1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #21 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border marginally wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonable and not a grade-driving concern. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on the visible corners, most notably at the upper-left and lower-left, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; no razor sharpness visible. Edges appear slightly rough but this is normal for A&BC period cuts and should not be over-penalized. Surface shows some gloss loss and possible light handling wear but no creases are visible from this angle; print quality appears typical for the set with some color variation. Back is not visible and corners cannot be fully assessed at this resolution, so the range is widened to account for undisclosed reverse-side wear or creasing.

Centering estimate: left border ~5mm, right border ~3mm, top border ~4mm, bottom border ~3mm — approximately 63/37 L/R and 57/43 T/B, which is moderate but not severe off-centering. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding, most pronounced at top-left and bottom-right, consistent with a VG-range card. Surface: significant toning and soiling across the cream border areas, with what appears to be a light crease or surface wrinkle visible in the lower-left quadrant near the title box; gloss appears largely gone. Edges: rough cut typical of A&BC period printing (not penalized), but edges show fraying and wear consistent with heavy handling. The plastic sleeve limits a full corner and edge assessment; if a crease is confirmed on reverse the grade sits at 2-3, otherwise the upper bound of 4 is possible.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most evident at bottom-left and bottom-right, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some toning/aging consistent with a 1966 British A&BC issue; no creases are clearly visible from this photo angle but the image resolution and slight glare prevent confident exclusion of a light surface crease. Edges appear reasonably intact with no obvious paper loss or tears; overall condition lands most likely at a PSA 4 (VG-EX), with EX (5) possible if corners are slightly better than they appear and no hidden creases exist on the reverse.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approx 70/30 left-right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 top-bottom) — centering is off horizontally but not severely so. Corners show light rounding on the visible corners, consistent with a 5-6 range; no sharp points evident but no severe blunting either. Surface shows some gloss loss and slight toning typical of 1966 A&BC stock; no creases are visible in this photo but the back is not shown. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chipping; the rough-cut texture normal for A&BC/British issues is noted and not penalized. The CGC watermark partially obscures the lower-center surface, limiting full surface assessment — range widened slightly to account for unseen areas including the back.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border appears marginally wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable, no miscut observed. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on all four, with the lower-left appearing the most worn; no sharp points visible, consistent with EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible at this resolution. Surface shows some light gloss loss and possible minor toning consistent with age on a British A&BC card; no creases are visible from this angle, though the card back cannot be assessed. The holder/sleeve limits a definitive corner and edge assessment, and the absence of a back view means hidden creases or staining cannot be ruled out, warranting a widened range.
