Index grading notes

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.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55-60% top), so L/R roughly 58/42 and T/B roughly 57/43 — not extreme but off-center enough to note; within EX-MT range if otherwise clean. Corners: the top-left and bottom-left corners appear to show some light rounding/wear; top-right and bottom-right are harder to assess due to card angle but suggest similar mild wear — consistent with an EX (5) grade. Surface and gloss: the artwork area appears to retain reasonable gloss with no obvious creases visible in the image, though the seller's 'EX' self-assessment aligns with what is visible. White borders show some light toning typical for 1966 Topps Batman stock, which is vintage-normal and not penalized heavily; no staining or writing observed. Cannot assess the back, and corner detail is limited by photo angle, so the range is widened accordingly to 4–6.

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 (~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.
