1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #22 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears significantly narrower than right (~80/20 left-right), top and bottom borders are moderately uneven (~65/35 top-bottom), indicating poor centering overall. Corners show visible rounding on all accessible corners, consistent with a VG-range card. Surface shows toning and general wear with some gloss loss visible; no obvious hard crease is confirmed from this photo though light surface creasing cannot be ruled out given the overall wear level. The sleeve introduces some glare that obscures fine corner and edge detail, widening the range — the card could grade as low as 2 if a crease is present on the back or as high as 4 if surface wear is lighter than it appears.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approximately 70/30 left-to-right), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 top-to-bottom), indicating off-center but not severely miscut. Corners: the visible lower-left and lower-right corners show mild rounding consistent with EX range; upper corners are partially obscured by the artwork bleed but appear similarly worn. Surface: some toning/aging visible on the cream borders, which is typical for A&BC 1966 stock; gloss appears partially present but dulled. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious tears or major chips visible. No creases are clearly visible from this photo, though the back is unseen and the left-right centering pushes toward the lower end of the EX range.

Centering estimate: left border is notably narrow (~15%) vs right border (~85% of horizontal margin), indicating significant left-right miscentering approximately 85/15 or worse; top/bottom centering appears more balanced at roughly 55/45. The heavy left-right off-centering alone would cap the grade at EX (5) or below under PSA standards. Corners: at the available resolution the corners appear to show mild-to-moderate rounding — consistent with VG-EX to EX range; no sharp razor corners visible. Surface and gloss appear reasonably intact with no obvious creases, staining, or paper loss visible from this angle, which is positive. The rough-cut edge texture is normal for A&BC issues and not penalized; the dominant grade limiter here is the significant left-right centering deficiency, placing the estimate in the VG-EX to EX range (4–6) with EX (5) as the most likely single grade.
