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

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border visibly wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable and not OC territory. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most notably the lower-left and upper-left, consistent with a VG (3) grade; no corner is sharp. Surface gloss appears moderately diminished with some light wear; no obvious hard creases are visible in the artwork area from this photo, though the seller's 'VG' self-disclosure and the overall surface flatness suggest possible light handling marks or a soft crease not fully revealed at this angle. Edges appear intact without major nicks but show typical vintage wear. The back is unseen, and corner closeups are unavailable, keeping the range wide between VG (3) and VG-EX (4).

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 noticeably wider than the right (roughly 70/30 left-to-right), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at approximately 60/40, making L/R centering the primary concern and pushing this toward the VG-EX range or below. All four corners show visible rounding and softening — no sharp points remain, consistent with a VG to VG-EX card. The white border on the right edge appears quite narrow and shows some edge wear; the left border is fuller. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling evident, no obvious hard creases are visible in this image (consistent with seller's 'no creases' claim), but overall surface wear and gloss loss suggest moderate handling. The rough-cut edges are typical for the 1966 Topps Batman series and are not penalized; the combination of rounded corners, off-centering, and gloss loss most plausibly lands this at PSA 4 VG-EX, with 3 and 5 as realistic floor and ceiling — a back-of-card inspection for hidden creases or staining could shift this.

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 ~35%, right border ~65% left-to-right, so approximately 65/35 L/R — moderately off; top border appears slightly wider than bottom, roughly 55/45 T/B. White borders show visible toning/yellowing consistent with age. Corners: the top-left corner appears noticeably rounded under inspection, and the bottom corners also show rounding — consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact but there is evident gloss loss and light wear across the face; no obvious hard crease is visible in this scan though subtle surface wear cannot be ruled out. Edges appear intact without major chipping. Overall a mid-grade raw card; the corner rounding and off-centering push this below EX-MT territory, landing most likely at VG-EX (4), with EX (5) possible if corners are slightly better than they appear and VG (3) if the back shows any crease or additional surface wear.

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 estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top and bottom borders look relatively balanced (~55/45 T/B) – centering is off but not severely so. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on all four, most noticeable at the lower-left and upper-left, consistent with an EX range card. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling visible, and there is a faint diagonal surface mark/scratch visible in the lower-left quadrant of the image that may be a light crease or surface scuff – this is the primary grade-limiting concern. Edges look reasonably clean given vintage rough-cut norms for this issue; no miscut detected. The seller's title notation 'hg6' suggests a high-grade 6 estimate which aligns with the photo evidence, though the possible surface scuff and corner wear could push the grade toward a 5 depending on back condition and closer corner inspection.
