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

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at approximately 55/45 T/B — centering is off-center horizontally but not severely so. All four corners show visible rounding and wear, particularly the lower-left and upper-left corners which appear soft and blunted; no corner is sharp enough for grades above 5. Surface appears to retain modest gloss with no obvious creases visible in this photo, though the back is unseen and cannot be assessed. Edges show some roughness consistent with vintage 1966 Topps cuts, which is normal for the issue and not penalized heavily; overall condition points to a VG-EX (4) range with the corner wear being the primary grade limiter.

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 estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is not a primary concern here. The surface shows extensive cracking/crazing across the entire card face, consistent with multiple surface creases or a heavy paper-stress pattern — this is the dominant defect. Corners appear rounded with visible wear on at least two corners, likely all four. Gloss appears largely gone with evident surface wear. The COMC watermark partially obscures assessment of fine detail but the overall condition tells are clear enough: this is a well-worn card in the VG to VG-EX range at best, with the crease/crazing network pushing it toward the lower end; a VG (3) is the most likely grade with a realistic floor of GOOD (2) if the back shows additional damage.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border appears modestly wider than bottom (approx 60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable for EX range. Corners show visible light rounding on at least two corners (most apparent at top-left and bottom-left), consistent with EX to VG-EX wear. Edges appear reasonably clean with no dramatic chipping or tears, though some minor roughness is present — normal for vintage 1966 Topps rough-cut stock. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and what appears to be light handling wear; no obvious creases are detectable in this photo, though the image angle and lighting may obscure shallow surface creases. The seller's EX claim is plausible; grade is estimated at PSA 5 EX with a range of 4-6 pending back inspection and closer corner examination.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at approximately 60/40 T/B - centering is off horizontally and would be a factor. Corners appear to show light rounding consistent with EX to EX-MT range, with no sharp points visible at this resolution but no severe blunting either. Surface gloss appears present but mildly reduced; no obvious creases are visible, consistent with the seller's EX-MT claim though that may be optimistic given the horizontal centering lean. Edges appear clean with no major chipping or tears visible; the rough-cut texture normal for this 1966 Topps issue is not penalized here. Without a back scan and corner macro shots, range is widened - the horizontal centering issue is the primary grade limiter pushing this toward EX (5) rather than EX-MT (6).

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.
