1966 Topps Batman Red Bat #25A In the Bat Lab — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T/B), so centering is off but not catastrophic. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most pronounced at the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with a VG-range card. Surface shows apparent gloss loss and what appears to be a light crease or fold line running through the upper-left quadrant of the card face, which if confirmed would push this firmly into VG (3) or lower. Edges show some fraying consistent with age and handling. Back cannot be assessed from this photo; if the crease is deeper than it appears, grade could drop to 2.

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly 10-12% wider than right border (approximately 60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom at roughly 55/45 T/B – centering is acceptable and not a significant grade driver here. Corners are the primary concern: all four corners show visible rounding/blunting, with the upper-left and lower-left appearing softer than the right-side corners, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be minor handling wear across the face; no creases are clearly visible in this photo but cannot be ruled out on the back. Edges appear reasonably intact with no obvious tears or chips, though the rough cut typical of 1966 Topps Batman is noted and not penalized. Card places most naturally at VG-EX (4), with EX (5) possible if corners are slightly sharper than they appear and the back is clean; VG (3) is the floor if hidden creasing or heavier surface wear is present on the reverse.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable and would not cap the grade. Corners: from this distance the corners appear to show light rounding, particularly visible at lower-left; no corner is sharp enough to suggest NM-MT range but none appears severely blunted either, consistent with EX to EX-MT. Surface and gloss: the card shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible in the image; some minor print grain is present which is typical for this set. Edges: appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible, though the rough-cut characteristic of 1966 Topps Batman makes edge assessment from a single photo unreliable; back is not shown, so staining, creases, or writing on the reverse cannot be ruled out, which is the primary source of uncertainty keeping the ceiling at 6.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B) — off-center but not catastrophically so for this notoriously rough-cut vintage set. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible from this angle, consistent with moderate wear. Surface shows some gloss loss and light toning on the white border areas; no obvious crease is detectable from this image, but the image resolution limits confidence. Edges appear reasonably intact with no severe chipping. The combination of corner rounding, gloss loss, and notable left-right centering issue places this card in the VG-EX to EX range; without a crease confirmed, a 4 is the most likely grade, but condition could slip to 3 if reverse shows wear or a hidden crease exists.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L/R favoring right), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at approximately 60/40 — centering is off but not catastrophically so. The white borders show visible toning/yellowing consistent with age, and the surface displays what appears to be moderate gloss loss or wear across the face of the card, possibly light scuffing or printing-era surface texture. Corner detail is difficult to resolve precisely in this scan, but at least two corners (upper-left, lower-left) appear to show some rounding or softening rather than sharp points, suggesting wear in the VG-EX to EX range. No creases are visible in the image, which is encouraging, but the surface mottling and toning prevent a higher ceiling; the photo cannot confirm the back condition or reveal hidden creases.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (~70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at roughly 55/45 T/B – centering is off but not catastrophic. Corners show visible rounding/blunting, particularly the upper-left and lower-left, consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some toning on the white border areas and mild gloss loss, typical of circulated 1966 Topps stock. No creases are clearly discernible from this photo but the image resolution limits definitive assessment of surface creases or paper stress lines; the back is unseen. Given rounded corners and off-centering, PSA 4 (VG-EX) feels most probable, with EX-5 possible if corners are crisper than they appear and EX-MT-6 effectively ruled out by the corner wear visible.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~60-65% left vs 35-40% right), top border slightly wider than bottom, roughly 55/45 T/B — centering is off but not severely so, perhaps 65/35 L/R. The card is housed in a hard plastic holder creating glare that obscures corner and surface detail significantly. What is visible suggests moderate corner wear with some rounding, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. The white borders show some toning/dirtying typical of the set's age. No obvious creases are visible from this image, but the glare and case prevent confident assessment of surface gloss and fine corner condition. Given the limitations of the single photo through a case, a range of 3–5 is honest; most likely a 4 (VG-EX) if corners are merely rounded without crease, dropping to 3 if a crease is present on the back or hidden by glare.

Centering: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 left-right), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at approximately 55/45 top-to-bottom — centering is off but not catastrophic. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding and softening, consistent with significant handling wear; no corner is sharp. Edges: rough cut texture typical of the 1966 Topps Batman issue, no miscut detected. Surface: there is a diagonal crease or fold line visible running through the upper-left quadrant of the card image, which is the most significant grade-limiting defect here; gloss loss is moderate and consistent with a card in the VG to VG-EX range. The crease pushes this toward the lower end of the range; absent the crease the card might reach EX (5), but with it VG-EX (4) or VG (3) is most realistic depending on crease depth confirmed in hand.

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (roughly 65/35 T/B) — off-center but not severely miscut. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most notably the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and there is a diagonal crease or score line visible running across the upper-left quadrant of the card face, which is the most significant grade-limiter here — if confirmed as a hard crease this caps the grade near 3-4. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chips, consistent with the vintage rough-cut norm for this issue. The back cannot be assessed from this photo; if the crease is a surface wrinkle rather than a hard fold, the grade could reach 5, but the visible distortion in the image art makes a hard crease the more likely call, pointing to a 4 as the most probable outcome.

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 left-right favoring right), top border appears slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 top-bottom) — modest but not severe off-centering, within EX-MT range. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding visible at multiple corners, most notably the lower-left and upper-left, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears present but reduced, with some toning on the white border areas typical for this 1966 issue. No creases are visible from this photo, though the back cannot be assessed. Edges appear reasonably clean with no catastrophic chipping; rough cut texture is normal for this set and not penalized. Overall, the card presents as a mid-grade example in the EX to EX-MT range pending back inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not severely so, no miscut detected. Corners: the top-left corner shows a small but visible white bump/nick visible even at this resolution, and top-right appears to have a slight push; bottom corners are better but show light rounding consistent with handled vintage stock. Surface: some light gloss loss is apparent across the face, consistent with age and handling; no obvious creases are visible from this angle, but the back is unseen. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major nicks visible; the seller's EX/EX-MT self-assessment aligns with the visible evidence, placing this in the PSA 5–6 range, with the corner wear and gloss loss nudging the point estimate toward 5.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 65/35 L-R), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at roughly 55/45 T-B - centering is off horizontally but not severely. Corners: three visible corners appear slightly soft with very light rounding, not razor sharp but not significantly blunted - consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface: gloss appears reasonably intact with no visible creases confirmed by inspection, consistent with seller's 'no creases' claim; some minor print texture visible which is typical for this set. Edges appear clean with no major chipping; the rough-cut texture on the left edge is characteristic of the 1966 Topps Batman series and is not penalized. Single-photo limitation prevents corner and back assessment, and the slight camera angle obscures fine surface detail, so the range is widened accordingly.
