1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #12 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approximately 80/20 left-right), top and bottom borders appear roughly 60/40 top-heavy - centering is off but not catastrophically miscut. Corners show visible rounding on all observable corners, particularly the upper-left and lower-left, consistent with handling wear. Surface shows noticeable toning/aging and what appears to be light gloss loss across the face; no obvious hard creases are confirmed from this image but surface scuffing is possible. The card displays the expected age-related wear for a ~60-year-old British card issue, and the rough cut edges are typical for A&BC production and should not be penalized heavily - overall condition reads as VG to VG-EX range, with corner wear being the primary grade limiter.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T-B) — off-center but not miscut. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most pronounced at the bottom-left and top-left; no crisp points remain. Surface shows moderate gloss loss across the image area and there is noticeable general wear consistent with a well-handled card of this vintage. No obvious hard creases are visible from this photo, but the CoMC watermark and image resolution obscure fine surface detail — a crease cannot be ruled out. Edge wear is present but within normal range for A&BC issues. The combination of rounded corners, centering issues, and surface wear places this squarely in the VG to VG-EX range; without corner closeups the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 L-R), top and bottom borders look relatively even at roughly 55/45 T-B — centering is noticeably off horizontally. All four corners show visible rounding, with the top-left and bottom-left corners appearing most worn; no corner is sharp. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and there is visible toning/yellowing on the cream border areas consistent with age on A&BC stock. No obvious hard crease is visible from this photo, but the image resolution is insufficient to rule out light surface creasing or staining; the rough cut edges are normal for A&BC production and are not penalized. Grade range of 3–5 reflects the rounded corners, off-centering, and gloss loss, with the point estimate of 4 (VG-EX) reflecting no confirmed crease but meaningful corner and centering wear.
