Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55-60% right-heavy), top border appears moderately wider than bottom, rough L/R ~60/40 and T/B ~65/35 — borderline but not severely off-center. Corners appear to show mild to moderate rounding consistent with EX-MT to EX range; no sharp razor corners visible but no heavy rounding either. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible at this resolution; rough cut texture on right edge is typical for this issue and not penalized. Surface shows acceptable gloss with no obvious creases visible, though the photo does not reveal the back or allow close corner inspection — the seller's self-disclosed grade of 'hg6' (hand-graded 6) aligns with the EX-MT assessment. No staining, writing, or major print defects observed.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border appears moderately wider than bottom (~60-65% top), so roughly 60/40 L/R and 65/35 T/B — acceptable for NM to NM-MT range. All four corners appear fairly sharp with no obvious rounding visible at this resolution, though the bottom-left corner shows a very slight softness that may indicate minor wear. Edges look clean with no major nicks or roughness beyond normal vintage cut texture for this set. Surface gloss appears well-preserved with good color saturation and no visible creases consistent with the seller's claim; no significant print snow or toning on the white border is detectable, though the angled photo makes surface assessment imperfect. Back is not visible and corner sharpness cannot be fully confirmed at this magnification, so a one-grade swing in either direction is plausible.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right border — approximately 70/30 left-to-right; top border appears slightly wider than bottom, roughly 55/45 top-to-bottom. The seller's 'OC' disclosure is consistent with what is visible — the left-right imbalance is meaningful and likely qualifies as off-center, which PSA would note with a qualifier and can suppress the numeric grade by one step. Corners appear to show light rounding with no sharp points visible at normal resolution, consistent with EX (PSA 5) to EX-MT (PSA 6) corner wear. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no visible creases, staining, or major print defects observed. The OC centering issue is the primary grade-limiting factor here; without a back view or closer corner inspection the range must remain wide, but PSA 5 OC is the most likely outcome.

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonably good, no severe miscut or OC concern. Corners: all four corners show light-to-moderate rounding visible at this resolution; no sharp points remain, suggesting wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface: gloss appears partially intact with some dulling; no obvious creases are visible in this photo though the back is unseen. Edges appear clean with no significant nicks or tears visible; the rough-cut texture typical of 1966 Topps Batman is present on the top edge and should not be penalized. Without a back photo or corner close-ups, uncertainty remains on whether a hidden crease or heavier surface wear exists, widening the range to 4-6.
