1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #26 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border ~15%, right border ~10%, top border ~12%, bottom border ~8% — card reads roughly 60/40 left-right and 60/40 top-bottom, acceptable but slightly off. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (bottom-left and bottom-right appear noticeably soft), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and the image appears slightly worn with possible light soiling or toning particularly in the border areas; no obvious hard crease is visible from this photo but surface wear is evident. Edges appear reasonably clean for an A&BC issue though the cut is slightly rough, which is normal for this British issue and should not be over-penalized; full back assessment unavailable.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for EX range. Corners: the visible corners show mild rounding, particularly at the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with EX to VG-EX wear; no razor sharpness present. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible at this resolution, though the rough cut typical of A&BC issues is noted and not penalized. Surface shows some gloss loss and minor handling wear but no creases are visible in this photo; the back is not shown so hidden defects (staining, writing, creases) cannot be ruled out, widening the range. Collector note: A&BC cards are notoriously roughly cut and on softer stock than Topps — this appears to present in the mid-grade EX range pending inspection of corners and reverse.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 L-R), top and bottom borders appear roughly 60/40 T-B — off-center but not severely so for this A&BC issue where rough cuts are normal. Corners appear lightly rounded on at least two visible corners (bottom-left and bottom-right show minor rounding), consistent with EX range; no sharp points visible but no severe rounding either. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible in this image, though the COMC watermark partially obscures the lower-centre making a definitive crease check impossible there. Edges appear reasonably clean for a vintage A&BC card; no staining or major print defects are apparent, but the photo angle and watermark obstruction prevent a confident upper-bound call above 6.
