1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #10

Centering: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (approx 65/35 T/B), so centering is passable but not tight. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding — not sharp, consistent with moderate handling wear; no corner is catastrophically bent but none qualifies as EX or better. Surface: some light gloss loss is apparent, no obvious heavy creases visible in the image, though subtle surface wear cannot be fully ruled out from a single photo at this resolution. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major tears or paper loss; back condition is unknown and could adjust the grade up or down — a VG-EX (4) is the most likely outcome pending back inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border notably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B), so vertical centering is the primary concern pushing toward EX-MT or below. Corners: the visible corners show mild-to-moderate rounding, consistent with EX to VG-EX range — no sharp points evident but no severe rounding either. Surface and gloss: the card retains reasonable gloss with color printing appearing vivid and clean; no obvious creases detected in the image, though the photo angle and watermark partially obscure surface texture assessment. Edges appear reasonably clean with no severe roughness beyond what is typical for A&BC British cut stock; the card is raw and housed in a plastic sleeve/holder, limiting full corner and back inspection — range widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border ~10%, right border ~15%, top border ~12%, bottom border ~18%, giving approximately 60/40 L/R and 65/35 T/B — centering is acceptable but off. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most notably the top-left and bottom-right, consistent with handling wear. Surface shows mild gloss loss with some toning/aging on the white border areas typical of this 1966 A&BC issue; no creases are clearly visible in the photo but the toned/mottled border texture could conceal light surface wrinkles. The image is sharp enough to assess the front but edge and corner detail is partially obscured by the sleeve, which limits confidence — a raw card showing this level of corner rounding without visible creases typically grades in the VG-EX (4) range, with EX (5) possible if corners are less rounded than they appear and no hidden creases exist on the reverse.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right border (~70/30 left-right off-center, favoring right); top and bottom borders appear more balanced at roughly 55/45. No miscut detected. Corners show visible rounding at all four corners, most apparent at top-left and bottom-left, consistent with VG to VG-EX wear range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and some light toning typical of A&BC British issue stock; no creases are definitively visible in this photo though the image resolution makes it difficult to rule out a light surface crease entirely. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chips or tears. The seller's VG+ self-assessment (roughly PSA 4 territory) aligns with what is visible — rounding corners and left-right centering drag the grade down from EX, landing most likely at PSA 4 VG-EX, with PSA 3 a real possibility if a crease is confirmed on inspection.
