Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~60-65% left bias), top and bottom borders appear reasonably balanced at roughly 55/45 top-heavy — left/right is the primary concern at approximately 65/35 to 70/30, borderline NM-MT to NM territory on centering alone. Corners appear lightly worn with some softening visible, particularly on the upper-right and lower-left corners, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Edges look reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible at this resolution, consistent with the vintage rough-cut norm for this set. Surface gloss appears present and intact with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects visible, though a single-image front-only photo cannot confirm the back condition or subtle surface issues. The seller's NM claim is slightly optimistic given the left/right centering skew; EX-MT (6) is the most defensible point estimate pending back inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B), which is moderate but not severe. Corners show visible rounding on all four corners visible in the photo, most notably the bottom-left and top-left, consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light wear or very faint handling marks on the yellow field, but no obvious hard creases are visible from this angle. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major nicks visible, consistent with normal handling for a 58-year-old card. The seller's 'VG EX' self-assessment appears honest; the back cannot be assessed and could move the grade downward if creasing is present there.

Both front and back of #4B are shown, which is helpful. Centering on the front: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) - centering is reasonably good. Corners on the front show light wear on at least two corners (most visibly the lower-left and upper-right), consistent with EX-MT to NM range. The back shows some toning/age on the card stock which is typical for 1966 Topps Batman but does suggest handling over time. Surface appears to retain decent gloss on the front with no obvious creases visible; edges look clean with no notable chips or tears. The rough cut on the left edge of the back is within normal vintage parameters for this set. Without corner macro shots the upper range is uncertain, but light corner wear and toning suggest a PSA 6 EX-MT is most likely, with 5 or 7 as reasonable bounds.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55% right-heavy), top border visibly thinner than bottom (~60/40 top-to-bottom) - centering is off but not severely OC. Corners: all four corners show some rounding/wear; top-left and bottom-right appear slightly more worn than the others, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with no gross nicks visible, which is typical for this issue. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light toning/aging on the border areas, consistent with a 55-year-old card; no creases are visible in this image but the back is not shown and micro-creases cannot be ruled out from a single front photo. Overall the card presents as a solid EX (5) candidate, with downside risk to VG-EX (4) if back shows wear or hidden surface issues, and upside to EX-MT (6) if corners are cleaner than they appear at this resolution.
