Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border approximately 4mm, right border approximately 6mm (L/R roughly 60/40 acceptable); top border approximately 4mm, bottom border approximately 7mm (T/B roughly 65/35 — moderate off-centering toward top). Corners: all four corners show visible rounding and wear — not sharp, consistent with VG-EX to EX range; no corner is crisp enough for NM territory. Surface: some gloss loss is apparent across the face, print wear is consistent with age; no obvious creases are visible from this photo though the lower-left quadrant of the card shows some stress lines that could be surface creases or just print texture — this is the key uncertainty capping the ceiling. Edges: appear reasonably intact with no major nicks visible; rough cut is normal for this set. Overall condition reads VG-EX (4) most likely, with EX (5) possible if the suspected lower-left stress marks are surface texture rather than creases, and VG (3) possible if they are light creases confirmed on reverse inspection.

Centering: left border is notably wider than right, and top border appears wider than bottom — estimated L/R roughly 65/35 and T/B roughly 60/40, so centering alone is borderline VG territory. More critically, there is a clearly visible diagonal crease running across the lower-left portion of the card face, which is a grade-defining defect consistent with GOOD to VG range. Corners show evident rounding on at least two visible corners (upper-left and lower-left are the most legible), consistent with heavy handling. Surface gloss appears largely gone with visible wear across the image area; the card face looks dull rather than glossy. The seller's own 'low grade' disclosure aligns with the physical evidence — this card most likely grades PSA 2 (GOOD), with a floor of 1 if the crease has any associated paper break or fold-through that is not fully visible in this scan.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. The COMC watermark obscures a significant portion of the surface, making surface condition assessment unreliable. Corners appear visibly rounded at all four tips, consistent with a VG to VG-EX range; no razor sharpness is evident. Edges show the rough cut typical of 1966 Topps Batman but also appear worn. Gloss appears largely absent with evident toning/aging across the face; no obvious hard creases are confirmed from this photo but the surface texture and wear pattern suggest accumulated handling consistent with a PSA 3 VG, with a possible floor of 2 if hidden creases or staining exist on the reverse. The watermark prevents confident surface grading — range is widened accordingly.
