1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #19 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears approximately 4mm, right border approximately 6-7mm, giving roughly 60/40 L/R; top border approximately 5mm, bottom border approximately 7mm, giving roughly 58/42 T/B — centering is off but not severely so. Corners: the top-left and bottom-left corners appear to show light rounding/soft wear; top-right and bottom-right are harder to assess cleanly through the sleeve but appear similar — no sharp knife corners evident, consistent with a 5 EX range. Surface and edges: the card shows some toning/aging on the yellow background consistent with a 1966 A&BC printing, minor print irregularities visible but typical for the set; no visible creases from this angle though the sleeve obscures fine surface detail. Overall the card presents cleanly for its age with light corner wear and off-center left/right, placing it in the EX to VG-EX range; back is unviewable so staining or creasing there could push the grade lower.

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (approx 60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (upper-left and lower-left appear most worn), consistent with VG-EX range. Surface shows some toning/yellowing typical of A&BC British issues of this era and some gloss reduction, but no obvious heavy creases are visible in this scan. Edges appear reasonably clean with no catastrophic chipping; card back is not visible so hidden creases or staining cannot be ruled out, widening the range slightly.

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly 15-20% wider than right border (approx 65/35 L/R); top border appears slightly larger than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is not the primary concern here. The card shows significant surface wear including heavy toning and yellowing across the entire face, with multiple visible creases particularly in the lower-left and upper-left quadrants. All four corners appear rounded to heavily rounded with evident fiber stress. Gloss is largely absent with substantial surface scuffing visible. The lower-left corner area shows what appears to be paper stress or a fold crease. Given the heavy wear, rounded corners, multiple creases, and significant gloss loss, this card falls solidly in the GOOD to VG range; a PSA 2 appears most likely, with VG (3) possible only if some surface damage reads better in hand.

Centering estimate: left border ~8mm, right border ~5mm, top border ~5mm, bottom border ~7mm — approximately 62/38 left-to-right and 58/42 top-to-bottom, which is acceptable for a 7-8 range on centering alone but other factors pull the grade down. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (top-left and bottom-right appear softer), consistent with EX territory. Surface presents reasonably well with apparent retained gloss and no obvious creases visible, though the watermark obscures the lower-center surface. Edges appear slightly rough but this is normal for A&BC cuts of this era and should not be penalized heavily; no miscut detected. Overall condition reads as EX (5) with the possibility of EX-MT (6) if corners are sharper than they appear — back condition unknown.
