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

Centering estimate: left border ~8mm, right border ~4mm, top border ~5mm, bottom border ~4mm — left/right ratio approximately 65-70/30-35, borderline but manageable; top/bottom closer to 55/45. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (upper-left and lower-left appear softer), consistent with a VG to VG-EX range. Surface shows noticeable handling wear and some gloss loss across the face; there are subtle crease indications in the upper-left quadrant area though the watermark partially obscures confirmation. Edges appear slightly rough but consistent with normal 1966 Topps rough-cut production. Overall condition evidence points to a PSA 3 (VG) as most likely, with VG-EX (4) possible if the suspected crease is a print artifact rather than a true crease, and GOOD (2) possible if crease depth is confirmed on back inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~60-65% left), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55% top), suggesting moderate left-heavy miscentering roughly 65/35 L/R and 55/45 T/B - within EX-MT range for left/right but not severe. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding visible at all four tips, most noticeably the upper-left and lower-right, consistent with an EX (5) grade. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some light wear and possible minor toning on the white border areas, consistent with the age of the card. The COM-C watermark obscures a portion of the surface, preventing full assessment of print defects or surface creases in the lower-center zone; back is not visible, widening the range slightly.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~60-65% left), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55% top), so roughly 60/40 L/R and 55/45 T/B — moderate off-center but not severe. Corners show visible rounding on at least the upper-left and lower-left corners discernible even at this resolution, suggesting wear consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface glare from the photo obscures potential creasing or print defects across the mid-card area, which is the primary uncertainty widening this range — a crease cannot be ruled out. Edges appear reasonably intact with no obvious tears or paper loss; the white border shows some toning consistent with the vintage of the card, which is expected for 1966 Topps and not penalized heavily. Back is not visible, limiting full assessment.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B) - centering is acceptable for EX range but not tight enough for NM territory. Corners show visible rounding at all four tips, most notable at bottom-left and top-left, consistent with EX to VG-EX wear. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible at this resolution; rough cut texture is normal for this set and not penalized. Surface gloss appears partially intact but the COM-C watermark obscures a full surface read - no obvious creases are visible though the seller title discloses none; toning on white borders appears mild. Range widened slightly due to watermark obstruction hiding potential surface issues.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~60-65% left), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55% top), so approximate L/R ~65/35 and T/B ~55/45 - centering is off but not catastrophically so. More concerning are visible surface creases: there are what appear to be light-to-moderate diagonal creases crossing the lower-left quadrant area and possibly the center field, consistent with a VG-range card. Corners show rounding and wear - no sharp points visible on any corner, consistent with a PSA 3 VG grade. Gloss appears largely gone with noticeable surface wear; edges show typical rough-cut texture normal for this vintage Topps issue and are not over-penalized. The combination of rounded corners, apparent crease(s), and gloss loss anchors this in the VG (3) range, with VG-EX (4) possible only if the creases are shallower than they appear in this compressed scan.

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.
