1966 Topps Batman Blue Bat #33B Gassed by a Geranium — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~60-65% left), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55% top) — left/right roughly 65/35, top/bottom roughly 55/45; centering is off but not catastrophic. Corners are the main concern: all four corners show visible rounding, consistent with a VG (3) grade; upper-left and lower-left corners appear the softest. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light handling/wear across the face — no obvious hard creases are visible in this photo but subtle surface stress lines cannot be ruled out at this resolution. Edges appear reasonably intact with the expected rough-cut texture normal for 1966 Topps; no tears or paper loss evident. The range is widened because the single slightly angled photo prevents definitive assessment of corner sharpness and any possible back-side flaws.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. The card shows significant surface wear with visible creasing particularly in the upper-left quadrant and across the face, consistent with the seller's 'Good+' self-disclosure. Corners appear rounded on at least two visible corners (upper-left and lower-left), suggesting wear consistent with a VG grade. Gloss appears substantially diminished across the surface. The combination of visible creasing, corner rounding, and gloss loss places this firmly in the VG (3) range, with VG-EX (4) possible only if the creases are shallower than they appear in this scan; Good (2) is the floor given the apparent crease severity.

Centering: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 left-to-right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40), so horizontal centering is a meaningful concern. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding — upper right is the most worn, lower left also rounded; no corner is sharp, ruling out grades above 5. Surface: some gloss loss is evident across the face, and there is light toning/aging consistent with a 55-year-old card; no obvious creases are visible in this scan but subtle surface wear cannot be excluded. Edges: cuts appear reasonably clean with no miscut detected; no adjacent card printing visible along any edge. Overall condition points to a VG-EX (4) with the rounded corners and centering preventing a clean EX (5), though the absence of visible creases keeps it out of VG (3) territory definitively.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at roughly 60/40 T-B — centering is the primary concern here and likely caps the grade. Corners appear reasonably sharp at this resolution with no obvious rounding visible on the top-left and bottom-right corners, though fine-point wear cannot be fully confirmed from a single photo. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects beyond normal 1966 Topps print characteristics; the image area looks clean and colors are vivid. The left-right centering tilt is the main grade limiter, pushing this toward NM (7) rather than NM-MT (8); back condition and corner micro-wear under magnification are unknown, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B), so horizontal centering is the primary concern pushing toward EX or lower. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding visible at all four tips, most notably at the upper corners, consistent with an EX (5) card. Surface appears to retain reasonable gloss with no obvious creases detected in the image, and the image/print quality looks typical for the set. The seller's EX/MT claim appears slightly optimistic given the off-centering and visible corner wear; a PSA 5 EX is the most likely grade, with 6 possible if corners are sharper than they appear and centering measures better under calipers, and 4 possible if corner rounding is more pronounced than visible here.

Centering estimate from photo (perspective-adjusted): left border appears slightly wider than right, roughly 55/45 L/R; top border noticeably narrower than bottom, approximately 65/35 T/B - centering is not disqualifying on its own. The acrylic holder obscures all four corners significantly, preventing confident corner assessment, but what is visible suggests moderate rounding consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and the white border shows toning/age consistent with a 58-year-old card. No creases are visible from this angle but the holder and glare make it impossible to rule them out. The back is unseen. Range is widened due to corner and surface uncertainty imposed by the holder - a raw inspection or better photo could shift this meaningfully in either direction.

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly 15-20% narrower than right border (approximately 60/40 left-to-right), top border slightly wider than bottom, perhaps 55/45 top-to-bottom — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners: the lower-left corner shows the most visible rounding/wear; upper corners appear relatively sharp but some softening is evident on the upper-right; no corner is razor-sharp. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major nicks visible from this angle, consistent with normal 1966 Topps rough-cut characteristics. Surface shows some light gloss loss and what appears to be minor print snow in the white cloud/gas area, which is typical for the set; no creases are visible from this single front image, though the back cannot be assessed. Overall the card presents in the EX to EX-MT range pending back inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B) - centering is acceptable for EX range, no miscut detected. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on at least the visible lower-left and upper-left corners; right-side corners are partially obscured by perspective but appear similarly worn. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light print speckling consistent with the set, but no obvious creases are visible from this angle. The blue border appears intact without major chipping or staining; back is not visible, preventing full assessment of any paper issues, which is the primary reason for the widened range.
