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 left-to-right favoring right), top and bottom borders appear more even at roughly 55/45 top-heavy — centering is noticeably off horizontally. All four corners show visible rounding consistent with VG-EX to VG range; no sharp points remain. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and some toning/soiling, particularly in the lower portion of the card. No obvious hard creases are visible in this photo though the image resolution and display angle could obscure light surface creases; the seller's 'VG/EX' self-assessment aligns reasonably with what is visible. Edges appear intact without major nicks. The mounting in the display page limits a definitive read on the left and bottom edges.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (~60% right-heavy), top border slightly larger than bottom, roughly 65/35 L-R and 55/45 T-B — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible at this resolution, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface appears to have some gloss loss and possible light soiling or wear across the face, though the COMC watermark obscures the lower-center area making a clean surface read impossible. Edges look reasonably intact with no gross tears evident; no creases are clearly visible but cannot be ruled out under the watermark. The rough cut on the right edge is within normal parameters for this 1966 Topps issue and is not penalized.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at roughly 55/45 T-B — centering is off but not catastrophic. The seller title includes 'READ' which often signals disclosed flaws, and the note at the bottom confirms 'corner wear.' Corner wear is visible even at this resolution, with at least two corners showing rounding consistent with a VG-EX or lower grade. Surface appears to have some spotting or print snow on the costume area, which is period-normal for this issue and should not be heavily penalized. Gloss appears moderate with no obvious creases visible from this angle, but the COMC watermark and image scale limit corner and edge inspection confidence — the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65/35 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T-B), so horizontal centering is a meaningful concern but not catastrophic. All four corners show visible rounding and wear — no sharp points remain, consistent with VG to VG-EX range. Edges show roughness and what appears to be chipping or fraying, particularly along the top and left edges; rough cuts are normal for this issue but the degree here suggests genuine handling wear beyond manufacturing variance. Surface gloss appears heavily worn with significant loss across the face, and there is possible light soiling or toning on the white border areas. No crease is definitively confirmed from this photo but cannot be ruled out given the surface wear; the combination of rounded corners, edge wear, and gloss loss anchors this card firmly in the PSA 2–4 range with PSA 3 (VG) as the most likely single grade.
