1966 Topps Batman Red Bat #17A Link to Lincoln

Centering estimate: left border notably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders appear roughly 55/45 - centering is off but not catastrophic. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most pronounced on the top-left and bottom-right, consistent with handled vintage stock. The card exhibits noticeable warping/curl which suggests storage stress and possible surface creasing not fully visible from this angle. Surface gloss appears partially present but dulled, with some light toning on the white border areas typical of the set. No obvious hard creases are confirmed from this single photo, but the curl and corner rounding comfortably place this in the VG-EX to EX range; back condition, any hidden creases, and edge wear are unknown and could push the grade lower toward VG (3).

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B), which is acceptable for mid-grade but not mint territory. Corners: the visible corners show some rounding, particularly the lower-left and upper-left, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; upper-right appears slightly better. Surface: the CoMC watermark obscures the center of the card, making it impossible to assess print defects, surface creases, or gloss condition in that zone — a meaningful limitation. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious major chips or tears visible, and color registration looks solid; absent a crease disclosure or hidden surface flaw under the watermark, EX (5) is the most likely grade, but VG-EX (4) is possible if corner rounding is more pronounced than it appears at this resolution.

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (estimated ~60/40 L/R favoring right), top border appears slightly tighter than bottom (~55/45 T/B) - centering is within acceptable NM-MT range on the vertical but slightly pushed left-to-right. Corners appear reasonably intact with mild to moderate wear visible, particularly on the lower-left corner which shows slight rounding; the upper corners look sharper but are harder to assess definitively at this resolution. Surface gloss appears moderate with no obvious creases or staining visible; the red bat logo insert in the lower right shows clean printing. Edges look typical for the vintage cut of this set - no severe chipping or roughness beyond normal 1966 Topps characteristics. The image does not reveal the card back, and corner wear assessment is limited by photo distance, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering: left border appears roughly 10-12% wider than right (approximately 55/45 L/R), top border noticeably thinner than bottom (approximately 65/35 T/B) — acceptable for the grade range but not tight enough for 7+. Corners: all four corners show some rounding/softening visible even at this resolution; no sharp points remain, consistent with EX (5) territory. Surface: the COMC watermark obscures a significant portion of the surface, making it impossible to fully assess gloss retention, print defects, or creases — this is the primary confidence limiter. Edges appear reasonably clean with the typical rough-cut texture normal for this issue. No obvious heavy creases or staining visible in exposed areas, but the watermark prevents ruling out light surface wear; range is widened accordingly.
