1966 Topps Batman Red Bat #5A Pendulum Peril

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not severely miscut, no adjacent card printing visible. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on the visible lower-left and upper-left corners; right-side corners are harder to assess. Surface gloss appears present but the COMC watermark obscures the central image area, making print defect and surface wear assessment difficult. Edges appear reasonably clean with typical vintage rough-cut texture expected for this issue. Seller's self-disclosed 'hg6' aligns loosely with my estimate; the off-centering is the primary grade-suppressor here, keeping a ceiling around EX-MT (6) with EX (5) as most likely.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55-60% left / 40-45% right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45) — centering is acceptable for a 6-7 range. Corners: top-left and bottom-left corners appear reasonably sharp with minimal rounding visible; top-right and bottom-right corners show very slight softening but no heavy wear — consistent with EX-MT range. Edges appear clean with no obvious nicks or rough tears beyond normal vintage rough-cut texture for this set. Surface shows intact gloss with no visible creases confirmed, consistent with seller's claim; there is some minor print texture/snow typical of the set but no alarming surface defects. Back is not visible, limiting full assessment; the slight perspective distortion in the photo also makes precise corner and edge evaluation difficult, widening the range slightly.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 65-70% left, 30-35% right L/R), and top border is slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T/B) — centering is off-center left, consistent with EX-MT to NM range but not a disqualifying miscut. Corners: all four corners appear reasonably sharp from this distance with no obvious rounding visible; the lower-left and upper-right corners look the cleanest, though fine-tip wear cannot be ruled out without a closeup. Surface/gloss: the image shows reasonable gloss retention with no visible creases, staining, or print defects beyond typical 1966 Topps print snow which is not penalized; edges appear clean with the rough-cut texture normal for this issue. The left-heavy centering is the primary grade limiter, placing the card comfortably in the EX-MT (6) range with upside to NM (7) if corners prove sharper under inspection.

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 respectable and not a major grade penalty. Corners appear reasonably sharp from this distance with no obvious rounding visible on the two corners most exposed (bottom-left, top-left), though the top-loader and slight glare partially obscure fine corner detail. Surface shows good color saturation and gloss appears intact with no visible creases or staining. Edges appear clean with no major nicks visible; vintage rough-cut texture is normal for this issue and not penalized. The sleeve glare on the right side prevents a definitive read of the right-side corners and edge, so the range is widened accordingly — a closer corner inspection could push this toward 7 or drop it to 5 if hidden wear is present.
