1966 Topps Batman Red Bat #11A Landing a Big One — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not severely OC. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (upper-left and lower-left are most visible), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and some light handling wear; there is a noticeable dirty/worn area in the upper-left quadrant of the card face that could indicate a soft surface crease or soil. Edges appear intact without major chips. Back is not visible so creases cannot be ruled out; the surface condition and corner rounding push this toward a 4 VG-EX as the most likely grade, with EX (5) possible if the surface wear is lighter than it reads in photo.

Centering: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top border is thin to near-absent while bottom carries moderate border — approximately 80/20 T-B, a meaningful off-center condition. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding; no sharp points are discernible at this resolution, consistent with a VG to VG-EX range at best. Surface: significant toning or soiling is evident across the top white border area, with apparent gloss loss and possible light surface wear across the image; the card stock looks slightly soft. Edges: appear reasonably intact for a vintage 1966 issue with no obvious chips visible, though the angled photo and stand obstruct full edge inspection — back is unseen, preventing crease confirmation, but the overall presentation suggests a PSA 3 VG is the most likely outcome with a VG-EX 4 possible only if surface wear is lighter than it appears.

Centering estimate: left border ~8mm, right border ~5mm, top border ~6mm, bottom border ~4mm, yielding approximately 62/38 L/R and 60/40 T/B - centering itself would not be the primary issue. However, the card displays severe surface damage: multiple heavy diagonal creases are clearly visible crossing the face of the card, the most prominent running from upper-center down through the mid-card area. White border shows significant toning and edge wear. Corners appear heavily rounded. The overall surface texture and crease pattern is consistent with a PSA 1 PR-FR to PSA 2 GOOD at best; the deep, structural creases crossing the image push this toward the bottom of the scale. No trimming or paper loss is evident from this view, but the crease damage alone is grade-defining.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B), so horizontal centering is a meaningful concern. Corners show visible rounding on at least the upper-left and lower-left corners, consistent with a VG range card; the lower-right corner also appears soft though the shadow obscures it somewhat. Surface shows moderate gloss loss with what appears to be general wear across the card face; no definitive crease is confirmed from this photo but the soft focus prevents ruling one out. Edges appear intact without major chips or tears, which is consistent with the 1966 Topps Batman stock. The photo blur prevents confident assessment of fine surface detail, creases, or print defects, warranting a widened range of 2–4 with a point estimate of 3 (VG).

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners appear lightly rounded on at least the visible lower-left and upper-left corners, consistent with moderate handling wear placing this in EX to VG-EX territory. Surface gloss appears present but slightly dulled; no obvious creases are visible in this scan, though the image resolution limits certainty about fine surface breaks. Edges look clean without major nicks; the rough-cut texture typical of 1966 Topps Batman is present and not penalized. Back and corner close-ups are unavailable, so the range is widened accordingly — a hidden crease or heavier corner wear could push this toward a 4.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B), so centering is off but not severely miscut — no adjacent card printing visible on any edge. Corners: the upper-left corner shows the most visible wear with some rounding; upper-right and lower corners appear slightly soft but not heavily blunted — consistent with EX to EX-MT range. Surface and gloss: the image shows reasonable gloss retention with some minor print texture/grain visible (normal for this issue); no creases are evident from this photo, though the back is unseen. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major nicks visible, though the card shows the slight toning on the cream border typical of the 1966 Topps Batman set; a grade of 5 EX is the most likely outcome pending back inspection, with 6 EX-MT possible if corners are sharper than they appear and the back is clean.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 65/35 L-R), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 T-B — centering is off but not severely so. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range; no corner is sharp, but none appears fully blunted either, suggesting moderate wear. Surface: some gloss loss is visible across the face with a slightly matte/dull appearance in areas, and there is light toning on the white border consistent with age — no obvious creases are detectable from this single front photo, though the back cannot be assessed. Edges appear intact with no major chips or tears; the rough-cut texture typical of 1966 Topps Batman is present on the left edge and should not be penalized. Overall the card presents as a VG-EX (4) candidate, with EX (5) possible if the back and corners are cleaner than they appear here.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65-70% left / 30-35% right horizontally); top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 vertically) — left-to-right centering is a meaningful concern, potentially approaching OC territory though camera angle may be exaggerating this somewhat. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible (top-left and bottom-left appear soft/rounded); right-side corners are partially obscured by angle but suggest similar wear. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light handling wear; no obvious creases are visible in this photo but the card stock looks fatigued. Edges appear reasonably intact given the vintage rough-cut norm for this set. Back is not visible so staining, writing, or creases on reverse cannot be assessed — grade range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so, likely within VG-EX range. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (upper left and lower left appear softened), consistent with moderate handling wear. Surface gloss appears partially intact but dulled, suggesting some wear across the face; no obvious hard creases are visible in this scan though the image resolution limits certainty on fine surface creases. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chips, consistent with normal vintage handling; white borders show light toning typical of this 1966 issue. The range is widened slightly because corner and surface detail cannot be fully resolved at this scan resolution — a close-up corner inspection could move this up to a 5 or confirm a 3.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 65/35 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T-B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. All four corners show visible rounding and soft wear, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range; no corner is sharp. Surface shows moderate gloss loss across the face with some light scuffing or handling wear visible in the mid-card area; no obvious hard creases are visible from this photo but the diffusion from the sleeve makes it difficult to rule out a light surface crease. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major nicks visible. The sleeve obscures fine corner and edge detail, so the range is widened accordingly — a light crease hidden by glare could push this to a 3, while clean surface under examination could support a low 5.

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (estimated ~60/40 L/R), top and bottom borders appear relatively even at roughly 55/45 T/B — centering is acceptable for NM-range consideration. Corners appear reasonably sharp from this distance with no obvious heavy rounding visible on any of the four corners, though the lower-left corner may show the faintest hint of softening. Surface gloss appears intact with no creases visible; color saturation is strong with no obvious print snow or toning on the pink borders. Because this is a single seller photo without corner macro shots or a back view, the range is kept wide — hidden edge wear or a reverse crease cannot be ruled out, so the ceiling is conservatively set at 8.

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 reasonably close to square, no severe shift. Corners: top-left and bottom-left corners show slight softening visible at this resolution; top-right appears relatively sharp; bottom-right less clear but appears moderate. Surface gloss appears present with no obvious creases detected; the seller title 'hg6' (likely 'high grade 6') aligns with an EX-MT assessment. Edges appear intact with normal vintage rough-cut texture for this issue. No print snow or toning anomalies readily apparent, though fine surface wear cannot be ruled out from a single non-closeup photo — back condition unknown.
