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

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) — off-center left-to-right is the primary concern. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most notably the upper-left and lower-left, consistent with moderate handling wear. Surface displays some gloss loss and light toning on the white border areas, with minor print speckling typical of the 1966 Topps Batman issue. No creases are definitively visible in this scan, but the border toning and corner wear push the grade toward VG-EX range; if a light crease is present (not confirmed from this image), grade would fall to VG (3).

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55-60% right-heavy), top and bottom borders appear reasonably balanced at roughly 55/45 top-heavy - acceptable but not tight. The note 'corner wear' is self-disclosed by the seller and is consistent with what the photo shows: corners appear softened with visible rounding, particularly on the lower-left, pushing away from NM territory. Surface gloss appears present but somewhat reduced; no creases are visible from this angle. Edges look intact with no obvious nicks; the COMC watermark obscures a portion of the center surface making full surface assessment impossible, but no staining or major print defects are apparent. Grade range of 4-6 reflects corner wear as the primary limiting factor, with the point estimate of 5 (EX) accounting for light rounding and modest gloss loss consistent with typical handling wear on a nearly 60-year-old card.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top and bottom borders appear closer to 55/45 T-B — centering is off but not severely so. Corners appear to show light-to-moderate rounding on at least two visible corners (lower left and lower right), consistent with an EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears present but the COMC watermark stamp obscures a significant portion of the card face, making it impossible to assess surface wear, print defects, or staining beneath it — this is a meaningful obstruction that widens the range. Edges appear clean with no obvious major creases visible, though the stamp prevents full confirmation; rough cut edges are normal for this issue and not penalized.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R), top border slightly tighter than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) — centering is acceptable for a 6-7 range. Corners appear lightly worn with very mild rounding visible on at least two corners (upper-left and lower-left), consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Edges look reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible at this resolution. Surface shows good color saturation and apparent gloss retention with no visible creases, though the COMC watermark obscures the center of the card and prevents confident assessment of any surface wear, print snow, or staining in that zone. Vintage rough-cut edges are present but normal for this issue and not penalized.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (roughly 70/30 left-right favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 top-bottom) — centering is off but not catastrophically so for this issue. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding under inspection; no sharp points remain, consistent with VG to VG-EX range. Surface: gloss appears partially intact with some dulling evident; no creases are clearly visible in this photo though the seller does not self-disclose one, and image resolution limits crease detection with confidence. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious fraying beyond normal vintage handling wear; the Canadian/O-Pee-Chee attribution cannot be confirmed from the front alone.

Centering estimate: left border ~15%, right border ~10%, top border ~12%, bottom border ~8% - card runs slightly right-heavy and bottom-heavy, approximately 60/40 L/R and 60/40 T/B, which is borderline acceptable for vintage but not ideal. Corners show visible rounding at all four corners, most notably the lower-right and lower-left, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling visible, no obvious creases detected in this photo though the sleeve glare obscures portions of the left edge and lower area. Edges appear reasonably clean for a 1966 Topps issue where rough cuts are typical; no staining or writing visible, but the hidden back and obscured corners prevent confidence above EX(5) — range reflects corner rounding as the primary grade driver.

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.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L-R), top border is noticeably narrower than bottom (~60/40 T-B) — centering is acceptable for EX range but not tight enough for NM territory. Corners: all four corners show some rounding visible at this resolution — upper-right and lower-left appear softest, consistent with light-to-moderate wear placing this in the EX to VG-EX range. Edges appear clean with no obvious nicks visible, consistent with normal vintage handling. Surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases, staining, or heavy print defects, though print snow common to the issue may be present in the dark areas; the seller's 'EX' self-assessment appears reasonable. Cannot confirm back condition or rule out hidden surface creases from this single front image, hence the range is widened to 4–6.

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 EX range. Corners: the photo is not close enough to assess all four corners precisely, but at least two corners (upper left and lower left) appear to show some rounding/softening consistent with light wear; no sharp razor corners visible. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks or tears, though the pink border shows some age toning typical of this issue. Surface shows expected vintage gloss loss and some minor print texture; no creases are visible from this angle, though the image perspective and resolution prevent a definitive crease check. The card appears to sit solidly in the EX (5) range, with VG-EX (4) as a floor if corner rounding proves worse under inspection and EX-MT (6) as a ceiling if corners are better than they appear here.
