1966 Topps Batman Riddler Back #9 Batmobile Breakdown

Centering: left/right borders appear roughly 45/55, top/bottom roughly 50/50 — centering itself is not the primary issue. The card shows severe surface wear throughout: heavy diagonal and crossing creases are visible across the entire face, significant paper stress lines, and the corners show advanced rounding and fraying — all four corners appear badly worn. The black border is heavily chipped and worn with substantial paper loss visible at multiple corners and edges. Gloss is essentially gone. This card is in GOOD to POOR condition at best; the multiple deep creases and corner paper loss push this toward PSA 1-2 territory.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (approx 60/40 L/R), top border appears slightly tighter than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. No miscut detected. Corners are difficult to assess precisely at this resolution but appear to show some rounding or soft wear at the tips, consistent with a card that has seen some handling — pointing toward EX to VG-EX range. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible, though the scan softness prevents confident assessment of subtle surface wear or print defects. The wide range reflects limited resolution and inability to inspect corners and edges closely; a collector should examine corners under magnification and check the reverse for any creases or staining before committing to a submission.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border appears slightly narrower than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not severely so, likely in the 4-5 range on its own. The COMC watermark obscures the lower-center surface, making surface assessment difficult. Corners appear to show some rounding — upper-left and lower-right corners look softened rather than sharp, consistent with a VG-EX range card. White borders show some toning/aging typical of the set. Overall gloss and surface condition cannot be fully assessed due to the watermark obstruction and scan quality, which forces a wider range; no obvious creases are visible but cannot be ruled out.

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 acceptable but off. The CoMC watermark covers a significant portion of the surface, preventing clear assessment of print defects, gloss level, or surface creases. Corners appear to show light rounding on at least the visible lower-right corner, suggesting EX to VG-EX range. Edges look reasonably clean with no obvious major nicks visible, consistent with normal vintage handling. Without a clean unobstructed photo the range must be widened significantly; collector should seek a clearer image before committing to a submission estimate.
