1966 Topps Batman Red Bat #4A Target of the Trapper — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approx 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders appear relatively close to 55/45 - centering is off horizontally but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most notably the lower-left and lower-right corners which appear soft and worn beyond minor wear. Surface shows significant toning/yellowing across the entire card face, with gloss largely absent indicating heavy gloss loss consistent with a VG-range card. There is also what appears to be a light surface scratch or wear line in the mid-card area, and the overall card surface looks handled. Back is not visible so hidden creases cannot be ruled out; the range is widened downward accordingly. No writing or tears evident, no miscut detected.

Centering estimate from photo: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 left-to-right), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at approximately 55/45 — horizontal centering is the primary concern. The top-loader obscures all four corners, making precise corner assessment impossible; no obvious rounding or heavy wear is visible through the holder but this is unreliable. Surface appears to retain reasonable gloss with no obvious creases or staining visible, and the image registers cleanly with good color. Edge wear and corner condition cannot be confirmed through the plastic holder, and the off-center horizontal alignment is the biggest grade risk here — if corners are solid and surface is clean, a grade of 5 EX is most likely, but corner condition could push this lower into VG-EX (4) territory.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonable and not a major detractor. Corners appear lightly worn with some minor rounding visible at all four corners, consistent with EX to EX-MT range; no sharp razor corners but no heavy blunting either. Edges look reasonably clean with no major chips or tears visible, consistent with typical vintage rough-cut handling for this set. Surface shows decent gloss with no obvious creases detected, though the COMC watermark partially obscures the center of the image, limiting full surface assessment — toning or print defects beneath the watermark cannot be confirmed.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 left-to-right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 top-to-bottom) — centering is off but not severely so. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding visible at all four tips, most notably the lower-left and upper-right; no corner is sharp. Surface shows expected vintage toning on white borders and some light print wear but no obvious creases are visible in this photo, consistent with the seller's '4fl' notation suggesting four light flaws rather than a crease. Gloss appears moderately reduced. The seller title '4fl' (four flaws) is taken seriously; absent a visible crease this reads EX range, but the corner rounding and off-centering together likely land this in EX to VG-EX territory — back condition and crease confirmation under direct light would tighten this range considerably.

Centering: left border is noticeably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L-R), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at roughly 55/45 T-B — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on all four, consistent with a VG card; no corner is sharp or near-sharp. Surface shows general gloss loss and what appears to be handling wear or light soiling across the face, particularly in the upper left quadrant; there is also evidence of surface scuffing or possible light creasing in the lower-left ski area, though the scan resolution makes a definitive crease call difficult. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major chipping, consistent with normal vintage handling. The combination of rounded corners, gloss loss, off-centering, and possible surface creasing places this squarely in the VG (3) range, with a floor of GOOD (2) if that surface disturbance resolves as a crease under direct examination.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B), so horizontal centering is the primary concern. All four corners show visible rounding — none appear sharp or near-mint; upper-left and lower-right corners appear the most worn, suggesting a grade floor of 3. Surface gloss appears partially intact but with noticeable overall loss consistent with handling wear. No creases are clearly visible in this photo but the overall softness of corners and moderate gloss loss point to the VG-EX to EX range (4–5); the off-centering pushes toward the lower end. Edge texture appears consistent with normal 1966 Topps rough-cut characteristics and is not penalized. Back cannot be assessed from this image, which widens the range slightly.

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R favoring right), top and bottom borders look relatively even (~55/45 T/B) — not ideal but within EX-MT range on one axis. The seller note says 'corner wear' which is confirmed visually: the note caption at the bottom explicitly flags this, and at this resolution the corners appear to show light rounding consistent with EX to VG-EX range rather than sharp NM corners. Surface gloss looks decent with no obvious creases visible in this photo, and the borders show typical 1966 Topps toning without heavy staining. The COMC watermark obscures the center surface, preventing a clean read on print defects or any light crease; back is unseen. Given the seller-disclosed corner wear, a grade of 5 EX is the most likely outcome, with 4 VG-EX possible if corners are more rounded than they appear here.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T-B), so horizontal centering is a meaningful concern. Corners show visible rounding on at least the lower-left and lower-right corners, consistent with moderate handling wear; upper corners appear slightly better but still show some softening. Surface shows minor gloss loss and what appears to be light general wear consistent with age; no obvious creases are visible from this photo though the image resolution limits certainty on surface wrinkles. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major nicks visible. The back cannot be assessed, and corner closeups are not available, so the range is widened accordingly — a hidden crease or heavier corner wear could push this toward a 3, while cleaner-than-apparent surfaces could support a 5.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 left-right favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 top-bottom) — off-center but within EX-EX-MT range. Corners show light rounding at all four tips, most visible at bottom-left and top-right, consistent with EX (5) territory. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible at this resolution; the rough-cut texture typical of 1966 Topps Batman is present and not penalized. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some light wear or scuffing visible across the image area; no obvious creases are detected, though the COMC watermark obscures the center surface, limiting crease assessment. No staining or writing visible; the red bat logo retains good color saturation.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severe enough alone to cap the grade. Corners: all four show visible rounding, most evident at the top-left and bottom-left corners, consistent with VG to VG-EX range. Edges appear slightly rough but that is normal for 1966 Topps rough-cut production and should not be penalized heavily. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light soiling or wear in the image area — no crease is clearly visible in this photo, though the angle and resolution make it impossible to rule one out with confidence. Estimating VG-EX (4) as the point grade, with the range spanning VG (3) to EX (5) depending on back condition and whether a crease is present that this single angled photo cannot confirm.

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) — centering is imperfect but within EX-MT range on at least one axis. Corners: all four corners show light rounding consistent with handling wear; no corners appear sharp under this resolution, suggesting EX to VG-EX territory. Surface: some gloss loss is visible, particularly in the upper field; the card stock appears toned/aged as expected for a 58-year-old card, and minor print grain is present but no obvious creases are detectable from this single-image view. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major nicks visible, though the rough-cut texture normal for this issue is present; back is not shown so hidden creases or staining cannot be ruled out, widening the range conservatively downward.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at approximately 55/45 T/B — the left-right tilt is the primary centering concern. Corners: upper-left corner shows the most visible wear with what appears to be slight rounding/fraying; upper-right corner also shows minor softening; lower corners are harder to assess at this resolution but appear slightly better. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible, consistent with the expected rough-cut texture normal for this 1966 Topps issue. Surface shows no obvious creases, gloss appears largely intact though some light print snow or minor surface wear may be present — difficult to confirm at this resolution. The centering alone likely prevents this from grading above EX-MT (6), and corner wear pushes the floor toward VG-EX (4); EX (5) is the most probable single grade.

Centering: left border appears notably wider than right (approximately 70/30 left-right), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners: all four appear reasonably sharp in this scan with no obvious rounding visible, though the lower-left corner warrants scrutiny as it shows some potential softness. Edges: appear clean with no visible nicks or tears; the rough-cut texture typical of 1966 Topps is present and not penalized. Surface: gloss appears intact with no visible creases consistent with seller's claim, though some minor print grain/snow is present which is normal for the issue — back is unseen and cannot be evaluated from this photo, and corner sharpness under close inspection could push the grade in either direction.
