1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #21 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65-70% left bias), top border slightly wider than bottom, roughly 65/35 L/R and 60/40 T/B — centering is noticeably off but not catastrophically miscut. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most evident on the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with a VG to VG-EX card. Surface shows significant toning and age-related soiling across the card face, particularly in the lighter areas, with what appears to be general gloss loss and possible light creasing — the card has a distinctly tired, handled appearance. Edges appear somewhat rough but consistent with normal A&BC cutting of the era; the overall wear pattern (rounded corners, surface toning, gloss loss) places this solidly in the VG to VG-EX range, with VG (3) being the most likely single grade given the corner rounding and surface condition visible even through the sleeve.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right border, roughly 70/30 L/R; top border appears slightly wider than bottom, approximately 60/40 T/B — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on at least the bottom-left and top-left corners visible in the image, consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some toning/age consistent with the era and A&BC printings; gloss loss is apparent but moderate. No obvious creases are detectable from this photo, though the resolution and angle make it impossible to rule out light surface creasing — the range is widened accordingly to account for back condition and any hidden surface wear.

Centering estimate: 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 off but not severely so, no miscut detected. Corners show mild-to-moderate rounding on at least the visible lower-left and lower-right corners, consistent with a grade 5 EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and light toning typical of the A&BC printing on aged stock; no creases are clearly visible in this scan but the card stock appears slightly soft. Edges look reasonably clean with no major chips or tears, though the A&BC cut quality makes edge assessment difficult — the holder/sleeve obscures fine corner detail on the top edge, widening the range slightly.
