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

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 left-right skew favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 top-bottom) — centering is off but not severely so, likely within EX-EX-MT range. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on at least two visible corners (lower-left and lower-right appear slightly blunted), consistent with EX to VG-EX wear. Surface shows some gloss loss in the center field and a possible light handling mark or soft crease in the mid-card area (difficult to confirm definitively through sleeve glare); no hard creases or staining visible. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major nicks; rough cut texture is normal for this 1966 Topps issue and not penalized. Back not visible so no assessment of reverse condition; range widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 left-right favoring right, borderline but not severe); top border slightly wider than bottom, approximately 55/45 top-bottom — centering is acceptable for a mid-grade vintage card. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding/softening, consistent with significant handling; no corners appear sharp, suggesting at minimum VG-EX territory but not worse than VG. Surface: there is a noticeable diagonal surface scuff/soil mark in the center-left area of the image (visible on Batman's torso region), which reduces surface grade; gloss appears partially present but dulled. Edges appear reasonably intact without major chips. The combination of rounded corners, surface scuffing/soiling, and moderate gloss loss points to a PSA 4 (VG-EX) as the most likely grade, with 3 possible if the surface mark is deeper than it appears, and 5 unlikely given the visible corner rounding; sleeve limits full corner and edge assessment.

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.
