Product Details1966 Topps Batman Bat Laffs trading card set is one of two released to feature images from the movie starring Adam West, Burt Ward and much of the cast of the campy TV show. That same year, Topps also released three other Batman sets with original artwork.The 55-card checklist has a very basic design on the front. A large photo has a thin white border. A card number is in a small white circle. Images mix promotional shots with stills from the film. Although Batman and Robin are featured heavily within the set, many of the franchise's secondary characters are also present. These include the Joker, the Penguin, the Riddler and Catwoman.Card backs have different puzzle pieces. None have captions, but many have corny joke under a Bat Laffs headline.All cards in 1966 Topps Batman Bat Laffs that have a joke come with two variations. Card backs can be found with or without, "See the BATMAN Motion Picture release by 20th Century-Fox" written above the copyright information.The 1966 Topps Batman Bat Laffs trading card set consists of 55 standard-sized, 2-1/2" by 3-1/2" cards. The name is derived from the title used for the campy jokes featured on the back of each card. Each card bears a color photographic image from the television – including stars Adam West, Burt Ward, Cesar Romero, Burgess Meredith and Frank Gorshin - with a black pinstripe, a circle with the card's number and a white border. The majority of the card backs feature the words "Bat Laffs" printed above a silly question incorporating the word “bat” in the answer; the answer appears below every question, printed upside down in a small font. A few of the card backs did not have a caption, but all of the Bat Laffs cards feature a color photographic image puzzle. This edition is considered to be the most difficult “Batman” issue for modern hobbyists to acquire in high grade.How We Grade: Gem Mint (GMT): (10.0) A flawless card. To be in Gem Mint condition, a card’s borders must have a ratio of 50/50 side to side and top to bottom. Mint (MT): (9.0-9.5) A perfect card. Well-centered with parallel borders which appear equal to the naked eye. Four sharp, square corners. No creases, edge dents, surface scratches, paper flaws, loss of luster, yellowing or fading, regardless of age. No imperfectly printed cards – out of register, badly cut or ink flawed – or card stained by contact with gum, wax or other substances can be considered truly Mint, even if new out of the pack. Generally, to be considered in Mint condition, a card’s borders must exist in a ratio of 60/40 side to side and top to bottom. Near Mint/Mint (NM/MT): (8.0-8.5) A super high-end card that appears Mint 9 at first glance, but upon closer inspection, may exhibit a very slight wax stain on reverse, slight fraying at one or two corners, or a minor printing imperfection. Centering must be app. 65/35 to 70/30 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the reverse. Near Mint (NM): (7.0-7.5) A nearly perfect card at first glance, but upon closer inspection, may have slight surface wear, slight fraying on some corners, slightly out-of-register picture focus, a minor printing blemish or slight wax stain on reverse. Centering must be 70/30 to 75/25 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the reverse. Excellent/Near Mint (EX/NM): (6.0-6.5) Card may have visible surface wear or a printing defect. A very light scratch. Corners may have slightly graduated fraying. Picture focus may be slightly out-of-register. Card may have minor wax stain on reverse, may have very slight nothing on edges. Centering must be 80/20 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the reverse. Excellent (EX): (5.0-5.5) Corners are still fairly sharp with only moderate wear. Card borders may be off center as much as 85/15. No creases. May have very minor gum, wax or product stains, front or back. Surfaces may show slight loss of luster from rubbing across other cards. Dark bordered cards may have one or two small nicks. Very Good/Excellent (VG/EX): (4.0-4.5) Shows obvious handling, but still looks nice. Corners may be rounded or have minor creases. No major creases, tape marks or extraneous markings or writing. Surfaces does exhibit loss of luster, but the printing is intact. May have paper wrinkles. May show major gum, wax or other packaging stains. All four borders visible, though the ratio may be as poor as 95/5. Exhibits honest wear. Very Good (VG): (3.0-3.5) A well-worn card, but exhibits no intentional damage or abuse. May be “Mis-cut or Off-Center” with no border visible. May have major or multiple creases, however, creases are not so deep as to show the underlying paper. This card is completely readable, has not been written on, and has no tape marks or holes. Corner rounding may extend well beyond the border. Good (GD) (2.0-2.5) Shows excessive wear, along with damage or abuse. Will show all the wear characteristics of a Very Good card, along with such damage as thumb tack holes in or near margins, evidence of having been taped or pasted, perhaps small tears around the edges or creases so heavily as to break the cardboard. Backs may show minor added pen or pencil writing or be missing small bits of paper. Still basically a complete card. Poor (P): (1.0-1.5) A card that has been tortured to death. Corners or other areas may be torn off. Card may have been trimmed, show holes from a paper punch or have been used for BB gun practice. Front may have extraneous pen or pencil writing, or other defacement. Major portions of front or back design may be missing. Not a pretty sight.
