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

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 65-70% left / 30-35% right), and top border slightly wider than bottom — off-center left/right pushes toward the 75/25–80/20 range, consistent with EX to EX-MT territory at best. Corners show light rounding, most visible at the lower-left and upper-right, suggesting handling wear in the EX-VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible, though the photo resolution limits fine surface inspection. Edges look acceptable with no dramatic chipping; rough cuts are normal for this 1966 Topps issue and not penalized. Overall the card reads as a solid EX (5), possibly nudging EX-MT (6) if corners are cleaner than they appear, or sliding to VG-EX (4) if the centering measures worse on the right border than visible here.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B) — off-center but within vintage norms for this issue. The top-right corner of the card shows clear creasing/stress with what appears to be a fold or crease line visible in the upper portion of the card; the top-left corner also shows wear and fraying. Bottom corners appear somewhat rounded with moderate wear. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and some toning/soiling, particularly a visible dark spot near the Statue of Liberty face area. The pink border shows wear and chipping along multiple edges. These combined factors — visible crease/fold at upper area, rounded corners, gloss loss, and soiling — place this card solidly in the VG to VG-EX range; the crease is the grade-limiting factor, likely capping at PSA 3, with PSA 4 possible only if the upper damage is lighter than it appears under closer inspection.

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 reasonably acceptable for a PSA 5-6 range. Corners: at this resolution all four corners appear to have light rounding consistent with moderate handling wear - no sharp points visible, suggesting EX to VG-EX territory. Edges appear intact with no visible nicks or tears; the rough cut texture is normal for the 1966 Topps Batman issue and is not penalized. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases or staining visible in the scan, though subtle surface wear cannot be ruled out from a single front-only photo. The 'C' annotation/writing visible over the bat logo at bottom is a concern - if this is pen or marker writing on the card surface it could qualify for a qualifier or drop the grade to a 3-4; if it is a scan artifact or seller watermark it is irrelevant, but this ambiguity lowers confidence and widens the range.
