1966 Topps Batman Riddler Back #22 Awesome Foursome — Raw

The seller has self-disclosed TRIMMING, which is a fatal flaw under PSA grading standards and results in a PSA Authentic (Altered) designation rather than a numeric grade — effectively uncradeable for numeric purposes. Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~40/60 L/R), top and bottom borders appear moderately uneven (~45/55 T/B), but trimming supersedes all centering analysis. The card surface shows visible color fading and age-appropriate wear consistent with a 55+ year old card. If trimming is confirmed on submission, PSA will not assign a numeric grade and will label it Altered; this card has no realistic path to a clean numeric grade above 1 (PR-FR) if trimming is present, and should be treated as an altered card for valuation purposes.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) - centering itself is not the primary concern here. The card shows severe wear consistent with a PR-FR to GOOD grade: the black border shows heavy chipping, scuffing, and surface loss particularly along the bottom edge and corners; all four corners appear heavily rounded and worn with visible paper degradation; there is noticeable overall surface wear and likely creasing visible in the image, consistent with the seller's 'Poor' self-disclosure. The card appears to be a genuine Canadian (O-Pee-Chee) printing as noted by seller. Given the extent of border and corner damage visible even in this resolution, PSA 1 is the most likely grade, with a small chance it escapes to a 2 if the surface damage is lighter than it appears.

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly equal to right (~50/50 L/R); top border slightly thinner than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering itself is not the primary issue. The card shows significant surface wear including at least one visible diagonal crease/scratch running across the upper-left portion of the image area (clearly visible as a light line), and the black border at top shows heavy wear/chipping consistent with a well-used card. All four corners appear rounded and show wear, with the top-left and bottom-left corners looking most stressed. Gloss appears largely gone. The combination of rounded corners, visible surface crease/scratch lines, and border wear collectively place this in the Good (2) to VG (3) range; the creasing and corner wear are the primary grade-limiting factors.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly larger than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners are difficult to assess precisely due to photo resolution and the central watermark, but visible corners appear to show some rounding/softening consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows the typical 1966 Topps print characteristics with no obvious creases visible from this image, though gloss level is hard to judge from a scan of this quality. The image is too soft and obstructed by the watermark to confidently assess corner sharpness, edge wear, or surface gloss — the true grade could reasonably fall anywhere from VG (3) to EX-MT (6), and a back-of-card inspection would be needed to narrow this further.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top and bottom borders look relatively even (~55/45 T/B), suggesting moderate left-to-right miscentering but not severe enough to cap grade alone. The ComC watermark obscures the card surface significantly, making surface condition assessment (gloss, print defects, staining) unreliable. Corners appear to show some rounding at the visible edges, consistent with VG-EX to EX range, but fine corner detail is lost in this scan resolution. No obvious creases are visible from the front, but the back is not shown and the scan quality precludes ruling out surface wear or light creasing. Wide range reflects limited ability to assess from a low-resolution ComC scan with watermark obstruction; a clean high-resolution scan would narrow this considerably.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65-70% left bias), top border slightly wider than bottom — approximate L/R ~65/35, T/B ~55/45, suggesting off-center but not miscut. All four corners show visible rounding and wear, with the top-left and bottom-right corners appearing most affected. Surface shows significant overall wear with what appears to be gloss loss across much of the image area and possible light creasing near the upper portion of the card, though compression in this photo makes it difficult to confirm a hard crease definitively. Edges appear rough but this is consistent with normal vintage 1966 Topps Batman cutting; the combination of rounded corners, off-centering, and apparent surface/gloss degradation points to a VG (3) grade, with VG-EX (4) possible if the surface is cleaner than it appears and GOOD (2) possible if a crease is confirmed on closer inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 65-70% left bias), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 — centering is off-center left/right, likely in the 70/30 to 75/25 range horizontally which would cap around grade 4-5. Corners are difficult to assess precisely due to watermark and scan resolution, but visible corners show some rounding suggesting moderate wear consistent with VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears present but muted; no obvious creases are visible though the image resolution prevents confident crease ruling. The white borders show some toning/aging typical of the set, and the overall presentation suggests a well-handled mid-grade copy; range is wide due to inability to closely inspect corners, edges, and back.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 60/40 L/R), top and bottom borders look relatively balanced (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for NM-EX range. The black border frame of the card (this is the card's own decorative border, not a printing border) shows no obvious chipping. Corners appear lightly worn but not severely rounded — suggesting EX-MT to NM territory; no razor sharpness is discernible at this resolution but no obvious blunting either. Surface gloss appears present with no visible creases, though the card exhibits a noticeable warp/curl that PSA would note but does not directly affect the numeric grade. The photo angle and small image size prevent confident corner and edge assessment, so the range is widened accordingly; seller's 'NM-MINT' claim feels slightly optimistic but not wildly off.
