Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears approximately 10-12% wider than right border (roughly 60/40 L/R), top border appears slightly tighter than bottom (roughly 55/45 T/B) - centering is acceptable for NM-MT range and not an OC concern. Corners: all four corners appear reasonably sharp in this photo; no obvious blunting or rounding visible at this resolution, though the bottom-left corner looks very slightly soft - consistent with a 7-8 grade. Edges appear clean with no visible nicks or roughness beyond normal 1966 Topps rough-cut texture. Surface gloss appears strong with good color saturation and no visible creases, print snow appears minimal; however the photo does not allow definitive close-up corner or edge inspection, and the back is unseen, widening the range. Seller's NM/MT+ claim is plausible but cannot be confirmed to 8 without tighter corner photography.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65-70% left bias), top border slightly wider than bottom, yielding approximately 65/35 L/R and 60/40 T/B - meaningful but not catastrophic miscentering. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in the photo (lower-left and lower-right), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. White borders show moderate toning/aging typical of this set, and there is some surface wear/gloss loss evident across the card face. Edges appear somewhat rough but this is consistent with vintage 1966 Topps normal cuts - no confirmed creases are visible from this photo, though the back is unseen. Range is widened to account for unseen reverse and possible hidden surface issues; a clean back with no creases would support the higher end (5), while any crease or additional wear would push toward the lower end (3).

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-to-R favoring right side), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-to-B) — centering is acceptable, no miscut detected. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on at least the visible lower-left and upper-left corners; right-side corners are partially obscured by glare but appear similar. No creases are visible from this image, consistent with the seller's 'L2' notation which likely indicates a light handling grade rather than a crease disclosure. Surface gloss appears present but moderately reduced — consistent with honest handling wear over ~60 years. Edges appear clean with no major nicks. The combination of corner rounding and modest gloss loss points to EX (5) as the most likely grade, with EX-MT (6) possible if corners are sharper than they appear and VG-EX (4) a floor if the back or corner closeups reveal additional wear.

Centering estimate: left border ~35%, right border ~65% L/R (noticeably right-heavy shift); top border ~45%, bottom border ~55% T/B - centering is off but not catastrophic, roughly 65/35 left-to-right which by itself would be borderline NM-MT territory but combined with other wear pushes down. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding and wear - upper-left and lower-right appear most affected with soft, rounded tips rather than sharp points, consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface: there is visible toning/yellowing on the border areas which is age-appropriate for the set; the image area shows moderate gloss retention but there are faint surface scuffs or handling marks visible in the mid-card area near Batman's torso; no obvious hard creases visible from this angle but cannot rule out light creases on back. Edges: appear reasonably intact with no major nicks visible, rough cut texture on right edge is normal for 1966 Topps. Overall the card presents at a solid VG-EX (4) with the corner rounding being the primary grade limiter; EX (5) is possible if corners are better than they appear under the glare.
