1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #11 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border ~35%, right border ~65% left-to-right — noticeably right-heavy, approximately 65/35 L/R; top border slightly wider than bottom, roughly 55/45 T/B — centering is a meaningful concern but not catastrophic. Corners: at this resolution the top-left and bottom-left corners appear slightly rounded with light wear; top-right and bottom-right are less visible but suggest similar light rounding consistent with an EX range card. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible from this angle; some light print grain/snow typical of A&BC stock is present but not severe. Edges appear reasonably clean with no dramatic chipping; the rough-cut character normal for A&BC/British issues does not penalize here, but the off-centering and corner rounding together land this in the EX (5) neighborhood, with EX-MT (6) possible if corners are sharper under magnification.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable, not an OC concern. Corners show visible rounding on at least two visible corners (bottom-left and bottom-right most apparent), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows moderate toning/age-related soiling across the image area and what appears to be some light gloss loss, though the A&BC stock on these British cards is inherently rougher than Topps US. No obvious hard creases are visible in this photo, but the sleeve glare and single-photo limitation prevent ruling them out. Edges appear slightly rough but this is characteristic of A&BC rough-cut production and should not be over-penalized. Overall condition points to a VG-EX (4) most likely, with EX (5) possible if corners are sharper than they appear and no hidden creases exist on reverse.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 70/30 left-to-right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 top-to-bottom) — centering is off but not catastrophically so for this issue. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible from this angle, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some toning and age-appropriate gloss loss across the image area; the card stock appears to have the typical A&BC lighter stock characteristics. No obvious creases are visible from this photo but the image compression and sleeve glare make it difficult to rule out light surface creasing definitively. The rough-cut edges typical of A&BC cards are present and should not be penalized. Range of 3–5 reflects corner rounding and centering concerns weighed against the absence of confirmed creases.

Centering estimate: left border ~12%, right border ~8%, top border ~10%, bottom border ~10% — left/right reads roughly 60/40 to 65/35, acceptable but slightly left-heavy; top/bottom appears close to 50/50. All four corners show light rounding visible at this resolution, consistent with EX to VG-EX range — no sharp points remaining but no severe rounding either. Surface appears to retain moderate gloss with no obvious creases visible from this angle, though the sleeve glare partially obscures the lower-right quadrant. Edges appear reasonably clean with no dramatic chipping or tears; A&BC cards typically show rougher cuts which I am not penalizing. Overall the card presents solidly in the EX range, with corner rounding being the primary grade-limiting factor.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not dramatically so. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most pronounced at bottom-left and top-right, consistent with significant handling wear. Edges appear rough but this is typical of A&BC cuts and not penalized heavily. Surface shows notable toning/browning across the card stock (expected for a ~60-year-old British issue), with what appears to be gloss loss and possible light surface creasing in the lower-left quadrant — hard to confirm definitively due to the watermark overlay and image resolution. No obvious hard creases or tears visible, but the overall wear profile (rounded corners, toning, gloss loss) places this firmly in the VG to VG-EX range; a crease I cannot rule out keeps the floor at 2.
