1966 Topps Batman Red Bat #22A Death Skis the Slopes

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly tighter than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable and does not cap the grade. Surface presents reasonably well with decent gloss retention and no visible creases or staining. Corners are the main unknown from this single photo; at the resolution available they appear to show light wear consistent with EX-MT to NM range, with no obvious rounding or blunting but corner tips cannot be confirmed sharp. Edges look clean with no visible nicks. The seller's 'EX-MT' self-assessment appears reasonable but without tight corner closeups a grade anywhere from EX (5) to NM (7) remains plausible; print quality looks solid with no obvious snow or toning visible on the white border areas.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55-60% right-heavy), top border slightly wider than bottom — approximate L/R ratio 55/45 to 60/40, T/B roughly 55/45; centering is passable but not tight. Corners appear to show light rounding at all four tips, most visible at bottom-left and top-left, consistent with EX to EX-MT range. Edges look reasonably clean with no obvious tears or major nicks, consistent with the rough-cut norm for this 1966 Topps issue. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no visible creases or major staining, though the COMC watermark and image resolution limit a definitive surface read — backs and corner macro shots are unavailable, so the range is intentionally widened.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top and bottom borders appear closer to 55/45 T-B — horizontal centering is a meaningful concern. All four corners show visible rounding under inspection; no corner appears sharp, suggesting wear consistent with VG-EX to EX range. The white borders show light toning/aging consistent with the era and not penalized heavily. Surface gloss appears partially present but dulled, with no obvious creases visible in this photo though the angled lighting makes definitive crease-ruling difficult. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major chips or tears visible; rough cut texture is normal for this 1966 Topps issue and not penalized.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably thinner than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — acceptable for vintage but not tight. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on at least the visible lower-left and lower-right corners; upper corners are partially obscured by angle but appear similarly softened. Surface gloss appears present but reduced, with some toning/aging on the white border areas typical of this issue — no creases visible from this photo. Edges look reasonably clean with no dramatic fraying; a back inspection would be needed to confirm absence of creases or staining that could drop this below EX.
