1966 Topps Batman Blue Bat #36B A Pressing Position — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 65-70% left / 30-35% right), and top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 top-to-bottom) — left/right tilt is the primary concern and would likely push toward OC territory at the stricter end of grading, though not severely miscut. Corners: the four corners appear to show light-to-moderate wear with slight blunting visible especially at the lower-left and upper-right; no sharp 90-degree points are present but rounding is not severe. Surface and gloss appear reasonably intact with no obvious creases, staining, or print snow that dominates; gloss retention looks decent for a 1966 card. Back is not visible so no evaluation of the Riddler puzzle back is possible, and the left/right centering skew widens uncertainty — a strong NM (7) is possible if the back is clean and centering measures better in hand, but EX-MT (6) is the most defensible single estimate given visible corner wear and border asymmetry.

Centering estimate from photo: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B) — centering is off-center right but not extreme; no miscut visible. Corners are obscured by the screwdown holder making precise corner assessment impossible, but what is visible suggests light-to-moderate rounding consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface appears to retain reasonable gloss with no obvious creases visible through the acrylic, though the holder and angle make surface inspection unreliable. The acrylic holder significantly limits grading confidence — corners, edges, and full surface cannot be properly assessed; range is intentionally wide to reflect this uncertainty.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B), suggesting mild off-centering that is acceptable for EX-MT range. All four corners appear reasonably sharp with only minimal rounding visible, consistent with a 6-7 grade range. Surface gloss appears intact with good color saturation and no visible creases; some minor print texture is present but normal for this issue. The bottom border appears tighter than ideal which is the main centering concern, and without corner macro shots the upper end of NM (7) cannot be confirmed — this card most likely grades in the EX-MT (6) range with NM (7) possible if corners hold up under closer inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 65-70% left / 30-35% right), and top border appears slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 top-to-bottom) — centering is off-center left/right, likely grading as 85/15 or worse horizontally which caps around EX or below. Corners: at this resolution and card lean, corners appear to show light-to-moderate rounding on at least the visible lower-left and lower-right corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface: gloss appears present but diminished — no obvious creases visible from this view, though the card angle limits inspection of the full surface. Edges: appear intact without major chipping; rough-cut texture is normal for this 1966 Topps issue and not penalized. Back is not visible and corner detail is limited by the shooting angle, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right side being wider), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) - centering is off but not severely so, no miscut detected. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding, particularly visible on the upper-left and lower-left corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some visible loss suggesting light handling wear; no creases are clearly detectable in this photo though the image resolution limits certainty on fine surface defects. The seller's 'EX' self-assessment aligns reasonably with what is visible, placing this in the 4-5 range; absence of confirmed creases and the degree of corner wear lean toward a PSA 5 point estimate, but back condition is unseen and could push lower.
