1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #16 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border ~8mm, right border ~5mm, top border ~5mm, bottom border ~7mm — approximately 60/40 L/R and 58/42 T/B, which is acceptable for mid-grade but borders are uneven. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (upper-left and lower-right appear most worn), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some light gloss loss and minor toning/aging typical of A&BC British issues; no creases are clearly visible from this photo but the card has enough wear that a light surface crease cannot be ruled out on the reverse. Edges appear slightly rough but within normal parameters for this British issue; overall condition points to a PSA 4 VG-EX as the most likely grade, with EX (5) possible if corners are cleaner than they appear and no hidden creases exist.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~70/30 L-R), top border slightly tighter than bottom (~55/45 T-B), so horizontal centering is a meaningful concern. All four corners show visible rounding and wear — none are sharp, consistent with a VG to VG-EX range at best. The card surface shows significant general soiling, toning, and gloss loss across the face; the image area itself has a matte, worn appearance typical of a heavily handled vintage A&BC card. Edges appear rough but A&BC cuts are inherently coarser than Topps US issues so this is partially normalized; however, the overall surface condition and rounded corners push this firmly into the VG (3) neighborhood, with the range widened to account for the possibility of hidden creases or back condition issues not visible in this single front photo.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B) - off-center but within moderate range, no miscut visible. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and lower-right appear softer), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some toning/yellowing on the cream border areas typical of A&BC vintage stock, and there is noticeable gloss loss with some light scuffing or surface wear visible under the sleeve glare. No obvious hard creases are visible from this single front photo, but the sleeve glare obscures a portion of the center surface making it impossible to rule out light surface creasing; the back is unseen. Overall impression is a well-loved but presentable card landing in the VG-EX (4) range, with EX (5) possible if corners are sharper than they appear and the hidden surface is clean.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-to-right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (roughly 60/40 top-to-bottom) — centering is off but not miscut territory. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding/softening consistent with a VG-EX to EX range; no sharp points remain but no extreme blunting either. Surface: there is moderate gloss loss across the card face with some toning/aging consistent with a 1966 British issue; no obvious creases are detectable from this photo though a light surface crease cannot be ruled out on the right side. Edges appear reasonably clean with the rough cut typical of A&BC cards; back condition and any hidden creases remain unverifiable from this single front image.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approx 60/40 left-right favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approx 55/45 top-bottom) - centering is acceptable for a 5-6 range. Corners show light rounding on at least the visible corners, particularly lower-left and upper-left, consistent with EX to EX-MT wear. Surface appears to retain decent gloss with no obvious creases visible in the image, though the photo angle and slight sleeve glare limit a definitive surface read. Edges look reasonably clean with typical rough-cut texture normal for A&BC printings; no staining or print defects readily apparent, but the back is unseen and A&BC cards often show toning - range is widened accordingly.

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) - centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-right most apparent), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some toning/aging on the cream border typical of A&BC stock, and there is light surface wear/gloss loss visible across the card face. No obvious creases are detectable from this photo, but the card is photographed at a slight angle and back is unseen, so a hidden crease cannot be ruled out. The rough cut edges are normal for A&BC/British issues and are not penalized. Overall condition reads as a borderline VG-EX (4) with upside to EX (5) if corners are slightly better than they appear, and downside to VG (3) if a surface crease is present on the reverse.
