1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #23

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-right), top and bottom borders look close to 60/40 — centering is off but not severely so. The white borders show moderate toning consistent with age, with no adjacent card printing visible so no miscut. Corners: all four corners show some rounding and softening visible at this resolution — upper-left and lower-right appear the most worn, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears partially retained with some loss across the face; no creases are clearly visible in this image though the photo angle could obscure light surface creases. A&BC cards are typically more roughly cut than Topps US issues so edge texture is not penalized; overall the card presents in the EX (5) range with the possibility of dipping to VG-EX (4) if back or corner close-ups reveal additional wear.

Centering estimate: left border approximately 6mm, right border approximately 3mm, top border approximately 4mm, bottom border approximately 5mm — giving roughly 65/35 left-to-right and 55/45 top-to-bottom; left-to-right lean is noticeable but not catastrophic. Corners show visible rounding at all four points, most pronounced at the upper-right and lower-left, consistent with a 4 VG-EX to 3 VG range. Surface shows some gloss loss and light toning typical of this A&BC 1966 issue, with no creases visible from this angle though the scan resolution and angle cannot rule out light surface creasing. Edges appear reasonably clean for the era with no obvious fraying or chips visible; back is unseen so hidden defects remain possible — range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 left-right skew favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approximately 55/45), so centering is passable but not tight. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most notably the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with handling wear typical of a VG-EX to EX range card. Surface shows some toning and light gloss loss consistent with age on this British issue; no creases are visible from this angle but the sleeve glare obscures portions of the upper surface. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious notching, though the rough-cut characteristic of A&BC production makes edge assessment difficult — this is normal for the issue and not penalized.

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not severely miscut. Corners show visible rounding on at least the lower-left and upper-left corners as seen from this angle; the other corners are partially obscured but appear similarly softened. Surface shows some toning/aging consistent with a 57-year-old British card; gloss is partially retained but diminished. No visible creases from this photo, though the back cannot be assessed. Edge wear appears light-to-moderate. The sleeve limits a definitive read on surface and corner condition, widening the range slightly.
