, particularly the top-left and bottom-left, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range at best; no sharp corners visible. Surface and edges: there is noticeable gloss loss and some light toning on the white border consistent with age and handling; no obvious hard creases are visible in the image but light surface wear appears present. Back is not visible so hidden creases or staining cannot be ruled out, widening the range downward; the card sits solidly in the VG-EX (4) neighborhood with EX (5) possible if corners are better than they photograph and no back issues exist.

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border notably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B) — centering is off but not severely miscut. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding and wear, consistent with a VG-range card; no sharp corners remain. Surface: significant cracking/crease pattern is visible across the entire card face — a prominent crease network runs diagonally suggesting the card has been folded or heavily handled; gloss is substantially reduced. Edges appear rough but that is normal for 1966 Topps Batman; the COMC watermark obscures the center surface making precise crease assessment difficult, but the overall wear pattern (rounded corners, crease lines, gloss loss) firmly places this in the VG to VG-EX range, leaning toward VG (3) given the creasing.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably narrower than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so. Corners are the primary concern: all four corners show visible rounding, consistent with a VG to VG-EX card; lower-left corner appears the most worn. Surface shows moderate gloss loss across much of the card face, and there are visible handling marks and light soiling particularly in the lower portion of the image. Edges appear somewhat rough but this is normal for the 1966 Topps Batman issue and should not be over-penalized. No visible creases are confirmed from this photo, though the surface texture and gloss loss make it difficult to rule out light stress lines entirely; if crease-free, the card trends toward a 4, but the corner rounding and gloss loss anchor the estimate solidly in the VG (3) range.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders appear moderately off (approximately 65/35 T/B) — centering is poor but not catastrophic. More critically, there are multiple visible creases running across the card surface, most notably a heavy horizontal crease through the mid-section and what appears to be a diagonal crease in the lower portion — these are grade-defining defects pushing the card firmly into the VG-to-Good range. All four corners show rounding and wear consistent with heavy handling. Surface gloss appears significantly diminished with scuffing visible across the image area. The card is gradable but the combination of multiple creases, rounded corners, and gloss loss places this solidly in the PSA 2–3 range; the severity of the creasing leans toward a 2.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T-B) — centering is off but not catastrophically miscut. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in frame (lower-left Batman area and upper-left), consistent with a VG card; no corners appear sharp. Surface shows apparent gloss loss and what appears to be light soiling or toning across the image area; the card stock looks worn rather than crisp. No obvious hard crease is confirmed from this angle but the card's overall presentation (soft corners, dull surface, possible light handling creases) puts this squarely in the VG (3) range with VG-EX (4) possible if surface is cleaner than it reads and no crease is present on reverse, or GOOD (2) if a crease is hiding in the image area. The angled photo and carpet background prevent confident corner and edge assessment.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 — horizontal centering is the primary concern and likely caps this in the EX-EX/MT range. Corners appear to show light rounding on at least the lower-left and lower-right corners visible in the scan, consistent with EX to EX-MT wear; no corners show sharp points under this resolution. Surface gloss appears moderate with no obvious creases or staining visible, and the image area looks clean with typical vintage print texture for this issue. Edge quality looks reasonably clean with no obvious nicks apparent, though the moderate image resolution prevents confident assessment of corner tips and fine surface wear — the seller's EXMT self-grade aligns plausibly but the off-center horizontal axis may limit the ceiling to PSA 5.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B) - centering is off but not severely so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (bottom-left and bottom-right most visible), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. The white borders show some toning/aging consistent with a 55+ year old card, which is normal for this set. Surface appears to have moderate gloss remaining with no obvious creases visible from this angle, though the sleeve glare makes a definitive surface call difficult; the seller's 'VGEX' self-assessment aligns with the visible evidence. Back condition is unverifiable from this photo, which widens the range downward.
