1966 Topps Batman Blue Bat #7B The Grim Gladiator — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T-B), so centering is off but not catastrophically miscut. All four corners show visible rounding/wear - upper-left and lower-left appear most worn, consistent with a VG-range card. Surface shows general gloss loss across the face and what appears to be light creasing or handling wear in the lower-left quadrant; the image is slightly soft making crease confirmation difficult. Edges appear reasonably intact with no obvious tears or paper loss, but the overall presentation of worn corners, gloss reduction, and possible surface crease puts this squarely in the VG (3) neighborhood, with VG-EX (4) possible if the suspected crease is only a surface scuff and GD (2) possible if creasing is more severe than the photo reveals.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable, roughly within NM-MT range. Corners show mild rounding at two or more corners (most visible at bottom-left and top-right), consistent with light handling wear suggesting EX-MT to NM territory. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible from this angle, though the single front-only photo cannot confirm the back condition or rule out hidden surface creases. Edges appear clean with no significant chipping; the slightly soft corners cap the grade around 6-7, and without corner macro shots or a back view, a wider range is warranted.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 55/45 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B), so centering is acceptable but not tight — no miscut detected. Corners: all four corners show some rounding visible even at this resolution, particularly the lower-left and upper-left; no razor-sharp points present, suggesting moderate wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with no obvious creases visible from this angle, though some light wear and possible minor gloss loss are suggested by the scan. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chips or tears; vintage rough-cut texture is noted but not penalized per 1966 Topps norms. Back cannot be assessed from this image, which widens the range; a hidden crease or stain on reverse could push the grade lower.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55–60% left), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60–65% top) — roughly 60/40 L/R and 65/35 T/B, which is passable but not tight. All four corners show visible rounding/wear, most notably the lower-left and upper-left; no corner is sharp enough for NM territory. Surface gloss appears partially intact but dulled, consistent with moderate handling and age-related gloss loss. No creases are clearly visible in this photo, though the lower-left shadow obscures that corner; if crease-free, a VG-EX (4) is the most likely grade, but corner rounding may push it toward VG (3) on closer inspection — a range of 3–5 reflects that uncertainty.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 65/35 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not severely miscut territory. All four corners show visible rounding and wear, most pronounced on the upper-left and lower-left corners, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears partially retained but there is evident toning/aging on the white border areas, and the card shows the typical 1966 Topps rough-cut edges which are not penalized for this set. No creases are clearly visible from this scan, though the scan resolution limits definitive surface assessment; if a crease is present it would drop the grade to 3. The seller notes this as a Scanlens printing (Australian issue), which is a recognized regional variant within the 1966 Batman family and does not constitute a mismatch, though PSA would label it accordingly on the flip.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), so horizontal centering is the primary concern and could approach OC territory on the right side. Corners appear to show light rounding at the visible corners - no sharp points are discernible at this resolution, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases visible, which aligns with the seller's EX claim. Edges look reasonably clean with no obvious tears or major nicks, though the rough cut typical of 1966 Topps is noted and not penalized. The mounting presentation and image distance limit confident corner and surface assessment, warranting a widened range of 4-6.
