1966 Topps Batman Red Bat #2A Grappling a Gator — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), so left-right centering is a meaningful concern. The lower-left corner shows visible wear and appears to have creasing or surface stress at the card's bottom-left area; the lower-right corner also shows rounding. Upper corners are partially obscured by the angle but appear similarly worn. The white borders show toning/yellowing consistent with age, and there is visible gloss loss across the surface. The overall wear pattern — rounded corners, border toning, apparent surface crease or fold stress at lower left, and off-centering — places this card in the VG to VG-EX range; a definitive crease would push it toward a 2-3, while if the surface stress is merely gloss loss without a hard crease, a 4 is possible. Back cannot be assessed from this photo.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), so horizontal centering is a meaningful concern pushing toward the EX or lower range. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (upper-left and lower-right most apparent), consistent with VG-EX to EX wear. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light toning on the white borders, typical for 1966 Topps Batman; no obvious creases visible in this photo but the back cannot be assessed. Edges appear reasonably clean with normal vintage rough-cut texture for this issue. The combination of corner rounding and off-centering places this solidly in the VG-EX (4) to EX (5) range, with 4 as the most likely grade; without a back photo and corner closeups, uncertainty warrants a two-grade spread.

Two cards are shown - the front of #2A on top and the back of #2A on bottom, both in plastic holders. Centering estimate from front: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border appears moderately wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B) - centering is off but not severely so, consistent with EX-EX-MT range. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding visible at this resolution, particularly the bottom corners, suggesting EX territory rather than NM. The surface appears to have some light wear/scuffing visible on the back card and possible light gloss loss on the front, consistent with 5-6 range. No obvious creases are visible from this angle, but the holder glare and photo angle prevent confident assessment of surface condition and corner sharpness - range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T/B) - centering is off but not miscut territory. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-right appear softer), 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 this vintage set. No creases are clearly visible in this photo but the back is unseen; card has the rough-cut edges normal for 1966 Topps Batman and should not be penalized for that. Range reflects uncertainty about back condition and whether any hidden surface wear or creasing is present.

Centering estimate: left border ~6mm, right border ~4mm, top border ~5mm, bottom border ~5mm - left/right roughly 60/40, top/bottom near 50/50; centering is acceptable but slightly left-heavy, not a severe OC issue. Seller discloses crease and writing, both of which are confirmed as likely present given the 'READ' flag in the title and the note beneath the image; a visible crease typically caps the grade at VG (3) or below. Corners appear rounded to moderately rounded consistent with a VG to VG-EX range, with visible wear on at least the leading corners. Edge wear is noted and visible along the left and bottom edges. The combination of a confirmed crease, writing (if present on front or back), rounded corners, and edge wear points to a PSA 2-3 range; without being able to confirm writing placement or crease severity precisely due to the COMC watermark obstruction, the range is widened slightly to 2-4.

Centering estimate: left border ~8mm, right border ~5mm, top border ~6mm, bottom border ~7mm — left/right approximately 60/40 to 65/35, top/bottom roughly 45/55; centering is acceptable but slightly off on the horizontal axis. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-right appear softer), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some general wear and dulling of gloss across the face — no creases are readily visible in this photo, though the CoMC watermark partially obscures the center. Edges appear slightly rough but that is normal for 1966 Topps vintage cuts; no significant chips or tears noted. Grade is estimated at 4 (VG-EX) as the point estimate given the corner rounding and gloss loss, with the range widened to account for hidden back condition and the watermark limiting full surface assessment.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55-60% top), suggesting approximately 60/40 L/R and 58/42 T/B - acceptable for NM-MT range but pushing toward the generous side. Corners: at this resolution the corners appear to have light wear - top-left and bottom-right show slight softening, not sharp enough for an 8 but not heavily rounded; consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface: gloss appears present with no obvious creases visible; some minor print artifacts typical of the set are noted but not penalizing. Edges: appear reasonably clean with no major nicks visible; the rough-cut texture normal for 1966 Topps is not penalized. Back is not visible, limiting confidence; range widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55% top) - roughly 60/40 L/R and 55/45 T/B, which is acceptable for NM-MT territory. Corners appear reasonably sharp with only very slight softening visible, particularly on the lower-left corner. Surface gloss appears present with no obvious creases or heavy wear visible. White borders show some light toning consistent with vintage 1966 Topps stock, and there is minor print texture/snow present which is normal for this issue. The back cannot be assessed, and corner sharpness cannot be fully confirmed at this resolution, so the range is widened accordingly - a closer inspection could push this to a 7 if corners are cleaner than they appear, or drop it to a 5 if surface wear is more evident in hand.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approximately 60/40 T/B) - centering is off but not severely so. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on the visible corners, particularly the upper left and lower left, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some visible dulling; no creases are detectable from this photo though the image resolution limits confidence. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible, and the print quality looks solid with good color saturation typical of this issue. The back is not visible, which prevents ruling out creases or staining; range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border visibly wider than bottom (~60% top) - approximate L/R 55/45, T/B 60/40, which is borderline but not severely off-center. Corners show light rounding on at least two visible corners (top-left and bottom-right appear softened), consistent with EX range. Surface gloss appears moderate with some loss visible, and there is slight toning/aging on the white border areas typical of this set. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious major nicks visible at this resolution. The COMC watermark partially obscures the center surface, making it impossible to fully evaluate print defects or surface creases; this uncertainty drives the range wider toward the lower end. No creases are definitively visible, supporting at least a grade-5 floor, but corner wear and gloss loss prevent grading above EX-MT (6) from this view.

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 quite respectable for the issue and does not cap the grade. Corners: all four corners appear reasonably sharp with only very minor softening visible on the bottom-left and bottom-right corners under inspection; no obvious blunting or rounding. Edges appear clean with no significant nicks visible. Surface shows good gloss retention with no visible creases consistent with seller's disclosure; minor print speckle/snow is likely present as typical for this issue but not prominently visible at this resolution. The card presents solidly in the NM range; the single-photo limitation prevents confident corner and edge closeup assessment, widening the range to EX-MT through NM-MT.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B) — mild off-center but within EX range. Corners appear to show light rounding on at least two corners (lower left and lower right visible), consistent with EX to VG-EX wear. Edges look reasonably clean with no obvious major chipping or nicks visible at this resolution. Surface shows decent gloss retention with no creases apparent in the image, though the COMC watermark obscures a significant portion of the surface making crease detection difficult; the seller's title 'hg6' suggests a raw estimate of around 6 (EX-MT) which is plausible but corners may prevent a full 6 — range of 4–6 reflects uncertainty from watermark obstruction and corner wear assessment limitations.
