1966 Topps Batman Red Bat #35A Crime above the Harbor — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approx 60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) - centering is workable but not tight. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible from this angle (lower left and upper right appear softened), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light handling wear; there is a subtle diagonal line visible in the upper portion of the card that could indicate a light surface crease or print artifact - cannot confirm definitively from this resolution. Edges appear reasonably clean for a 1966 Topps issue where rough cuts are expected. The range is widened due to moderate photo quality making corner and surface assessment uncertain; a crease would push this toward a 3.

Centering: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at approximately 55/45 T-B — centering is off but not catastrophically so. A visible diagonal crease or wrinkle is apparent in the upper-left quadrant of the card surface, running from roughly the top-left corner area toward center, which is a meaningful surface defect that will significantly suppress the grade. Corners show rounding consistent with a VG-EX to EX range card; the upper-left corner appears the most affected. Gloss appears partially present but surface wear and the crease prevent anything above a 5, and the crease likely pulls this into the 3–4 range; back is unseen so staining or additional creases cannot be ruled out.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 70/30 left-right), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 — horizontal off-centering is the primary grade constraint. Corners: all four corners show light-to-moderate rounding; the lower-left and upper-left corners appear the softest, consistent with a 5-6 range card, while the right corners look slightly crisper. Surface and gloss: the image shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects beyond normal 1966 Topps print snow; card face appears clean. Edges appear intact with no major nicks visible, though rough cut texture on left edge is normal for this vintage issue and not penalized. Back not visible — cannot confirm creases or staining; range widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T-B), so centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding — upper-left and lower-left corners appear softer with light wear, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. The upper-right corner shows a small ding or nick visible even at this resolution. Surface gloss appears moderately retained with no obvious creases visible, though the back is unseen and could reveal hidden flaws. Edges look acceptable for the vintage with minor fraying consistent with a played card; rough cut texture is normal for this 1966 Topps issue and not penalized. A PSA 4 VG-EX feels like the most likely outcome; a 5 EX is possible if corners are sharper than they appear, but the corner rounding visible on at least two corners argues against it.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approximately 70/30 left-right), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 top-bottom) — centering is off but not extreme. Corners show visible rounding on at least the lower-left and lower-right corners visible in the scan, consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and light toning/aging on the white borders, which is typical for this vintage issue. No obvious creases are visible from this scan, but the scan resolution limits definitive assessment of surface wear and back condition; the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners appear to have light wear with minor rounding visible on at least two corners, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears reasonable with no obvious creases visible from this angle, though the photo does not allow definitive corner or edge closeup inspection. Print quality looks typical for the 1966 Topps Batman run with no obvious print snow or heavy toning; back is not visible so hidden flaws (staining, creases, markings) cannot be ruled out, keeping the floor at 5.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~60-65% right, 35-40% left), and top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 top/bottom) — roughly 65/35 L/R which pushes toward EX-MT territory at best on that axis. Corners show some rounding visible at the upper-left and lower-left, consistent with EX to EX-MT range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible, though the photo does not provide tight corner closeups to confirm rounding severity. Edges appear clean with no major chipping; the rough-cut texture typical of 1966 Topps Batman is present and not penalized. Back is unseen, and without corner macro shots, a one-grade range of uncertainty on either side is appropriate.
