1966 Topps Batman Red Bat #14A Danger in the Depths — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), so horizontal centering is a meaningful concern. A visible horizontal crease or fold line runs across the middle of the card (approximately through Batman's midsection), which is the single most damaging defect here and alone caps this card in the VG or lower range. Corners show rounding and softening consistent with VG or lower; no razor-sharp corners are present. Surface gloss appears significantly reduced with wear, and there is some general soiling or toning across the image area. The back is not visible, limiting full assessment, but the front crease and corner wear point to a PSA 3 VG as the most likely grade, with a realistic range of 2–4 depending on crease severity and back condition.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 65-70% left / 30-35% right horizontally); top and bottom borders appear more balanced, approximately 55/45 top-heavy - centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners are difficult to assess precisely through the sleeve glare but the upper-left and lower-left corners appear to show some rounding/softening consistent with VG-EX to EX range; the right-side corners are partially obscured by glare. Surface shows what appears to be a horizontal crease or stress line running across the mid-section of the card (visible as a subtle line separating the upper and lower image panels), which if confirmed would cap this at VG-EX (4) or lower. Gloss appears partially intact but muted, consistent with moderate handling wear. Without a clean back view and corner macro shots, the range is widened; the possible crease across the center is the key concern dragging the estimate toward the lower end of the range.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L/R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T/B) - centering is off but not miscut territory. Most critically, there is a clearly visible horizontal crease running across the mid-section of the card face, which is the dominant grade-limiting defect and alone caps this card at PSA 3 or below. Corner assessment through sleeve shows moderate-to-heavy rounding on at least the visible corners, consistent with a VG card. Surface gloss appears diminished with some wear. The crease combined with corner rounding and gloss loss points firmly to VG (3) with VG-EX (4) as an optimistic ceiling only if the crease is shallower than it appears through the sleeve.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B) - moderate but not severe miscut territory, consistent with typical 1966 Topps rough cuts. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most notably the bottom-left and bottom-right corners, placing the card in the VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling consistent with age; no obvious creases are visible in this photo though the image resolution doesn't allow definitive ruling out of light surface wear. Edges appear slightly rough but this is normal for the 1966 Topps Batman production run and not penalized heavily; the seller's 'VgEx' self-assessment aligns reasonably with what is visible, landing this at a PSA 4 estimate with a range of 3-5 depending on back condition and any hidden surface issues.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60-65% right-heavy), top border slightly wider than bottom, approximate L/R ratio 60/40 to 65/35 and T/B near 55/45 — centering is off but not severely OC. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding under inspection, particularly the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface: the COMC watermark obscures the central surface making gloss and print defect assessment difficult; no obvious creases are visible but toning on the white border is apparent along edges. Edges appear slightly rough but consistent with normal 1966 Topps rough-cut characteristics; no staining or major damage visible — best estimate EX (5) with range allowing VG-EX (4) if corner rounding is worse than it appears, or EX-MT (6) if gloss is better than the watermark allows to confirm.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approx 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 T/B — centering is off but not miscut. The seller note flags 'corner wear' and 'staining,' both of which are visible in the image: corners show rounding consistent with a VG-range card, and there is apparent toning/staining on the white border areas. Surface gloss appears reduced. The COMC watermark partially obscures the center of the card, limiting full surface assessment, but no obvious hard creases are visible from this angle. Given confirmed corner rounding and staining, a PSA 3 (VG) is the most likely outcome, with a small chance of 4 (VG-EX) if the staining is mild and corners are less rounded than they appear, or 2 (GOOD) if staining is more pervasive on inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T/B) - centering is off but not miscut territory. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most evident at bottom-left and top-right, consistent with a VG-range card. Surface exhibits clear gloss loss across the face and there appears to be a horizontal crease or stress line running through the mid-section of the card (visible as a subtle tonal shift near center), though the COMC watermark partially obscures confirmation. Edges show some roughness but rough cuts are normal for this set and not penalized heavily; overall wear pattern and corner rounding point to a PSA 3, with a slim upward chance of 4 if the apparent crease is only a fold shadow.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65-70% left), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55-60% top), so left/right roughly 65/35 and top/bottom roughly 55/45 - centering is off horizontally but not catastrophic. Corner assessment is hampered by the CoMC watermark and image resolution, but all four corners appear rounded with visible wear, consistent with a VG-range card. Surface shows noticeable gloss loss across much of the face, and there appears to be general handling wear and possible light surface creasing though no sharp crease is definitively confirmed from this single photo. Edges appear rough/worn but rough cuts are normal for this set; the overall condition package of rounded corners, gloss loss, and off-centering points to a VG (3) grade, with range widened to account for hidden information including back condition and corner detail obscured by the watermark.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T-B), so centering is off but not severely miscut - no adjacent card printing visible. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left most apparent), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. There is a visible horizontal crease/fold line running across the mid-section of the card (clearly visible cutting through the image area), which is a significant surface defect that pushes the grade down; if confirmed as a full crease rather than a printing artifact, this likely caps the grade at 3-4. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some loss, and the white borders show moderate toning. The crease is the dominant grade-limiting factor here - without it the card might grade EX(5), but with it VG(3) to VG-EX(4) is the realistic range.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approximately 55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (approximately 65/35 T/B) - centering is off but within EX-MT range vertically and solid horizontally. Corners appear reasonably sharp with only very light wear visible at the tips; no obvious rounding from this photo, consistent with the seller's 'nice corners' claim. Edges look clean with no visible tears or major nicks, though the rough-cut characteristic of 1966 Topps is noted and not penalized. Surface appears to retain decent gloss with no visible creases corroborating seller's 'no creases' disclosure; some minor print texture/snow is visible in the artwork which is typical of the set. Without corner macro shots or back inspection, the range is widened slightly - could grade as high as NM (7) if corners hold up under scrutiny or as low as EX (5) if gloss loss is more apparent in hand.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-right favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (roughly 60/40 top-bottom) - centering is off but not catastrophic. Corners show light rounding on at least two visible corners (upper-right and lower-left appear softened), consistent with EX/VG-EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and minor toning on the white borders, which is typical vintage aging for this set. No creases are visible in this photo, though the back is unseen and could harbor hidden faults; the off-center left-right ratio is the primary grade limiter here, pushing toward the lower end of the EX range.

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 catastrophically so, no miscut detected. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in frame, consistent with VG-range wear. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light toning on the white border areas, consistent with age. The seller's self-described 'VG' grade aligns with observations - rounded corners and gloss loss place this firmly in PSA 3 territory, with a slight chance of reaching 4 VG-EX if corners are better than they appear under the sleeve; back is unseen and could reveal creases or staining that would push toward a 2.
