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 narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-right favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 top-bottom) — off-center but not severely miscut. Corners show visible rounding on at least the lower-left and upper-left corners visible in the scan; upper-right corner appears softer as well, suggesting general wear consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some mottling and possible light soiling or toning in areas, though the COMC watermark obscures a significant portion of the card face making surface assessment unreliable. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious major nicks visible, but the scan resolution and watermark obstruction prevent confident assessment of gloss retention or crease presence; range widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 left-right skew favoring right), top and bottom borders appear reasonably balanced at approximately 55/45 — centering is serviceable but not tight. The seller's title includes 'READ' which often signals disclosed flaws; 'corner wear' is explicitly noted in the image banner. Corners visible in the scan show rounding consistent with a VG-EX to EX range — upper-left and lower-right corners appear the softest. Surface shows some mottling/spotting on the Batman figure that could be print snow (common in this set) or light soiling; gloss is difficult to fully assess under the COMC watermark but appears reduced. No visible creases are apparent from this scan, which keeps the card out of VG territory, but the confirmed corner wear and apparent surface wear support a VG-EX (4) point estimate with EX (5) as an optimistic ceiling.
