Description: ***** From the Ron Laughrin Collection 1966 Series B Topps Batman Blue Bat Puzzle Back PSA 8 Trading Card #18B Title: The Penguin’s Prey 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.

Ground Advantage 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.
