1966 Topps Batman Blue Bat #9B Bashed on a Billboard — Raw

Centering estimate: left border visibly narrower than right (~60% of right border width), top border slightly narrower than bottom - approximate L/R ratio ~65/35, T/B ~55/45; centering is off but not severely so. The upper-left corner shows a distinct crease or fold line running diagonally from the top edge - this is the most damaging visible defect and alone caps the grade. All four corners appear rounded to varying degrees, with the upper-left worst due to the crease. Surface gloss is reduced, consistent with handling wear typical of a played 1966 card. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major paper loss, but the crease and corner rounding together place this firmly in the VG (3) range; without the crease it might reach VG-EX (4), but the fold is clearly present and pulls the grade down.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), indicating significant left-right off-centering. All four corners show visible rounding and wear — no sharp corners are evident even through the sleeve, consistent with VG to VG-EX territory at best. Surface shows general gloss loss and what appears to be light soiling or toning across the face; a possible light crease or handling line is suggested near the lower center but the sleeve glare prevents confirmation. Edges appear rough but vintage cuts are normal for this set. Overall the card presents as a PSA 3 VG with rounded corners and surface wear, with a range of 2-4 depending on whether a crease is confirmed on the reverse and exact corner condition under direct examination.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approximately 60/40 L/R), top and bottom borders appear close to even (roughly 55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a mid-to-upper grade. The white borders show some light toning consistent with age but no alarming yellowing. Corners appear to have only light to moderate wear with no obvious severe rounding visible at scan resolution, suggesting mid-grade territory; two corners look reasonably sharp while the remaining two show slight softening. Surface gloss appears present with no obvious creases or heavy scratches visible, though the scan resolution prevents definitive assessment of fine print snow or micro-surface wear. Back condition and corner closeups are unavailable, so the range is widened accordingly — a PSA 6 EX-MT is the most likely outcome pending back inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-to-right), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 — horizontal off-centering is the primary concern here. Corners: at this resolution the corners appear to have light rounding or wear, consistent with EX to EX-MT range; no sharp razor corners visible but no severe blunting either. Surface: gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases, staining, or heavy print defects visible; some minor print texture typical of 1966 Topps is present. Edges appear clean with no major chipping; back cannot be assessed from this photo, and corner sharpness cannot be fully confirmed without a closer macro shot, so the range is widened accordingly.
