1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #2

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), so horizontal off-centering is the primary issue. All four corners show visible rounding and wear — no sharp corners remain, with the lower-left and upper-right appearing the most distressed. Edges show roughness consistent with vintage A&BC production cuts, which is normal and not penalized heavily, but there is also some fraying evident on the left edge. Surface shows gloss loss across much of the card face, and there appear to be light handling marks and possible minor creasing near the lower portion of the card, though full crease assessment is limited without a higher-resolution or back image. Overall condition is consistent with a VG (3) grade, with the corner rounding and surface wear precluding a higher mark; a VG-EX (4) ceiling is possible if what appears to be lower surface creasing is only gloss loss.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border marginally wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is not a significant issue here. The primary defects are visible surface wrinkling/creasing in the upper-left quadrant and along the top edge, consistent with handling creases rather than a hard fold, but enough to cap the grade firmly. All four corners show rounding and softening — no sharp points survive, consistent with a VG to VG-EX range. Edges show moderate wear with some roughness typical of A&BC cuts. Gloss appears partially intact in the center of the image but is clearly compromised around the borders and corners; no staining or writing is observed. The wrinkling/surface crease pushes this into the VG (3) to VG-EX (4) band, with the point estimate at 3 given the multiple corner and surface issues combined.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approximately 55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) — centering is quite reasonable for this A&BC issue. Corners: upper-left and upper-right corners appear reasonably sharp with only minimal blunting visible; lower corners are harder to assess at this resolution but show no obvious severe rounding. Edges appear intact with no visible nicks or tears; the rough cut texture typical of A&BC issues is present and not penalized. Surface presents well with good color saturation and apparent gloss retention; no visible creases, staining, or print defects from this single frontal photo. Cannot assess the reverse for paper quality, toning, or edge wear, which widens the range; if corners and back are clean, a 7 is achievable, but light hidden corner wear or surface loss could pull this toward a 5.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for EX range and not a major deduction. The seller notes 'corner wear' which is confirmed by the photo: corners show visible rounding/softening, consistent with EX to VG-EX range rather than higher grades. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible in this image, though the photo resolution limits confident crease detection. Edges appear intact without major chipping; a PSA 5 EX is the point estimate, with the range reflecting uncertainty about hidden back-of-card condition, crease detection limits, and the degree of corner wear that may cap the grade at VG-EX (4) if wear is more pronounced on inspection.
