1966 Topps Batman Riddler Back #24 A Desperate Leap

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so. Corners show visible rounding/wear at all four corners, most apparent at the bottom corners; these look like VG-EX to EX range damage. The black border (which shows wear readily) displays some lightening along the edges, suggesting handling wear. Surface gloss appears partially intact but diminished, consistent with mid-grade; no obvious creases are visible from this photo though the slight card curve and angle make a definitive crease call impossible. The seller's 'EX' self-description is plausible but optimistic — corner rounding visible even at this resolution pulls it toward VG-EX (4) as the most likely grade, with EX (5) possible if corners are better than they appear and no hidden creases exist on the back.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top and bottom borders appear roughly even (~50/50 T/B) — centering is not the primary concern here. The card shows significant overall wear consistent with a GD-VG range: corner wear is heavy with visible rounding on all four corners visible in the scan, surface shows multiple creases (at least one prominent diagonal crease visible in the lower-left quadrant and additional stress lines across the face), and the black border is heavily chipped and worn with toning throughout. There is also significant edge wear and what appears to be soiling or staining on portions of the border. The COM-C watermark partially obscures the surface assessment but enough is visible to confirm the heavy wear pattern; a back inspection would be needed to confirm no writing or additional damage.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B) — acceptable for vintage but not tight. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in the scan, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. The black border, which is particularly unforgiving of edge wear and chipping, shows some fading/wear along the edges but no catastrophic chipping visible. Surface gloss appears moderately retained with some loss, no obvious hard creases discernible in this scan, though the CoMC watermark obscures the center surface. The rough cut on the right edge is typical for this 1966 Topps issue and should not be penalized. Overall condition reads mid-grade; without corner closeups and a clean unobstructed surface view, the range must stay wide.
