Index grading notes

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 off but not severely so, likely in the 70-80/20-30 range. All four corners show visible rounding/wear, most notably the upper-left and lower-left corners which appear blunted rather than sharp, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some loss of gloss and there appear to be light handling marks or minor creasing in the lower portion of the card, though the CGC watermark obscures precise surface assessment. Edges appear reasonably intact without major nicks for a vintage 1966 card; no staining or writing visible, but the combination of rounded corners and apparent surface wear places this solidly in the VG-EX (4) range with EX (5) possible if surface wear is lighter than it appears.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 65-70% left / 30-35% right), and top border appears slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 top-bottom) — left-right tilt is the primary centering concern, likely in the 70/30 range. Corners show what appears to be light-to-moderate rounding on at least the visible corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; no razor sharpness is evident. Surface gloss appears present but somewhat diminished, with no obvious creases visible in this scan, though the back is unseen. Edges appear reasonably clean with no alarming fraying visible, consistent with vintage rough-cut norms for this issue; the overall presentation suggests an honest mid-grade raw card in the EX to VG-EX neighborhood.

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly 15-20% wider than right border (approximately 65/35 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B), so centering is acceptable but left-heavy. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in this image — lower left and upper left appear the most worn with light rounding, pushing this below EX-MT territory. Surface shows moderate gloss loss consistent with age and handling; there is visible toning/yellowing on the white border areas which is typical for 1966 Topps Batman but still impacts grade. No obvious creases are visible from this photo, though the back is unseen and could reveal additional issues; edges appear reasonably intact with no major nicks visible but some roughness consistent with period cuts. A PSA 4 VG-EX feels most likely given the corner wear and gloss loss, with 5 EX possible if corners are slightly better than they appear at this resolution.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right side being wider), top border appears slightly tighter than bottom, perhaps 55/45 T-B - centering is imperfect but not severely OC. Corners show visible rounding and softening at all four tips, most notably the lower corners, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears reduced with some general wear; the COMC watermark obscures the center field making it impossible to fully assess surface creases, print defects, or staining. Edges appear intact without major tears but show typical vintage handling wear; given the corner rounding and gloss loss visible, a VG-EX (4) point estimate is most likely, though a crease hidden under the watermark could push this to VG (3), and cleaner surface than apparent could support EX (5).

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), so left-right centering is a meaningful concern but not extreme. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in this view, consistent with a VG-range card. Surface shows general gloss loss and what appears to be light toning/wear across the card face; the CoA watermark obscures the lower third making a full surface read impossible. Edges appear reasonably intact with no obvious tears, but the overall presentation — rounded corners, gloss reduction, and possible light creasing not fully distinguishable through the watermark — points to a VG (3) grade as most likely, with VG-EX (4) possible if corners are better than they appear and EX (5) effectively ruled out by the corner wear visible.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60-65% right-heavy), top border slightly wider than bottom, approximate L/R ratio 65/35 and T/B near 55/45 - centering is off but not catastrophically so, no miscut detected. Corners show light to moderate rounding visible at all four corners, most notably the lower-left and upper-left, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with normal rough-cut texture expected for this vintage issue. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling, and the CoMC watermark obscures the lower-center surface preventing full evaluation of that zone for scratches or creases - no obvious creases visible in accessible areas. Overall condition reads as EX (5) most likely, with VG-EX (4) possible if corner rounding is more pronounced than the scan reveals, and EX-MT (6) possible if the obscured surface is cleaner than assumed.
