1966 Topps Batman Blue Bat #31B Batman Bucks Badman

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.

Centering estimate: left border ~40%, right border ~60% L/R; top border ~45%, bottom border ~55% T/B — off-center left-to-right but not severely so, roughly 60/40 range. Corners: the top-left corner appears slightly soft/rounded, the bottom-left corner shows visible rounding and possible light wear; top-right and bottom-right look marginally better but not sharp. Surface gloss appears moderate with some toning on the white border areas consistent with age; no obvious creases are visible from this photo. Edge cut appears slightly rough on the left side but within normal vintage tolerance for this set. The combination of off-center left-right orientation, corner wear on at least two corners, and border toning suggests EX (5) as the most likely grade, with EX-MT (6) possible if corners are sharper than they appear and the back is clean, and VG-EX (4) possible if hidden wear exists.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B), so centering is off but within EX-EX-MT range. Corners: all four corners show some rounding/blunting visible at this resolution - upper left and lower right appear the softest, consistent with light to moderate wear suggesting EX territory. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks or tears, consistent with typical vintage rough-cut handling for this set. Surface gloss appears moderate with some loss visible, no creases or staining detected, though the photo angle and sleeve shadow on the left side prevent full confidence on surface and back condition - range is widened accordingly.

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).
