1966 Topps Batman Red Bat #38A In the Path of Death — 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 off but not severely so. Corners show visible rounding on at least the lower-left and lower-right corners, consistent with VG-EX to EX range; upper corners are harder to assess cleanly from this photo angle. Surface shows mild gloss loss and some general wear consistent with age; no obvious heavy creases are visible but the image resolution is insufficient to rule out light surface creasing. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major nicks visible, which is typical of the rough-cut 1966 Topps Batman stock. The seller's title suffix '15wb' suggests white borders, which appear moderately clean with minor toning — overall condition points to a VG-EX (4) estimate, with EX (5) possible if corners are better than they appear and no hidden creases exist on the reverse.

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 left-right favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 top-bottom) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. All four corners show visible rounding, consistent with heavy handling; no corners are sharp. Surface shows significant gloss loss across much of the card face with a matte, worn appearance. The white border area shows toning and general soiling. The seller's 'GD' self-assessment is credible — this card presents as a PSA 2 (GOOD) with rounding on all corners, gloss loss, and possible light surface creasing difficult to confirm definitively from this single scan; a PSA 3 (VG) is possible only if no hard creases exist on the surface or back, which cannot be confirmed from the front photo alone.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — within acceptable range for NM-EX territory. Corners appear reasonably sharp with only minor softening visible at the lower-left and lower-right; upper corners look tighter but are partially out of close inspection range. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects visible; the card stock looks clean and the image registers well with no notable print snow. Edges appear clean for a 1966 Topps issue with no severe fraying, though the rough-cut nature typical of this series makes fine edge grading difficult without a scan of all four sides — back and corner closeups are unavailable, so the range is kept wide at 5–7 with a point estimate of 6 (EX-MT).

Centering estimate: left border ~8mm, right border ~5mm, top border ~6mm, bottom border ~5mm — approximately 60/40 L/R and 55/45 T/B, which is acceptable, but centering is not the primary concern here. The seller's title explicitly discloses a crease, which is visible as a diagonal line running across the lower-center of the card face — this alone caps the grade at PSA 3 (VG) territory at best. Corners show rounding consistent with moderate handling wear, supporting a VG to VG-EX range before the crease penalty. Surface gloss appears partially intact but the crease and associated surface stress bring this firmly into the 2–4 range; a soft VG (3) is the most likely outcome. Back condition, crease depth, and any additional staining cannot be confirmed from this single front image, so the range is kept wide.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders appear closer to 55/45 — horizontal centering is the primary concern. Corners show visible rounding on at least the bottom-left and bottom-right corners visible in frame, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range; top corners are harder to assess due to perspective but appear slightly better. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling evident, no obvious hard creases are visible in this photo though the image resolution and angle prevent confident exclusion of light surface creases. Edges look reasonably clean with no major chipping, consistent with normal vintage handling wear for this 1966 Topps issue; rough cut texture is age-appropriate and not penalized.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — acceptable for vintage but leaning off. Corners show light rounding on all four, most visible on the bottom-left and bottom-right, consistent with EX territory; no sharp points remain. Surface gloss appears moderate — some dulling visible, consistent with age and handling but no obvious creases or staining detected from this image. Edges look reasonably clean with no major nicks; rough cut texture is normal for this issue and not penalized. Back cannot be assessed, and corner wear is difficult to confirm precisely without closeups, so the range is widened to VG-EX through EX-MT; EX (5) is the most likely single grade given the corner rounding and gloss loss.

Centering estimate: left border approximately 10-12% wider than right, top border roughly equal to or slightly wider than bottom — approximately 55/45 L/R and 52/48 T/B, which is solid for this issue. Corners appear reasonably sharp in this scan with no obvious heavy rounding visible, though the lower-left corner near the bat logo is partially obscured by the design element making full assessment difficult. Surface shows the expected toning/yellowing on the tan/cream background area typical of this set, with no obvious creases or staining visible. Edges appear clean with no severe chipping; single-photo limitation prevents back inspection and precise corner-tip evaluation, so the range spans EX to NM to account for hidden wear.
