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

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 65-70% left / 30-35% right), and top border appears slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) — left-to-right shift is the primary concern and pushes toward OC territory at the upper end. Corners show visible rounding at all four tips, most evident at the upper-left and lower-right, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact but with some dulling and light wear; no obvious hard creases are visible in the image though the photo softness limits certainty on fine surface detail. Edges appear reasonably clean for the vintage with no confirmed miscut; the rough-cut texture typical of 1966 Topps is noted and not penalized. The horizontal centering shift is the grade-limiting factor, placing this most likely in the PSA 4 (VG-EX) range with EX (5) possible if centering measures better in hand.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L-R), top and bottom borders appear closer to 55/45 T-B; left-right centering is the primary concern here and pushes toward EX-MT ceiling or below. Corners appear to show light rounding on at least the visible corners, consistent with EX to EX-MT range - no sharp points evident but no severe rounding either. Surface appears to retain reasonable gloss with no obvious creases visible, and the artwork reproduction looks clean with no significant print snow or toning on the white borders visible in this scan. Back is unavailable for inspection and corner closeups are not provided, so the range is widened; the left-heavy centering is the main grade limiter here.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (approx 65/35 T/B) - centering is off but not severely so. There is a visible diagonal crease running through the upper-left quadrant of the card, clearly seen crossing the Batman figure area - this is a significant surface defect that is the primary grade limiter here. Corners appear to show light-to-moderate rounding, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range absent the crease. The crease pushes this card toward the VG-EX (4) or VG (3) range; gloss appears partially retained and the image registers cleanly with no obvious print snow. The back is not visible, so additional wear or staining cannot be ruled out - range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R skew favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T-B) - centering is off but not severely OC. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (upper-left and lower-left appear softened/rounded), consistent with a VG-EX range; no razor sharpness visible on any corner. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light toning/aging on the white border areas, typical for 57-year-old Topps stock; no obvious hard creases are visible from this scan but the image resolution is insufficient to rule out light surface creases entirely. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious tears or chips, and the rough-cut texture on the right edge is consistent with normal 1966 Topps production - not penalized. Range of 3-5 reflects uncertainty about crease presence and precise corner wear hidden by scan quality.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left bias), top border appears moderately wider than bottom, suggesting approximately 60/40 L/R and 65/35 T/B — acceptable for NM-MT range but not tight enough to push toward 8+. Corners appear reasonably sharp with no obvious rounding visible at this resolution, consistent with the seller's 'nice corners' claim, though the upper-left and lower-right corners cannot be fully resolved. Surface shows good gloss retention with the vivid yellow and colors reading cleanly; no visible creases confirmed, consistent with seller's disclosure. White borders appear clean without heavy toning or print snow visible at this scan quality; however, back condition, edge wear, and true corner sharpness under close inspection remain unknown, warranting a conservative range of 5-7 with EX-MT (6) as the most likely single grade.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (roughly 55/45 L/R), top border appears noticeably wider than bottom (roughly 65/35 T/B) - centering is acceptable but not tight, consistent with EX range. Corners: the visible corners show mild-to-moderate rounding, particularly noticeable at the lower-left and lower-right, consistent with EX to VG-EX wear; no razor sharpness evident. Surface/gloss: the artwork area appears to retain reasonable gloss with no obvious creases visible in this photo, though some light print texture/snow is present which is normal for the set. Edges appear intact without major chipping; cannot assess the back for staining or creases, which widens the range - a back crease or staining could push this toward a 4, while a clean back with better-than-apparent corners could support a 5.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border modestly wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — acceptable for a potential EX-MT range. Corners: upper-left and lower-right corners show light wear with very minor rounding visible; upper-right appears the sharpest; no severe blunting observed. Surface: gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible in this photo, consistent with the seller's implied 'hg6' designation; some minor print texture typical of 1966 Topps is present but not penalizing. Edges appear clean without significant chipping or roughness beyond vintage norms. Back cannot be assessed, and corner wear could read differently under direct lighting, so the range spans EX to NM to account for hidden surface or reverse issues.
