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

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55-60% top), suggesting modest off-center but within EX-MT tolerance — call it approximately 65/35 L/R and 60/40 T/B. Corners appear reasonably intact with only very light wear visible on the visible corners; no obvious rounding at this resolution but a slight softness on the lower-left corner is possible. Edges appear clean with no major chipping or tears; the rough-cut texture typical of 1966 Topps Batman is expected and not penalized. Surface gloss appears moderate to good with no visible creases, staining, or print defects, though the card stand obscures the bottom corners and a definitive corner assessment is impossible from this single front-only photo — the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears approximately 10-12% wider than right border (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is respectable and does not appear to be an OC issue. White borders show mild toning consistent with vintage 1966 Topps stock, which is expected and not penalized heavily. Corners appear reasonably sharp from this distance but some very light rounding is suggested at the lower-left and upper-right corners, consistent with an EX-MT (6) grade; a NM (7) ceiling is possible if corners hold up under close inspection. Surface gloss appears present and reasonably intact with no obvious creases, scratches, or print snow visible at this resolution. The card stand obscures the bottom edge slightly, preventing full corner and edge assessment — the back is unseen — so the range is widened accordingly; a strong EX-MT (6) is the most likely outcome.

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.

Centering estimate: left border appears wider than right (roughly 60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T/B) — centering alone is not catastrophic. However, there is a clearly visible diagonal crease running across the lower-center portion of the card face, which is a hard grade-capper; a second horizontal stress line is also apparent near mid-card. Corner wear is evident on all four corners with rounding visible even at this resolution, suggesting heavy handling. Surface gloss appears largely lost, consistent with a VG or lower grade; the crease alone pushes this below EX territory. Overall condition aligns with GOOD (2) to VG (3), with the crease and corner rounding being the primary detractors.
