1966 Topps Batman Red Bat #41A Duel of Death — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border visibly narrower than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — within acceptable range for a 6-7 grade. Corners appear reasonably sharp from this distance with no obvious rounding or blunting visible, though the lower-right corner may show very slight softening. Surface gloss appears present and intact with no obvious creases or staining visible; the yellow background and red bat logo display cleanly. Edges look clean with no fraying evident, consistent with normal 1966 Topps rough-cut character. Back is not visible so hidden defects (staining, creases, writing) cannot be ruled out, which keeps the ceiling at 7; a corner closeup could push this higher or lower.

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 for a PSA 7 candidate but not a concern at this grade level. Corners: all four corners appear reasonably sharp from this distance with no obvious rounding visible, though slight softness may be present on the lower-left corner — cannot confirm without closer inspection. Edges appear clean with no major chipping or tears; the rough-cut texture typical of 1966 Topps Batman is present and not penalized. Surface shows good gloss retention with no visible creases, staining, or print defects beyond the expected minor print snow common to this issue; the image is slightly soft in rendering but that is a print characteristic, not card damage. Back cannot be assessed from this photo, which is the primary uncertainty widening the range.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 left-heavy), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40), so centering is off but not catastrophically miscut. Corners show visible rounding on all four — the lower-left and upper-right appear most worn, consistent with handling; no sharp points remain. Surface gloss appears reduced overall with some cloudiness/scuffing visible across the face, and there may be a very light handling crease near the lower-left quadrant though it is not definitively confirmed from this angle. Edges look reasonably intact without major nicks. The seller's 'GOOD' self-disclosure aligns with the visible wear; a PSA 3 (VG) seems most likely given the rounded corners, gloss loss, and possible light crease, with a range of 2–4 depending on back condition and whether that lower-left mark is a crease or surface scuff.

Centering estimate: left border ~10%, right border ~15%, top border ~12%, bottom border ~8% — card reads approximately 60/40 L/R and 60/40 T/B, modest but within EX-MT range on its own. Corners: upper-left shows the most visible wear with slight rounding; upper-right and lower-left appear reasonably sharp; lower-right is partially obscured by the bat logo graphic but looks acceptable — overall corners suggest EX to EX-MT range. Surface: color print appears reasonably vibrant with no obvious creasing visible, though some minor print grain/snow is typical for this issue and noted here; gloss appears moderately intact but not full. Edges appear clean without major chipping; the rough-cut texture common to this vintage issue is present and not penalized, but the overall wear pattern on corners keeps this out of NM territory, placing the estimate solidly in the EX to EX-MT (5–6) range with a point grade of 5.

Centering: left border appears approximately 8–9% of card width, right border approximately 10–11%, giving left/right ratio near 55/45 to 60/40 — acceptable; top border roughly 10%, bottom border roughly 12–13%, top/bottom near 55/45 — solid overall centering. Corners appear fairly clean with only very light wear visible on the lower-left corner; the other three corners look reasonably sharp at this resolution but fine tip wear cannot be ruled out from a single photo. Edges appear clean with no obvious chipping or rough cuts beyond normal 1966 Topps production variance. Surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases, staining, or print defects, though the COMC watermark partially obscures the center of the image preventing full surface assessment. The card presents as EX-MT (6) to NM (7) with a conservative lean toward 6 given the inability to confirm corner sharpness at full resolution.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top and bottom borders appear close to 55/45 — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners at this resolution appear to show light wear on at least two corners (lower left and lower right show slight softening), consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible. Surface gloss looks present and largely intact with no obvious creases or staining detectable; print quality appears typical for this vintage issue. Back cannot be assessed, and corner detail is limited at this zoom level, so the range is widened slightly to account for hidden wear.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60% of right border width), suggesting approximately 60/40 L/R off-center; top and bottom borders appear more balanced at roughly 55/45 T/B. Corners show visible light rounding on at least the lower-left and upper-left corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; right-side corners are harder to assess but appear slightly better. Edges look reasonably clean with typical vintage rough-cut texture for this set - no chipping apparent. Surface shows decent residual gloss with minor print texture/snow visible in the lighter areas, no obvious creases detectable from this photo, but the back is unseen and could reveal hidden flaws. Overall presentation suggests a mid-grade EX (5) as the most likely outcome, with EX-MT (6) possible if corners hold up under closer inspection and VG-EX (4) if back-side wear or a light crease is present.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60-65% right-heavy), top border slightly wider than bottom — approximate L/R ratio ~65/35, T/B ~55/45; centering is noticeably off horizontally, consistent with EX-range cap. Corners: at this resolution all four corners appear to show light-to-moderate rounding, no sharp points visible, suggesting wear in the EX to VG-EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with no gross chipping, consistent with the rough-cut norm for this 1966 Topps issue. Surface shows adequate gloss retention with no obvious creases visible in this photo, though the image compression limits crease detection; the seller's 'ow1' notation likely denotes off-white to white backs which does not affect the numeric grade. Overall condition evidence supports EX (5) as the point estimate, with VG-EX (4) possible if corner rounding is worse than visible, and EX-MT (6) possible if centering reads better in hand.
