1966 Topps Batman Red Bat #3A The Menacing Mummy — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 65-70% left / 30-35% right), and top border appears slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 top-to-bottom) — left-to-right centering is the primary concern and approaches the EX-MT/EX threshold. The COM-C watermark obscures the center surface, making it impossible to fully assess print defects, staining, or creases. Corners appear to show mild-to-moderate rounding consistent with EX to VG-EX range, though no corner is sharp enough for NM territory from this view. Edges look reasonably clean with no obvious major chipping visible, consistent with typical vintage 1966 Topps handling. Surface gloss loss is plausible given apparent age and handling, but cannot be confirmed under the watermark — the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60-65% top), giving approximate L/R ~55/45 and T/B ~62/38 — centering is off but not severely so, consistent with PSA 5-6 range. Corners show light rounding on at least the visible lower-left and lower-right corners; no razor-sharp points are evident, suggesting wear consistent with EX to EX-MT territory. Surface gloss appears moderate with some dulling but no obvious creases or staining visible in this scan. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chipping; the rough cut texture is normal for this 1966 Topps issue and not penalized. Back and corner closeups are unavailable, so the range is widened slightly to account for hidden wear or a possible light crease.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border visibly wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on all four, most visible at the lower-left and upper-left, consistent with an EX to VG-EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious rough nicks beyond normal vintage cut texture for this issue. Surface shows some gloss loss and possible light handling wear, though no creases are clearly visible in the photo; the image cannot confirm the reverse or close-up corner detail, so the range is widened accordingly. A confirmed crease would push this toward a 3-4; absence of one and the relatively clean surface support a 5 point estimate.

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 acceptable for a mid-to-high grade. Corners appear reasonably sharp in this single overview photo with no obvious heavy rounding visible, though fine corner wear cannot be ruled out at this resolution. Edges appear clean with no visible notching or roughness beyond what is normal for 1966 Topps rough-cut stock. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects visible; however, the image is a flat overview shot that does not allow close corner or edge inspection, so hidden wear could push the grade lower. A range of 5–7 reflects genuine uncertainty about corner and edge condition not resolvable from this single photo.

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly 3-4mm, right border 5-6mm, top border ~4mm, bottom border ~4mm — left/right ratio approximately 65/35 to 70/30, top/bottom near 50/50; centering is off horizontally but not severely. Corners appear lightly worn with slight blunting visible on at least the lower-left and upper-left corners, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface shows good gloss retention with no visible creases; print quality looks solid with no obvious snow or major defects apparent in this image. Back is not visible, and corner closeups are unavailable, so the range is widened slightly — a hidden crease or heavier corner wear could push this down to a 5, while cleaner corners could support a 7.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left bias), top border appears moderately wider than bottom, rough call of approximately 60/40 L/R and 65/35 T/B - centering is off but not severely so. Corners: at this resolution all four corners show some degree of rounding/wear; no sharp razor corners are evident, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface/gloss: the card appears to retain moderate gloss with no immediately obvious heavy creasing, but the angle and image quality make it difficult to rule out light surface creases or subtle wear; no writing or staining visible. Edges appear reasonably clean for a vintage 1966 Topps issue. The seller's NRMT claim appears optimistic based on visible corner wear and centering; EX (5) is the most likely grade, with EX-MT (6) possible if corners are sharper than they appear and VG-EX (4) possible if closer inspection reveals additional wear.
