1966 Topps Batman Red Bat #16A Portable Bat Signals

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.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 — left-heavy horizontal centering is the primary concern. Corners appear to show light-to-moderate rounding on the visible corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; no razor sharpness is evident but no severe blunting either. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible in this scan; some minor print texture consistent with the era is present. The back is not visible for additional wear assessment, and corner closeups are not available, which widens the range — a true EX (5) feels most likely given the corner rounding and centering, but VG-EX (4) or EX-MT (6) are both plausible depending on back condition and closer corner 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 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.
