1966 A&BC Batman Bat Laffs #31 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approximately 65/35 T/B), so centering is off but not catastrophically miscut. The most significant issue is a visible diagonal crease or surface scratch running across the center of the card (a white line clearly visible across the document/image area), which is a hard grade-cap defect consistent with PSA 3 or below. Corners appear rounded with visible wear, consistent with heavy handling typical of a VG-range card. Gloss appears largely gone and the surface shows general toning and wear consistent with a well-used 57-year-old British issue. The crease alone pushes this toward PSA 2-3 territory; without additional back-of-card information the range widens slightly upward to 4 on the chance the crease is shallower than it appears.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering acceptable for a 5-6 range. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding at all four tips, most visible at bottom corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible in this scan, though the image resolution limits confident crease detection. Edges appear slightly rough but this is normal for A&BC cuts; no adjacent card printing intrudes so no miscut concern. Overall impression is an honest EX (5) with upside to EX-MT (6) if corners and surface prove cleaner under direct inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border marginally wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonable but not tight. Corners show light rounding on all four, most visible at the lower-left and upper-right, suggesting moderate handling wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface appears to retain decent gloss with no obvious creases visible in this image, though the photo does not permit definitive crease exclusion. Edges look reasonably clean with no major nicks apparent; the rough cut texture typical of A&BC issues is present and should not be penalized. Back condition, which is critical for confirming grade ceiling, is not visible.
