1966 Topps Batman Riddler Back #16 Hide-and-Go-Riddle — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly 10-12% wider than right border, top border slightly wider than bottom — approximate L/R ratio ~55/45, T/B ~55/45, so centering is passable but not sharp. Corners: at this photo resolution all four corners appear to have some rounding or soft wear — no razor-sharp corners visible, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious major nicks visible, though 1966 Topps rough cuts are expected. Surface gloss appears moderate with no obvious creases visible, but the COMC watermark obscures the center of the image making crease/print defect assessment unreliable. The photo resolution and central obstruction prevent confident assessment of surface condition and corner sharpness; the range is deliberately wide to reflect this uncertainty.

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 looks reasonably acceptable, likely within EX to NM range on that axis alone. The large CON watermark obscures the card center and prevents reliable assessment of surface gloss, print defects, and any creasing in that zone. Corners appear to show some rounding or softness at the lower-left and upper-right from this distance, but the photo angle and watermark prevent confident corner grading. Edges appear intact without obvious chipping or tears; the white border shows some toning consistent with vintage 1966 Topps stock, which is normal for the issue. Range is widened significantly due to the watermark obstruction — a clean high-resolution scan of all four corners and the back would be needed to narrow this estimate.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R skew, within acceptable range), top border appears slightly tighter than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B), so centering is passable but not tight. Corners are difficult to assess precisely due to the COMC watermark and the compressed scan resolution — no obvious severe rounding is visible but fine corner wear cannot be ruled out. Edges appear reasonably clean with no gross roughness beyond expected vintage rough-cut characteristics normal for this set. Surface gloss looks moderate with no obvious creases visible from this photo, but the central watermark obscures any surface wrinkles or print defects that may exist in that zone. The compressed seller scan quality and central obstruction prevent reliable corner-grade discrimination between EX (5) and EX-MT (6), so the range is widened accordingly; a point estimate of 5 reflects cautious middle ground.
