1966 Topps Batman Red Bat #28A Victorious Duo — Raw

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (estimated ~60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) - centering is off but not severely so, likely within 80/20 range. Corners show some softening/rounding visible at all four corners, particularly the lower-left and upper-left, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible, though the COM watermark obscures the center of the artwork making a definitive surface assessment difficult. Edges appear relatively clean with no major chipping; vintage rough-cut texture is expected for this issue and not penalized. Overall the card presents in the EX range, but corner wear and the obscured center prevent a confident push above 5-6.

Centering estimate: left border ~8mm, right border ~5mm, top border ~5mm, bottom border ~6mm — approximately 62/38 L/R and 55/45 T/B, so centering itself is not catastrophic but skewed left. However, the seller explicitly discloses edge wear, corner wear, water damage, and creases, all of which are visible or credible from this photo: corners appear rounded rather than sharp, surface shows mottling consistent with water damage/staining, and gloss appears significantly diminished with likely surface creases present. The card does not appear miscut. Water damage alone typically suppresses a card to the VG-to-GOOD range (2-3); combined with corner rounding and disclosed creases, a PSA 3 VG is the most likely outcome, with 2 possible if the back shows heavier staining or crease severity — back condition is unviewable from this image, widening the range downward.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approx 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 60/40 T-B) - left-to-right off-center is the primary concern. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in frame (lower-left and upper-left appear softened/rounded), consistent with a VG-range card. Surface shows significant wear with apparent gloss loss across much of the card face and possible light surface creasing or handling marks in the lower-center area; the border shows toning/dirtying along edges typical of heavily handled vintage stock. Edges appear rough but this is normal for 1966 Topps Batman; no trimming suspected, but the combination of rounded corners, gloss loss, off-centering, and apparent surface wear places this solidly in the VG (3) range, with VG-EX (4) possible if surface wear is lighter than it appears and EX-MT (5) is unlikely given visible corner and gloss degradation.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 65-70% left / 30-35% right), and top border appears slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 top/bottom) - left-right lean is the primary centering concern here, pushing toward EX-MT or lower. Corners: at this photo resolution the corners appear to have light but visible wear with some minor rounding, consistent with EX to EX-MT range; no sharp razor corners are evident. Surface and gloss: the card image shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible from the front, print quality appears typical for the set with no notable print snow issues flagged. Edges appear intact without heavy fraying though the rough-cut texture normal for 1966 Topps is present; the back is not visible so hidden creases or staining cannot be ruled out, warranting a widened range.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 top-bottom), so horizontal centering is noticeably off. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-left appear softer), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some wear and possible light handling marks visible in the scan; gloss appears moderately reduced but no obvious hard creases are visible from this photo. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major nicks visible, and the rough cut on the right edge is typical for the 1966 Topps Batman issue and not penalized. Back is not visible, which could conceal creases or staining and is the primary source of range uncertainty.
