1966 Topps Batman Red Bat #13A Out on a Limb — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (approx 60/40 L-R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approx 55/45 T-B) — within EX-MT range. Corners appear to have very light rounding with no sharp tips clearly visible at this resolution, consistent with EX to EX-MT wear. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible, though some minor print texture typical of the 1966 Topps Batman issue is expected. Edges appear clean with no major chipping or roughness beyond normal vintage cutting variation for this set; back is not visible so hidden creases or staining cannot be ruled out, warranting a conservative floor of 5.

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 severely so, likely in the 80/20 to 85/15 range on the worst axis. White borders show visible toning/yellowing consistent with age, which is expected on vintage 1966 Topps but still affects grade. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-left appear softer), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some print snow/speckle noise typical of the issue but no obvious creases are visible from this scan; gloss appears partially present but reduced. The card stock and cut look standard for the series — no miscut detected. Back is not visible so hidden flaws (creases, stains, writing) cannot be ruled out, warranting a conservative floor of 3.

Both front and back are visible in the same photo. Front centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border modestly wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a PSA 5-6 range. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on at least two visible corners (bottom-left and bottom-right appear slightly blunted), consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with the rough cut typical of 1966 Topps Batman — no miscut or adjacent card printing detected. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling visible, no obvious creases detected on the front, though the back shows age toning (normal for the issue) and a slight wave to the card stock that may indicate a very light bend; no writing or staining observed. The back-of-card puzzle section shows strong color register. Rough cut on left edge is vintage-normal and not penalized. Grade capped conservatively at 6 given corner wear and gloss loss; floor set at 4 to account for any hidden surface issues on the back not fully resolvable at this resolution.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approx 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. More critically, a visible diagonal crease or fold line runs across the upper-left quadrant of the card, consistent with a corner stress crease; the upper-left corner also appears blunted or rounded. The remaining corners show moderate rounding consistent with handling wear. Surface gloss appears significantly diminished with what looks like a surface wrinkle or crease running across the upper portion — this is the primary grade-killer. Edges appear reasonably intact for the vintage with the expected rough-cut texture normal for this issue. The crease/fold damage caps this card firmly in the VG (3) range with the lower end (2) possible if the crease is deeper than the photo reveals; a 4 ceiling requires the crease to be very shallow, which the photo does not fully support.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L-R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T-B) — centering is acceptable and does not cap the grade. Corners: upper-left and lower-right corners show visible light rounding under inspection; upper-right appears slightly better; lower-left is borderline. No sharp mint corners are evident, consistent with EX (5) territory. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major nicks visible, though the rough cut texture normal for 1966 Topps is present and not penalized. Surface shows good color saturation with no visible creases, staining, or major print defects detected; gloss appears moderate but not full, suggesting some age-related surface wear. The sleeve makes absolute corner and edge assessment difficult, and the back is unseen, so range is widened accordingly — a hidden crease or heavier corner wear could push this toward VG-EX (4).

Both front and back are shown side by side at good resolution. Centering on the front: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border modestly wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — within NM-MT range for top/bottom, slight right-lean left/right. Corners appear reasonably sharp with no obvious rounding visible at this distance, though the lower-left corner shows a very slight hint of softness — consistent with a PSA 7-8 range. Edges look clean with no visible nicks or fraying; the cut appears straight and normal for this issue. Surface gloss looks intact with no visible creases or staining on the front; the back shows expected toning/aging on the cream stock which is typical for this 57-year-old issue and not penalized. The image does not allow tight corner macro inspection, so a range of 6–8 is honest — seller's 'NM' claim is plausible but not confirmable without corner closeups.
