1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #13 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (~70/30 L-R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T-B), so horizontal centering is a meaningful concern. Corners show visible rounding on at least the upper-left and lower-left corners visible in frame; upper-right corner appears slightly blunted. Surface shows some gloss loss and possible light soiling or toning consistent with age on this British issue. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious tears but the rough-cut nature typical of A&BC cards is present. No creases are clearly visible from this photo but the image quality and glare prevent ruling one out; a back-of-card inspection would be essential. Range reflects corner wear and centering drag with uncertainty about hidden surface or crease issues.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top and bottom borders appear relatively balanced (~55/45 T/B), so horizontal centering is a concern but not catastrophic. No miscut detected. Corners show visible rounding on at least the bottom-left and top-right corners visible in the scan, consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows moderate toning/aging typical of A&BC British cards with cream-white borders showing light soil or wear; gloss appears partially retained but reduced. No creases are clearly visible from this scan though the COMC watermark obscures the center surface somewhat. The card presents as a solid VG-EX (4) with EX (5) possible if corners are slightly better than they appear and no hidden creases exist on reverse.

Centering estimate: left border ~3mm, right border ~5-6mm, top border ~3mm, bottom border ~5mm — approximately 65/35 L/R and 65/35 T/B, so noticeably off-center but not severely so. Corners appear to show light-to-moderate rounding, most visible at the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some toning/yellowing typical of A&BC British issues on white borders, and there is visible wear/gloss loss across the image surface. No obvious creases are detectable from this angle, though the sleeve glare obscures the lower center area. Edges appear intact with no major chipping. The sleeve/holder limits full corner and surface assessment, widening the range; back condition is unknown.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so. Corners show light rounding on all four, most visible at bottom-left and top-right, consistent with a 5 EX range. Surface presents reasonable gloss retention with no visible creases, though the COMC watermark partially obscures the center image area making a definitive surface call difficult. Edges appear slightly rough but this is typical of A&BC cut quality for the period and should not be over-penalized. No staining or printing defects visible; the off left-right centering and mild corner rounding are the primary grade-limiting factors here.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T-B), so horizontal centering is a meaningful concern. Corners appear rounded at two or more corners visible in the image, consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Gloss appears partially present but the COMC watermark obscures a significant portion of the surface, making surface condition assessment unreliable. No obvious creases are visible in the image, but the watermark obstruction and image quality prevent confident evaluation of the card's surface, edges, or back condition - range is deliberately wide to account for hidden flaws.
