1966 Topps Batman Red Bat #40A Inferno of Flame — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in frame, particularly lower-left and lower-right, suggesting wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears moderate with some dulling evident, but no obvious creases are visible from this angle — though the photo angle limits crease detection on the lower half. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chips or tears; the rough-cut character typical of 1966 Topps Batman is present and not penalized. Overall condition looks to fall in the EX (5) range, with the range widened due to inability to assess the back, confirm crease status in full lighting, and closely inspect all four corners.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonable and does not cap the grade. Corners: all four corners show some rounding visible at this distance; upper-left and lower-right appear slightly more worn than the other two, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears moderate with some gloss loss visible, no creases evident from this single-side photo though the seller's 'EX' self-grade aligns with the visual evidence. Edges appear clean with no major chips or tears; print quality is typical for the 1966 Topps Batman series with no severe print defects visible. Back is not visible, so hidden creases or staining cannot be ruled out — range is widened accordingly.

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: the sleeve obscures fine corner detail, but visible corners appear to show light rounding consistent with an EX (5) card rather than sharp NM points; no corners appear blunted enough for VG-EX (4) definitively. Surface/gloss: moderate gloss loss visible across the image area, some toning on the cream border which is age-typical for this set and not penalized heavily; no creases are visible, consistent with seller's disclosure. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major nicks visible, though the soft sleeve prevents a definitive edge assessment — range widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable and not a primary grade driver here. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most notably the bottom-right and top-left, consistent with a VG or VG-EX card. There is a visible surface crease running diagonally across the lower-right quadrant of the card (dark area near the bat logo), which is the primary grade anchor and pushes this toward VG (3) rather than VG-EX (4). Gloss appears partially intact but with notable surface wear and some whitening on edges; the seller's self-disclosed VG grade aligns with what the photo shows, and the crease is the deciding factor keeping this at PSA 3.

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable for EX-EX-MT range. Corners: all four corners show some rounding/softening visible even at this resolution, ruling out NM-MT or better; the lower corners appear slightly more worn than the upper. Edges: cuts look typical for 1966 Topps Batman rough-cut stock, no miscut detected. Surface: gloss appears moderate with some light wear; no obvious creases visible from this photo, but the back is unseen and surface cannot be fully evaluated at this resolution — a crease or staining on reverse could push the grade lower. Overall impression is a solid EX (5) card, with range extending to VG-EX (4) if corners are more rounded than they appear, or EX-MT (6) if the surface and back are cleaner than the front suggests.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65-70% left bias), top border slightly wider than bottom — approximate L/R ratio ~65/35, T/B ~55/45, which is borderline for a grade cap on its own. The upper-left corner shows visible wear and what appears to be a bent or dinged tip; the remaining corners show moderate rounding consistent with handling. Surface gloss appears partially intact but there is visible toning/aging on the white border areas and some print texture typical of the set. No creases are definitively confirmed from this single photo, but the camera angle obscures fine surface detail; if the card is crease-free the grade could reach 5, but corner and centering issues likely keep it in the 4 range. The seller's title notation '9at' is not interpreted as a grade — photo evidence does not support anything near PSA 9.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a 6-7 range. Corners appear reasonably sharp with light rounding visible on the lower corners, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. White borders show typical vintage toning/off-white appearance but no alarming staining. Surface appears to have decent remaining gloss with no visible creases, but minor print grain/snow is present as expected for this issue. No miscut detected. Back is unseen, and corner sharpness cannot be fully confirmed without macro shots, so the range is widened to account for hidden wear.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable for EX range. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on all four, most visible on the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with an EX grade; no corner is sharp enough for EX-MT. Surface gloss appears moderately retained with some light wear but no obvious creases visible from this photo. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chips or tears, consistent with normal vintage handling; the back is unseen so hidden creases or staining cannot be ruled out, which keeps the floor at 4.
