1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #14 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T-B), so centering is off but not catastrophically miscut. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most pronounced at the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with a VG-range card. Surface shows significant toning/yellowing on the white border areas, gloss loss is evident across the face, and there is general surface wear consistent with age and handling. No obvious hard creases are visible in this image but the overall wear pattern, rounded corners, and gloss loss point firmly to VG (3), with VG-EX (4) possible only if corners are slightly better than they appear and no hidden reverse creases exist; GOOD (2) is the floor if a crease is present on the back or corners are worse than visible here.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (approx 70/30 left-right skew), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 top-bottom) — off-center but not severely miscut. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible (lower-left and upper-left), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss across the face with some toning/aging typical of this British A&BC issue; a faint handling crease appears possible in the lower-center area though the photo resolution makes confirmation difficult. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious chips or tears, and no adjacent card printing is visible, ruling out a miscut. The combination of rounded corners, off-center registration, and probable surface wear places this squarely in the 3–5 range, with VG-EX (4) as the most likely outcome pending back inspection.

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 catastrophically so. All four corners show visible rounding and wear, consistent with heavy handling; no corner is sharp. Surface shows significant gloss loss across much of the card face, with visible toning and general soiling/aging typical of unprotected storage for this vintage British issue. No obvious hard crease is visible from this angle but the surface texture and worn corners push this firmly into VG (3) territory, with a range allowing for a light crease hidden from this view pulling it to 2, or slightly better condition than the photo suggests pushing to 4. The rough-cut edges are normal for A&BC production and are not penalized.
