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 noticeably narrower than right (~60/40 left-right disadvantage), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 top-bottom) - centering is off but not severely miscut, no adjacent card printing visible. Corners show visible rounding on at least the lower-left and upper-left corners as discernible through the sleeve; upper-right and lower-right appear slightly better but still show some wear. Surface shows moderate gloss loss consistent with handling; the card image/print itself appears intact with no obvious heavy creases visible, though a light surface crease cannot be ruled out under the sleeve glare. The white/blue borders show some toning and edge wear typical of the series; no staining or writing noted - overall presentation is consistent with a VG-EX to EX range, with corner rounding being the primary grade limiter.

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.
