Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left / 40-45% right); top border appears modestly wider than bottom (~55/45 top-bottom) — centering is workable, likely within 65/35 range, not an OC concern. Corners appear to show some rounding or softness, particularly on the lower-left and upper-right, suggesting wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range; no corners appear razor sharp. Edges look relatively clean with no obvious tears or major nicks visible, consistent with normal vintage rough-cut texture for this set. Surface gloss is difficult to assess due to heavy snap-case glare dominating the lower half of the card — no creases are visible but cannot be ruled out, and minor print snow or toning on the white inner border is possible but not confirmed. The plastic holder and glare significantly limit confidence; a back inspection and corner close-ups would be needed to tighten this range.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not severely so. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most notably the lower-left and upper-left, consistent with a VG to VG-EX range. Surface shows noticeable paper stress lines or light crease marks visible in the upper portion of the card, and there is visible gloss loss across the surface. Edges appear somewhat rough but this is consistent with normal 1966 Topps Batman production cuts. The combination of rounded corners, surface wear/creasing, and gloss loss points to a PSA 3 VG as the most likely outcome, with VG-EX (4) possible if the surface stress lines are less severe than they appear in this compressed scan.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) — centering is acceptable for EX range, no miscut detected. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding visible at all four corners, most notable at bottom-left and top-left, consistent with EX to VG-EX wear. Surface appears to retain moderate gloss with no visible creases from this photo angle, though the seller's 'EX' self-description aligns with the visual evidence. Edges show typical vintage rough-cut texture normal for 1966 Topps and are not penalized; some minor print snow is visible in the border areas but is set-typical. Back is not visible, which limits confidence — a hidden crease or staining could push this toward a 4, while clean surfaces could support a 5-6.

Centering: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 65-70% left / 30-35% right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) — left-to-right shift is the primary centering concern, likely grading as OC territory or capping at VG-EX range. The seller title includes '0nr3' which may signal corner wear or other flaws. Corners: at least two corners (lower-left and lower-right) appear softened with visible rounding under inspection; upper corners look slightly better but still show light wear consistent with handling. Surface: gloss appears partially retained with some dulling; the watermark obscures the center surface detail but no obvious creases are visible in the artwork or border areas from this view. Edges show typical vintage roughness normal for this set. Overall impression is VG to VG-EX range (3–5), with the off-center left shift and corner rounding being the primary grade limiters; back is unseen and could further adjust the grade.

Centering estimated at approximately 70/30 left-to-right and 65/35 top-to-bottom — borders are noticeably uneven with the left and top borders appearing wider than right and bottom. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-right are the most apparent), consistent with a VG to VG-EX card. Surface shows notable wear including what appears to be a diagonal crease running through the upper-left quadrant of the card, plus general gloss loss across the face; the crease alone likely pushes this into VG (3) territory. Edges appear slightly rough but within normal vintage-cut expectations for this set; the CoC watermark obscures some surface detail, widening the range slightly, but the visible crease and corner rounding are the primary grade-limiting factors here.

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), indicating moderate off-center condition. All four corners show visible rounding/wear - no sharp points evident at this resolution, consistent with a VG-EX or lower grade. Surface shows some gloss loss and appears lightly worn with possible minor soiling or toning on the white border areas, though the watermark obscures the lower center making a clean surface read impossible. Edges appear reasonably clean for a vintage 1966 Topps card with no obvious tears or major damage visible, but the combination of corner rounding, off-centering, and uncertain surface condition places this in the VG to EX range (3-5); single photo limitations and watermark obstruction prevent tighter estimation.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L/R skew), top and bottom appear more balanced at approximately 60/40; overall centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in frame (bottom-left and top-left appear softened), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible at this resolution, consistent with the vintage rough-cut norm for this set. Surface gloss appears present but somewhat reduced, no creases are discernible in this single-angle photo though a light crease cannot be ruled out given the seller's VG/EX self-assessment; the back is unseen. Range reflects corner wear pulling toward a 3-4 floor while the absence of visible creases and reasonable surface condition allow for a 5 ceiling.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60-65% right-heavy), top border slightly wider than bottom - rough L/R ratio ~65/35, T/B ~55/45; centering is off but not severely miscut. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on at least the visible lower-left corner; upper corners are harder to assess under the COMC watermark but appear slightly soft. Surface shows expected print texture and minor toning consistent with vintage 1966 Topps; gloss appears present but reduced. Edges look reasonably clean with no obvious major nicks visible, consistent with the rough-cut tolerance normal for this set. The COMC watermark obscures some surface detail in the center, preventing a confident read on print defects or creases; range is widened accordingly.

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (estimated ~60% right-heavy, roughly 65/35 L/R); top border appears slightly tighter than bottom, perhaps 55/45 T/B — acceptable but not sharp. Corners: at this resolution all four corners show some degree of rounding/softening; no corner appears crisp or sharp, suggesting wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean without obvious chips or tears, which is typical for this issue. Surface gloss appears moderate with no obvious creases visible, but a single-front photo cannot rule out back-side creases or surface wrinkles; the image title contains no self-disclosed crease. Print quality looks typical for 1966 Topps Batman with no severe snow or major color breaks noted. Grade range of 4–6 reflects uncertainty about corner wear severity and the possibility of hidden back flaws; EX (5) is the point estimate given moderate corner softening and slightly off centering.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B) - centering is off but not severely so, consistent with NM or EX-MT range. Corners appear relatively clean from this distance with no obvious heavy rounding visible on the two near corners; the upper corners are harder to assess due to angle. Surface shows good color saturation and apparent gloss retention with no obvious creases visible. Edges look reasonably clean with no major chipping noted, though the angle and image resolution prevent confident corner and edge micro-assessment. The seller's NRMT claim is plausible but likely optimistic given the centering; EX-MT (6) is the most defensible single estimate, with NM (7) possible if corners are sharper than they appear and EX (5) as a floor if there is hidden surface or corner wear on the back side.
