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

Centering estimate: Left border appears noticeably wider than right (~70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), so left-right centering is a meaningful concern likely in the 70/30 range. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding, most notably the bottom-left and top-left, consistent with a VG to VG-EX range card. Surface: there is apparent gloss loss across the face visible even through the sleeve, and what appears to be light soiling or toning on the white border areas, particularly lower portion; no obvious hard crease is visible from this image but surface wear is present. Edges show typical rough-cut texture normal for the 1966 Topps Batman set and are not penalized heavily, though the left edge appears slightly worn. Back is not visible, limiting confidence; a back crease or additional surface flaw could push the grade to a 2.

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 (~55-60% left / 40-45% right); top border appears slightly tighter than bottom (~45/55 top-to-bottom) — centering reads roughly 60/40 or better on both axes, consistent with EX-MT to NM-MT range. Corners: at this resolution the corners appear to show light wear on at least two corners (bottom-left and top-right show subtle rounding), consistent with EX-MT (6) rather than NM (7) or better. Surface: gloss appears largely intact with no visible creases; print quality looks clean with good color saturation typical of the blue-bat series. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious tears or major roughness, though the single front-only photo prevents assessment of the reverse, and corner closeups are not available to confirm precise rounding — range widened accordingly.

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 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.
