1966 Topps Batman Red Bat #24A Tight Squeeze — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T-B) — centering is off horizontally but not catastrophically so. No miscut visible. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding, particularly the top-left and bottom-right, consistent with handling wear; no sharp points discernible at this resolution. Edges appear rough but within normal 1966 Topps production tolerance. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light soiling or toning on the white border, consistent with age; no obvious creases are visible but the soft photo cannot rule out a light surface crease. Overall condition points to a VG-EX (4) neighborhood, with EX (5) possible if corners are slightly better than they appear and no hidden crease exists, and VG (3) possible if a crease is confirmed on closer inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — within acceptable vintage range, no OC concern. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on all four, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; no sharp points visible but no severe rounding either. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible at this resolution; rough cut texture is normal for the 1966 Topps Batman issue. Surface shows some gloss loss and possible light wear but no creases are visible; the COMC watermark partially obscures the center field, preventing a definitive surface assessment. Back not visible, and corner closeups are unavailable, widening the range from VG-EX (4) to EX-MT (6).

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 65-70% left / 30-35% right), and top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 top/bottom) — left-right tilt is the primary centering concern, approaching or at EX-MT cap territory. All four corners show visible rounding and wear, most pronounced at the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with a VG to VG-EX range. Edges appear slightly rough but within normal vintage Topps Batman cut tolerances, no obvious fraying. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some wear-related dulling visible; no creases are detectable in this image, though the back cannot be assessed. The combination of off-center left-right ratio and rounded corners most naturally lands at a PSA 4 VG-EX, with the range spanning 3 (if corner rounding is worse than it appears) to 5 (if centering measures better under calipers and corners are merely light).

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approximately 55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T/B) — within NM-MT range on both axes. Corners appear reasonably sharp from this distance with no obvious rounding visible on any of the four corners, though the lower-left and lower-right corners show slight softening consistent with light handling wear. Edges show the typical rough-cut texture normal for 1966 Topps Batman and should not be penalized. Surface gloss appears intact with good color saturation and no visible creases, staining, or print snow noted; however, a single front-only photo cannot reveal the back condition, edge wear in detail, or subtle surface scratches that can separate a 7 from an 8. Range set at 6–8 with a 7 point estimate pending back inspection and corner closeups.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top and bottom borders appear closer to 55/45 — centering is off but not severely so horizontally. Corners show visible rounding on at least two visible corners (upper left and lower left appear blunted), consistent with moderate wear. The seller note flags 'staining' which is consistent with the image showing some surface toning/soiling visible in the green background area of the artwork. Corner wear and staining together pull this into the VG (3) range; if the back shows a crease or additional staining it could slip to 2 (GOOD). The COMC watermark partially obscures the center surface, limiting full surface assessment, and no back image is available.

Centering estimate: left border ~3mm, right border ~4mm (L/R roughly 55/45 acceptable), top border ~3mm, bottom border ~4mm (T/B roughly 55/45) — centering appears decent overall, no severe OC issue visible. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on all four tips, consistent with an EX grade; no corner is sharp but none appears heavily blunted or frayed. Edges look reasonably clean with no obvious nicks or tears visible, and rough-cut texture is expected for the series. Surface gloss appears moderate with some light wear/gloss loss across the face, consistent with age handling; no creases are visible in this photo though the back cannot be assessed and a hidden crease cannot be ruled out, warranting the lower end of the range. Seller's 'EX' self-assessment aligns with the visible evidence, placing this solidly at PSA 5 with a possible stretch to 6 if corners and back are cleaner than they appear.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (roughly 55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (approximately 65/35 T/B), which is mild but measurable off-centering consistent with EX range. Corners: at this resolution all four corners appear to have light rounding with no sharp points visible — consistent with EX (5) to VG-EX (4) wear; no razor-sharp corners that would suggest 6+. Surface and gloss appear reasonably intact with no obvious creases, staining, or major print defects visible, and the color saturation looks good. Edges appear clean with no major chipping; rough cut texture is normal for this issue and not penalized. The back is not visible, and no closeup corner shots exist, so the range is widened to account for hidden wear; seller's 'EX' self-assessment aligns with the visual evidence.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (approx 60/40 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so, consistent with EX-MT range. Corners appear to have light rounding on at least two corners (most visible at bottom-left and top-left), suggesting minor but present wear consistent with EX to EX-MT. Edges look reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible at this resolution; the rough-cut texture typical of 1966 Topps is present and not penalized. Surface gloss appears intact with good color saturation and no visible creases, staining, or print defects beyond normal print snow for the issue; seller's EX claim aligns with observations, though the card could grade slightly higher if corners hold up under closer inspection. Back not visible, limiting confidence in final grade.

Centering: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a 6-7 range. Corners appear reasonably sharp in this photo with no obvious rounding visible at normal viewing distance, though slight wear on one or two corners cannot be ruled out at close inspection. Surface gloss looks intact with no obvious creases or staining visible; print quality appears clean with good color saturation typical of this series. The photo resolution is good but does not permit tight corner or edge inspection — back is not visible, so no opinion on reverse condition; the range is widened accordingly to account for hidden wear.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for NM-MT range and does not cap the grade. Corner inspection from this single photo shows the top-left corner appears reasonably sharp, but the top edge shows visible fraying/roughness consistent with a rough cut (normal for 1966 Topps Batman and not over-penalized). The bottom-left corner appears slightly softer and the card stock shows some aging/toning on the white border area. Surface gloss appears present but with some light wear evident; no visible creases are detected. The seller's claim of NrMT+ (PSA 7-8 range) seems slightly optimistic given the visible edge wear and corner softness; EX-MT (PSA 6) to NM (PSA 7) is the most defensible range from this single front-only photo, with back condition and corner macro views needed to confirm.
