1966 Topps Batman Red Bat #8A Tentacled Terror — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B) - within EX-MT to NM range for centering. Corners appear to show light rounding on at least the visible lower-left and upper-left corners, consistent with EX to EX-MT wear; upper-right corner looks relatively sharp but the COMC watermark partially obscures center evaluation. Surface gloss appears present with good color saturation and no obvious creases visible; some minor print texture consistent with vintage 1966 Topps production norms. The back is not visible and corner closeups are unavailable, so a wider range is warranted - this card presents most likely as a PSA 6 EX-MT but could grade as low as 5 EX if corner rounding is more pronounced than the image reveals, or as high as 7 NM if corners are sharper than they appear under the slight image compression.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) - centering is acceptable and does not cap the grade. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on all four corners visible in the photo; no corner is sharp, but none appears severely worn - consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface presents reasonable gloss retention with no visible creases from this angle, though the back cannot be assessed. Edges appear clean with no major nicks visible. The seller's 'VgEx' self-assessment aligns reasonably with what is visible; the point estimate of 5 (EX) reflects the corner rounding with the caveat that a hidden back-side flaw or subtle surface crease could push this toward a 4.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-right), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 top-bottom) - centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners discernible at this resolution, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and possible light wear; the COM watermark obscures a significant portion of the card face making surface defect assessment unreliable. No creases are clearly visible but the image resolution and watermark obstruction prevent confident assessment - range is widened accordingly to reflect genuine uncertainty about surface and corner conditions.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~60-65% left / 35-40% right L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), so moderate left-heavy miscentering in the EX-MT to VG-EX range but not severely OC. The seller's title contains 'READ' suggesting a disclosed flaw; the note states 'corner wear' which is visible - at least two corners (upper-left and lower-left) show rounding/wear consistent with a 4 VG-EX or possibly 3 VG grade. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some loss visible. No obvious creases are detectable from this single front photo, but the back is unseen. White borders show some toning typical of this 1966 issue. Overall condition is consistent with a well-handled card in the VG-EX range, with corner wear being the primary grade-limiting factor.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~70/30 L-R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T-B), so left-right centering is the primary concern pushing toward OC territory. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in this view (lower-left and lower-right appear softened), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some general gloss loss and what appears to be light toning on the white border areas, consistent with age; no obvious creases are visible but the watermark obscures the center of the card making crease detection unreliable. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major chips or tears noted; rough cut texture is normal for this vintage issue and not penalized.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60% right-heavy), top border slightly narrower than bottom, roughly 65/35 L-R and 60/40 T-B - centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding and wear, consistent with the seller's note of 'corner wear' - all four corners appear soft with no sharp points remaining, placing this in the VG range on corners alone. The seller explicitly discloses a crease, which is taken seriously per grading protocol; a visible crease on a vintage card drops the grade to VG (3) or below. Surface gloss appears partially intact but with evident wear and possible light soiling. The disclosed crease combined with rounded corners and the noted corner wear anchors this in the VG to VG-EX range, with the crease likely pulling it to a PSA 3 VG as the most probable outcome; a 4 is possible only if the crease is very faint and shallow.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (~60/40 or worse left/right), top border slightly tighter than bottom (~55/45 top/bottom) - centering is off but not catastrophically so. All four corners show visible rounding consistent with VG-range wear; no corner is sharp. Surface shows moderate gloss loss across the image area with some scuffing or granular wear visible particularly in the center of the artwork, and the card exhibits general toning/aging on the white border area. No obvious hard crease is definitively confirmed from this single photo though the surface texture and seller's 'VG' disclosure suggest possible light creasing. The card back is not visible, which could reveal additional defects; the angle and lighting partially obscure fine corner and edge detail, warranting a widened range.

Centering estimate: Left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left bias), top border appears modestly wider than bottom, roughly 60/40 L/R and 55/45 T/B - acceptable but not tight. Corners appear to show mild rounding on at least the visible lower corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; upper corners are harder to assess at this resolution. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible, and the image/print quality looks clean with good color saturation typical of this set. Edges appear reasonably clean with no dramatic fraying, though the COMC watermark partially obscures surface assessment; back is not visible, limiting full evaluation.

Centering estimate: left border appears approximately 10-11% wider than right border (roughly 60/40 L/R favoring left), top border slightly wider than bottom at approximately 55/45 T/B - centering is acceptable for a 6-7 range on its own. Corners: the top-left and bottom-left corners show visible blunting and minor rounding under inspection; top-right appears slightly soft; bottom-right is the sharpest - consistent with a 5 EX to 6 EX-MT range. Surface: the COMC watermark obscures the center of the card face, making it impossible to fully assess print snow or surface wear; what is visible shows decent gloss retention with some light toning on the white border areas typical of the set. Edges appear clean with no tears; the rough-cut texture on the left edge is normal for 1966 Topps Batman and has not been penalized. Estimate capped at 6 due to corner wear; cannot rule out hidden surface issues beneath the watermark.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approximately 65/35 T-B) — off-center but not miscut, no adjacent card printing visible. Corners appear rounded with visible wear, consistent with a VG to VG-EX range; no sharp corners are evident under this photo resolution. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and some light toning typical of O-Pee-Chee stock aging; no obvious hard creases are visible from this angle but the photo angle and lighting may obscure light surface creases. Seller's 'Very Good' self-assessment aligns with the visible condition; the back cannot be assessed, and corner/edge detail is somewhat softened by photo angle, warranting a widened range of 3–5.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left bias), top border marginally thicker than bottom — approximate L/R ~60/40, T/B ~55/45, which is acceptable for a mid-grade. Corners appear to have light rounding consistent with EX/VG-EX range — no sharp points visible but no severe rounding either. The seller discloses a 'light ripple' which is a surface defect that would suppress grade; surface waves/ripple are visible upon inspection and would concern PSA graders, likely pushing the card away from EX-MT territory. No creases are visible in the image consistent with seller's disclosure. Gloss appears moderate with some light wear but no major staining or print defects beyond typical 1966 Topps print snow; back is not visible so hidden defects (creases, writing) could lower the floor further.
