1966 Series B Topps Batman Blue Bat Puzzle Back
PSA 6 Trading Card #7B
Title: The Grim Gladiator
The 1966 Topps Batman Puzzle Back Card Set consists of 44 standard
size cards. The card fronts feature color drawings of scenes of
Batman and Robin fighting evil villains, with an outline of a blue bat,
containing the card title in white letters.
The fronts of the1966 Topps Batman Puzzle Back cards can be
confused with the similar "Blue Bat Back" cards, because it has the
blue bat on its' front - can be easily identified by the puzzle and short
text on the reverse side on the card backs - instead of the huge blue bat.
Also known as the Batman B Series, because of the letter
"B" that follows the card number on the back, this was one of six
Batman sets issued in 1966.
Norman Saunders is the Artist
While he might be best
known for painting the infamously banned Mars Attacks cards, his work with
Batman brings a level of shark-fighting, acid-throwing, sidekick-endangering
action -- and a slightly off-model Joker -- that's just fantastic.
This card was produced by Topps.

The 10 point Grading Scale: Poor (P) or Fair (F) 1: A card that has seen serious
abuse or has a hole in it. Good (G) 2: This grade is usually the result of heavy
corner rounding, surface wear or creases. Any card with writing on it falls
in this category. (Writing other than an autograph of course). Very Good (VG) 3: A card that looks good from a
distance, but on closer inspection several defects can be seen without
magnification. This is the highest rating possible on a creased card. Very Good /
Excellent (VGEX) 4: This is the highest grade that a card can have with a
small wrinkle. A wrinkle is a crease that can be seen on only one side of the
card. Excellent
(EX) 5: This grade
is for cards that look really good, but show some wear. Excellent /
Mint (EXMT) 6: A card that looks mint, but upon close examination defects can be seen
without magnification. Near Mint
(NM) 7: A card that
looks mint, but upon examination with magnification, defects can be seen
usually on edges and corners. This grade is often given to cards that are new
right out of the packages. This is the best grade I would assume any
"raw" card is in unless it has been professionally graded higher.
Many sellers will tell you the card they are selling is a higher grade, but
unless the card is professionally graded higher, that is just so much seller
verbiage. I would always assume any new card right out of the package is Near
Mint when making a buying decision. The best dealers describe new raw cards
as Near Mint. Near Mint /
Mint (NMMT) 8: A card that looks mint, but upon examination with strong magnification
and bright light, very small defects can be detected usually on edges and
corners. This is another grade common to new cards right out of the package
and professionally graded. Grades higher than Near Mint / Mint are rare. The
main reason a new card is not mint is that the cutting blades leave marks on
the edges and corners. To consistently get mint cards the blades would have
to be sharpened often and the surface of the blades polished to avoid any
blade marks. Mint (MT) 9: Mint basically
means very nearly prefect in every regard. Gem Mint or Perfect (GEM) 10: A mint card with extra
appeal. This usually means a brighter than usual surface. Some graders give in between grades like NM+ to
indicate these are cards at the higher end of the grade. |
