1966 Topps Batman Red Bat #16A Portable Bat Signals — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right by a noticeable margin (~60-65% right-heavy), top border appears slightly larger than bottom, rough L/R ratio approximately 65/35 to 70/30 and T/B approximately 55/45 — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible from this angle (upper-left and lower-left appear soft/rounded), consistent with a VG to VG-EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss with some wear; the CoMC watermark obscures a portion of the lower center making full surface assessment impossible. Edges appear slightly rough but within normal vintage cut tolerance for this set; no creases are confirmed visible but cannot be ruled out beneath the watermark or on the back. Overall presentation points to a VG (3) most likely, with VG-EX (4) possible if corners are better than they appear and no hidden creases exist.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 left-right favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 top-bottom) — not severely off-center but noticeable. The seller note indicates corner wear, and the image confirms this: all four corners show visible rounding/wear, with the upper-left appearing the most degraded, consistent with a VG to VG-EX card. Surface gloss appears partially present but dulled, and there is some toning visible in the border area. No creases are clearly discernible from this photo, but the corner wear and gloss loss point to a grade of 4 (VG-EX) as most likely, with 3 (VG) possible if corners are more rounded than the photo reveals and 5 (EX) if surface is cleaner than it appears under this lighting.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border visibly narrower than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is off but within EX-MT range and not severely problematic. Corners appear lightly worn with slight rounding visible, consistent with EX to EX-MT wear; no corner appears sharply crisp enough to suggest NM territory. Surface gloss appears moderate with some dulling, and the COMC watermark obscures the central image area making full surface assessment difficult. Edges look reasonably clean with no obvious notching or major roughness beyond normal 1966 Topps rough-cut characteristics; no creases are visible, no staining detected, and no writing is apparent — a solid mid-grade example pending back inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly 10-12% wider than right border (approximately 60/40 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners: all four corners show light-to-moderate rounding visible even at this resolution; no sharp points remain, consistent with EX (5) to VG-EX (4) range. Edges appear reasonably clean with the rough-cut texture normal for 1966 Topps Batman and not penalized. Surface shows some gloss loss — the card reads slightly flat in the image, particularly in the lower half — and there is mild toning on the white border areas consistent with age; no creases are visible from this view but the back is unseen. Seller's EX designation aligns with the photo evidence; the point estimate of 5 (EX) reflects rounded corners and surface wear with no crease visible, but the range extends down to 4 if the back reveals wear or a light crease.

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top and bottom borders look close to 55/45 — centering is acceptable for EX-MT range. Corners: all four corners appear reasonably sharp with only minor blunting visible, consistent with light wear; no severe rounding evident. Surface: gloss appears mostly intact with some minor wear; the image shows no obvious creases, staining, or print defects beyond normal vintage print snow typical of this set. Edges appear clean without major chipping or roughness beyond the normal rough-cut character of 1966 Topps Batman; the seller's self-designation of 'hg6' (likely EX-MT) aligns with this assessment, though without corner close-ups or a back view the range cannot be narrowed further.
