1966 Topps Batman Red Bat #12A Boiling Bath — Raw

Centering estimate from front: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left, 40-45% right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45) — centering is acceptable for a 5-6 range. No miscut detected. Corners show some rounding/softness visible even through the case holder, particularly on the lower corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX wear. Surface gloss appears moderate with some dulling but no obvious heavy creases visible on the front; the back text is legible and clean with no staining apparent. The plastic case obstructs a definitive corner and edge assessment, so the range is deliberately widened — a closer inspection of corners and edges out of the holder could move this up to a 6 or down to a 4 depending on what's hidden.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approximately 60/40 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) - centering is acceptable for EX range. Corners show visible light rounding on at least the top-left and bottom-right corners visible in the image, consistent with EX to VG-EX wear. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks or chips visible, consistent with vintage Topps rough-cut norms. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be minor handling wear or print spotting on the costume area of Batman, but no creases are visible in this photo; the back is unseen so hidden creases cannot be ruled out, which widens the range downward.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) - centering is off horizontally but not severely. All four corners show some rounding/wear visible even at this resolution, with the bottom-right corner appearing the most worn. Surface gloss appears moderate with some loss evident, consistent with typical handling wear for a 57-year-old card. No visible creases are detected from this single front photo, but the back is unseen and could harbor hidden defects; the corner wear and moderate gloss loss most comfortably place this in the EX to VG-EX range.

Centering: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~65-70% right-weighted), top border slightly narrower than bottom, estimating approximately 65/35 left-right and 60/40 top-bottom - borderline OC for higher grades. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding consistent with significant handling wear, no sharp points remaining. Surface: the CoMc watermark obscures the center but toning and gloss loss are visible across the card face; the border shows typical 1966 Topps aging/toning. Edges: appear reasonably intact without major chips but show wear consistent with the corner condition; overall the card presents as a solid VG (3) with the rounded corners and gloss loss being the primary grade-limiting factors, though a VG-EX (4) is possible if surface is cleaner than the photo suggests.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R favoring right), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) - centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most notably the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with a VG-range card. Surface shows noticeable toning/aging across the white borders and some gloss loss evident in the image; there is possible light crease activity in the lower-left quadrant though the COMC watermark partially obscures assessment there. Edges appear reasonably intact with no obvious paper loss or tears, consistent with normal vintage handling wear. The COMC watermark prevents full surface assessment, and no back is visible, so the range is widened accordingly - a clean back with no creases could push toward 4, while confirmed creasing would anchor at 2-3.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65-70% left), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55-60% top), placing L/R at roughly 65/35 and T/B at 55/45 - centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-right appear most worn), consistent with VG-EX range. Edges appear reasonably intact with no obvious nicks visible, which is typical of this issue's rough cuts. Surface shows some gloss loss and possible light soiling or toning on the white border areas, consistent with age; no obvious creases are visible from this photo though the COMC watermark obscures the lower-center surface. The off-centering and corner rounding are the primary grade drivers, landing this most likely at PSA 4 VG-EX, with PSA 3 possible if corners are more rounded than they appear and PSA 5 possible if the surface is cleaner than the scan suggests.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60% right-heavy), top border slightly wider than bottom, approximate L/R ratio 60/40 and T/B ratio 55/45 — centering is off but not severely so, no miscut detected. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding visible on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-left appear softer), consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface shows some scattered print snow/speckle typical of this issue, and there appears to be minor gloss loss but no obvious hard creases are visible. The CoMC watermark obscures the center surface somewhat, limiting crease detection; back condition and true corner sharpness are unknowable from this single front image, warranting a widened range.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), so centering is off but not severely OC. Corner wear is the primary concern - the bottom-left and bottom-right corners show visible rounding visible even at this resolution, and the seller note 'READ' suggests self-disclosed issues consistent with corner wear notation. The note 'corner wear' displayed beneath the image confirms this. Surface shows the COMC watermark obscuring center but no obvious creases or heavy staining are visible through the image; gloss appears moderate with some loss. Edges appear reasonably clean for the vintage. The combination of rounded corners and moderate gloss loss points toward VG-EX (4) as the most likely grade, with EX (5) possible if corners are less damaged than they appear and VG (3) if additional back-side flaws exist.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60-65% right-heavy), top border slightly thinner than bottom, approximating L/R ~65/35 and T/B ~55/45 - moderately off-center but not severely so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-right appear soft from this resolution), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. The CoMC watermark blocks evaluation of a significant surface area, preventing assessment of creases, print defects, or gloss in the lower-center zone. Edges appear intact with no obvious tears; card stock shows some aging consistent with a 1966 vintage card. The overall presentation suggests a mid-grade raw card, but the watermark obstruction and limited resolution force a wide range - a hidden crease or surface defect could drop this to a 3, while clean surface and decent corners could support a 5.
