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: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), so horizontal centering is a meaningful concern. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding and softening, consistent with moderate to heavy handling wear - no sharp corners remain. Surface: gloss is largely gone, the card shows overall surface wear and likely light creasing; the upper-left area shows wrinkling or a fold consistent with a crease. Edges: rough but consistent with vintage 1966 Topps cuts, not penalized heavily. Overall the card presents as a PSA 3 (VG) candidate - rounded corners, gloss loss, probable crease, and off-centering; PSA 4 is possible if the surface crease impression is shallow, PSA 2 if creasing is more severe than the photo reveals.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border appears noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B) - centering is off but not severely so. Corners appear to show light rounding, particularly visible at lower left and lower right, consistent with an EX range card; no razor-sharp corners evident. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible in this image, though the photo resolution limits crease detection with certainty. Edges appear reasonably clean with no egregious chips or tears; some minor border toning consistent with vintage 1966 Topps stock. Back cannot be assessed, and corner wear detail is limited by the single mid-distance shot, so the range is widened to account for possible light surface wear or hidden crease.

Centering: left border appears notably thinner than right (estimated ~60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly thinner than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so, no adjacent card printing visible so no miscut. Corners: the visible lower-left and lower-right corners show mild-to-moderate rounding consistent with EX to VG-EX range; upper corners are partially obscured by the artwork but appear similar. Surface and gloss: image shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible from this angle, though the photo cannot confirm the back or rule out a light surface crease entirely. Edges appear slightly rough but that is typical for 1966 Topps Batman; overall the card presents as a solid EX candidate, but corner wear and off-centering prevent a higher estimate.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~60% right-heavy), top border slightly tighter than bottom - approximate L/R ratio roughly 65/35 and T/B roughly 55/45, suggesting off-center but not severely miscut. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most pronounced at the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss with some visible scuffing/wear across the face - no obvious hard creases are detectable in this image but lighting conditions could obscure shallow ones. White borders show light toning and edge wear typical for the set; no staining, writing, or paper loss visible. The combination of rounded corners, gloss loss, and off-center layout points to a VG-EX (4) most likely, with EX (5) possible if corners are sharper than they appear and no hidden creases exist on the back.

Centering: Left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~65/35 L-R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T-B), so centering is off but not catastrophic. Corners: All four corners show visible rounding and wear - upper corners appear softer than lower, consistent with handling wear. Surface: There is evident gloss loss across the face with some toning/aging on the white border areas; the image area shows expected vintage print characteristics but no obvious major creases visible from this angle, though the surface texture suggests possible light surface wear or stress lines that could be revealed under closer inspection. Edges: Rough but consistent with normal 1966 Topps cutting; some fraying visible. Overall the card presents as a solid VG (3) with VG-EX (4) as an optimistic ceiling if no hidden creases exist on the back - the corner rounding and gloss loss are the primary grade limiters.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 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 overall. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-left appear most worn), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light toning/aging on the white border areas, typical for the vintage. No obvious creases are visible from this photo, though the image resolution makes it difficult to rule out light surface creases definitively. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major tears or paper loss; some minor wear consistent with age. Back cannot be assessed. The range reflects uncertainty about hidden surface wear and corner condition under closer inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not severely OC. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on the visible corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; no razor sharpness but no severe blunting either. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some light wear and typical vintage print texture; no obvious creases or staining are visible in the image, though the COMC watermark obscures some surface detail. Edges appear reasonably clean with minor roughness typical for 1966 Topps rough-cut stock; the overall presentation suggests an honest EX (5) with range widened to 4-6 due to inability to assess corners and back from this single COMC scan.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approx 60/40 L/R favoring right), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is workable but not tight. Corners show visible rounding/wear on at least the visible lower-left and upper-right corners, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears reduced with some toning on the white border areas typical of this issue. The COMC watermark obscures the center of the card, preventing reliable assessment of print snow, surface creases, or scratches in that zone — this uncertainty widens the range meaningfully. No obvious hard crease is visible but cannot be ruled out under the watermark; edges appear reasonably clean with no miscut detected.

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 estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55% top) - overall centering is roughly 55-60/40-45 in both axes, acceptable for EX range. Corners: at this resolution all four corners appear to have light rounding rather than sharp points - no corner is visibly blunted or heavily worn but none show razor sharpness, consistent with EX (5) rather than EX-MT (6). Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible, consistent with normal vintage rough-cut texture for this set. Surface shows apparent gloss retention with no obvious creases visible in this image, though the watermark and photo angle limit crease detection on the image area; white border toning assessment is limited but borders look reasonably clean. Back is not visible, limiting full assessment. Range of 4-6 reflects corner uncertainty - if corners are sharper than they appear at this resolution, a 6 is possible; if there is hidden back-side creasing or heavier corner wear, a 4 is possible.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (roughly 55/45 L/R), top border appears modestly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B) - centering is acceptable for NM-MT range and not a significant grade limiter. Corners appear reasonably sharp with only minor wear visible at the lower-left and upper-right corners; the other two corners look quite clean, consistent with a 7-8 range. Surface gloss appears good with vibrant color and no obvious print defects, staining, or creases visible. Edges look clean with no apparent chips or nicks; the seller's 'high grade beautiful' claim is not contradicted by the photo, but without corner macro shots or the reverse, the range must remain wide - the card grades comfortably in the EX-MT to NM corridor with NM (7) as the most likely single grade.

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (approx 65/35 T/B), so centering is acceptable but off on the vertical axis. Corners: all four corners show some rounding/softening visible at this resolution — no sharp razor points, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface: image shows some general gloss loss and light toning on the white border areas typical of vintage 1966 Topps Batman; no obvious creases visible from this angle but the back is unseen. Edges appear reasonably clean with no miscut detected; rough edge texture is normal for this issue and not penalized. Without corner close-ups and back inspection, the range is held wide; a hidden crease or heavier corner rounding could drop this to a 4, while cleaner corners and back could support a 6.

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.
