Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55L/45R), top border appears moderately wider than bottom (approx 60T/40B) - centering is acceptable but not tight. White borders show some toning/yellowing consistent with age, particularly visible along the top edge. Corners appear to have very light rounding/wear - no sharp knife edges visible from this distance, consistent with EX-MT to NM range; no corners appear badly rounded or frayed. Surface gloss appears moderate with no obvious creases visible, and the image registers cleanly with no severe print defects noted. Back is not visible, and the slight angle and card-stand obstruction at the bottom prevent a fully confident corner assessment, so the range is widened accordingly; the seller's NM/EX self-description aligns with a PSA 6 EX-MT point estimate.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so. More critically, the card shows visible surface wear and what appears to be paper stress or light creasing across the face, consistent with a VG or lower grade; corners appear rounded with no sharp points remaining — all four corners show obvious wear. Gloss appears largely gone with a flat, worn surface texture visible throughout. The image resolution limits confident assessment of fine corner and surface detail, but the overall presentation strongly suggests a VG (3) card with possible crease presence dragging it toward Good (2); a VG-EX (4) ceiling is possible only if the surface stress lines are shallow and no true crease is confirmed on back.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 left-right favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 top-bottom) — centering is off but not severely so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in frame (lower-left and lower-right appear soft/rounded), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light toning or wear on the white border areas; no obvious creases are detectable from this photo but the image resolution and the COMC watermark overlay obscure fine surface detail. Edges appear reasonably clean with typical rough-cut texture normal for this 1966 Topps issue. The COM watermark prevents confident assessment of the center image surface, widening the range; absent hidden creases or staining on the back, a VG-EX (4) point estimate is most likely.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55% right-heavy), top border appears moderately narrower than bottom, rough L/R ratio ~60/40 and T/B ~65/35 — acceptable for the grade range. Corners appear to show light to moderate rounding on at least two visible corners (particularly lower-left and upper-right), consistent with an EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears reduced but present, with some toning visible in the border areas typical for this vintage issue. No obvious creases are visible, though the COMC watermark partially obscures the surface assessment; edges appear reasonably clean with the rough cut texture normal for 1966 Topps Batman. Without a clean corner closeup and back inspection, uncertainty is elevated, hence the widened range.
