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 narrower than right (approx 60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) - centering is off but not severely so, within EX-MT range horizontally. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding visible on at least two corners (upper left and lower left appear softer), consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some loss, no obvious creases detected but the COMC watermark obscures the center field. Edges appear reasonably clean with normal vintage rough-cut texture for this set; no staining or writing visible, but the watermark prevents full surface assessment, widening the range.

Centering estimate: left border ~6mm, right border ~4mm, top border ~5mm, bottom border ~4mm — approximately 60/40 L/R and 55/45 T/B, which is reasonably centered. However, the card shows significant wear consistent with a VG grade: corners appear rounded with visible softening on all four, particularly the lower-left and upper-left corners. Surface shows overall gloss loss and what appears to be light soiling or toning across the face. There is visible edge wear and the card body shows some wrinkling or light surface creasing — the slight undulation in the card stock is consistent with a handled vintage card in the VG range. The COMC watermark obscures the lower-left corner detail, limiting precision; the range is widened accordingly to account for the possibility of a more pronounced crease hidden under the watermark.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) - centering is reasonably tight and does not appear to be a significant grade detractor. Corners appear to show light wear with minor blunting visible, particularly on the lower-left and upper-right corners, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Edges appear clean with no obvious nicks or rough tears beyond normal vintage cut texture for this series. Surface gloss appears mostly intact with no visible creases, though the COMC watermark obscures a portion of the image making full surface assessment difficult; no staining or print defects are apparent beyond expected vintage print characteristics. The card presents cleanly overall, placing it most likely in the EX-MT (6) range with upside to NM (7) if corners hold up under closer inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top border appears slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) - centering is off but not severely so. The seller note discloses 'staining' which is confirmed visible in the image - there is notable toning/staining particularly in the lower portion of the card face and on the borders, which is a meaningful surface defect. Corner wear is also seller-disclosed and visible; corners show rounding consistent with a VG to VG-EX range. Edges appear slightly rough but within normal vintage parameters for this set. The combination of visible staining, corner rounding, and surface wear collectively drags this card into the VG (3) range as a point estimate, with the staining being the primary grade-limiter; cleaner surface would have put this at a 4. Cannot assess the back from this photo, which widens the range downward.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), so horizontal off-centering is the primary concern but not extreme enough for OC qualifier. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding and softening — no sharp points remaining, consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface: gloss appears moderate with some loss evident; there is visible toning/aging on the white border areas typical of this set, and possible light handling wear across the face. Edges appear intact without major chips or tears, which is consistent with vintage 1966 Topps rough-cut norms. No creases are clearly visible in this photo, though the watermark obscures the center; the condition of the corners and gloss loss point to a VG-EX (4) most likely grade, with EX (5) possible if surface is cleaner than it appears and corners slightly better under direct inspection.

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.
