1966 Topps Batman Red Bat #17A Link to Lincoln — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (upper-left and lower-left are most visible), consistent with a VG-VG-EX range card. Surface shows noticeable wear and toning on the white border areas, with some apparent soiling or staining on the upper-right corner region. Gloss appears largely gone, and there is visible paper stress or possible light crease evidence in the lower-left quadrant. The card falls in the VG (3) to VG-EX (4) range; the corner damage and surface wear prevent a higher estimate, and no catastrophic creases or tears visible prevent a lower one.

Centering: left border appears roughly 10-12% wider than right border, and top border slightly wider than bottom — estimating approximately 55/45 left-to-right and 58/42 top-to-bottom, which is acceptable for mid-high grade. Corners: at this resolution all four corners appear relatively sharp with only minor blunting visible, consistent with EX-MT to NM range; no obvious rounding. Edges: cuts appear reasonably clean with no dramatic rough chipping beyond what is normal for this vintage Topps issue. Surface: gloss appears intact across most of the face with no visible creases, staining, or print defects beyond expected vintage print snow; however, the photograph does not allow for close corner or edge inspection, and the back is unseen, widening the range. A conservative estimate of PSA 6 EX-MT is most likely, with 7 possible if corners hold up under close examination.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 65-70% left-heavy), top border slightly wider than bottom — L/R approximately 65/35, T/B approximately 55/45, indicating off-center condition. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible at this resolution, particularly lower-left and upper-left, consistent with VG to VG-EX wear. Surface shows what appears to be a diagonal crease or score line running across the upper-left quadrant of the card face, which if confirmed would cap the grade at VG (3) or lower. Gloss appears reduced overall with some toning on the pink borders; the COMC watermark partially obscures the center surface making definitive surface assessment difficult, but the crease-like mark and rounded corners most plausibly place this in the 2-4 range with a point estimate of 3 (VG).

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top and bottom borders look close to 55/45 — within EX-MT tolerance. Corners: the two visible left corners show mild-to-moderate softening consistent with light rounding; right corners are harder to assess at this distance but appear slightly worn. Surface gloss looks reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible in this photo, which supports the seller's EX-MT claim. Edges appear clean with no notable fraying; the slight card bow visible in the photo is likely photographic rather than a physical warp. Back condition is unknown and could move the grade in either direction; the 5–7 range reflects that uncertainty alongside the corner softening observed.

Centering estimate: left border ~10%, right border ~15%, top border ~12%, bottom border ~20% — off-center bottom-heavy at roughly 80/20 T/B and 60/40 L/R, consistent with EX to EX-MT range. Corners appear to show light-to-moderate rounding, particularly visible at lower left and lower right, suggesting EX (5) territory rather than NM. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible but the COMC watermark partially obscures the lower left corner detail. Surface gloss appears moderate with some toning consistent with a 57-year-old card; no creases are visible in this image, but the back is unseen and fine surface wear cannot be fully ruled out. The rough-cut edge texture is normal for this 1966 Topps issue and has not been penalized.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at approximately 60/40 T-B — centering is off but not catastrophic. Corners show visible rounding on at least the lower-left and upper-left corners visible in frame; no corners appear sharp or near-mint. Surface shows some gloss loss consistent with handling; there is slight toning on the white border areas typical of this 1966 issue. No obvious creases are visible from this photo, though the angle and image quality make it impossible to rule out light surface creases — the lack of a confirmed crease keeps this out of VG (3) territory provisionally. Edge wear appears moderate. The rough cut on the right edge is consistent with normal 1966 Topps production and is not penalized. Overall condition points to a VG-EX (4) most likely, with EX (5) possible if corners are better than they appear and no hidden creases exist, and VG (3) possible if surface issues are worse than visible.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 T/B - left-to-right centering is the primary concern and approaches OC territory. Corners: upper-left corner shows a visible crease or fold/stress line running diagonally, clearly visible in the photo; the other three corners appear to have light-to-moderate rounding consistent with EX range. Surface: gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious heavy scratching or staining visible; some minor print texture normal for the issue. Edges: cut appears within normal vintage Topps rough-cut tolerance. The upper-left corner crease/stress is the grade-limiting factor, pulling the estimate toward EX (5) rather than EX-MT (6); back not visible so creases or staining there cannot be ruled out, hence the range extends down to VG-EX (4).

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) — centering is acceptable for EX-MT range, no OC concern. Corners appear mostly sharp with only very light wear visible at one or two corners, consistent with EX to EX-MT. Surface shows good gloss retention with no obvious creases visible; minor print texture/snow typical of the 1966 Topps Batman issue is present but not penalized. Edges look clean and reasonably cut — rough edge texture noted but treated as normal for this vintage issue. The back is not visible, and corner closeups are unavailable, so a range of 5-7 reflects honest uncertainty about subtle corner rounding or surface wear that may not resolve at this photo distance.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B), so top-heavy but not severely off-center. Corners: all four appear to have mild to moderate rounding visible at this resolution — upper left and lower right show the most wear, consistent with EX-MT to EX range; no corner is sharp enough to suggest NM territory. Edges appear reasonably clean with the typical rough-cut texture normal for this 1966 Topps issue, no severe chipping visible. Surface shows good gloss retention overall with no obvious creases or heavy staining, though the COMC watermark partially obscures the lower-center surface; print quality looks typical for the set with minor snow possible but not decisive. Back is unavailable. The COMC watermark limits full surface assessment, and corner closeups are not available, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approximately 55/45 L/R), top border moderately wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T/B) — both within EX-MT range. Corners appear reasonably sharp at this resolution with no obvious rounding visible on the top-left or top-right corners; bottom corners are slightly harder to assess but show no gross wear. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creasing visible, consistent with the seller's 'hg6' self-grading. Edges show normal 1966 Topps rough-cut characteristics which are not penalized. No staining, print defects or major flaws detected from this single front image; back and corner macro shots would be needed to confirm upper boundary.

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T-B) — centering is noticeably off but not miscut territory. All four corners show visible rounding and wear, with the bottom-left corner appearing the most degraded. Surface shows moderate gloss loss across much of the card with what appears to be light handling wear and some toning on the white border areas. The card has a curved/bowed appearance suggesting it has been stored without protection for some time; no obvious hard creases are visible in this image but the bow and surface wear push this into VG range, with the corner condition the primary grade limiter — a back-side crease (which cannot be confirmed here) could pull this to a 2.
