1966 Topps Batman Red Bat #8A Tentacled Terror

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (roughly 55L/45R or close), top border appears narrower than bottom (approximately 60T/40B) — centering is reasonably strong, consistent with the seller's EX-NM claim. Corners: from this distance the corners appear reasonably sharp with possible very light rounding on one or two — no obvious blunting or heavy wear visible, but the card stand obscures the lower corners somewhat limiting confidence. Surface and gloss appear largely intact with no visible creases, staining, or major print defects; some expected vintage print texture is present. Edges look relatively clean with no obvious nicks visible along the top or sides; a full corner and edge assessment is not possible from this single front-only photo, so the range is widened to account for hidden back or corner condition.

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 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 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.
