1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #26

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B), so horizontal centering is the main concern, possibly approaching OC territory but not severe miscut. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and lower-right appear softer), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some toning/aging typical of A&BC British issues on the lighter border areas, with modest gloss retention visible in the artwork. No creases are clearly visible in the photo, but the CoMC watermark partially obscures the center surface, making definitive surface assessment difficult; edges appear slightly rough but this is normal for A&BC cuts of this era and should not be over-penalized.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60-65% right-heavy), top border appears slightly larger than bottom, suggesting roughly 65/35 L-R and 60/40 T-B — modest but not severe miscut territory. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible from this angle, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears partially retained but the COMC watermark obscures the center, making it impossible to assess print defects, surface scratches, or creases confidently. Edges appear slightly rough but that is normal for A&BC cuts of this era; no major tears or paper loss visible. The range 3–5 reflects genuine uncertainty caused by the watermark obstruction and single-angle photo — a crease hidden beneath the watermark could push this toward the lower end.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — not severe but off. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding/wear, particularly the bottom corners which appear more blunted; this places the card in the VG-EX to EX range at best. Surface: some gloss loss is visible and there is mild toning consistent with age on this British issue; no obvious creases are detectable from this photo but the scan resolution limits crease detection with certainty. Edges appear reasonably clean for an A&BC card with no dramatic fraying, but the corner wear is the primary grade limiter here, suggesting a VG-EX (4) most likely with EX (5) possible if corners are sharper than they appear and no hidden creases exist on the reverse.

Centering estimate: left border ~20%, right border ~80% horizontally — card appears pushed noticeably to the right, roughly 80/20 L/R; top/bottom appears closer to 55/45. Corners show visible rounding on at least the bottom-left and bottom-right, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some overall wear and slight gloss loss but no obvious heavy creases visible from this angle; the image scan/watermark obscures the center somewhat making crease detection difficult. Edges appear somewhat rough but this is typical for A&BC British issue cuts. No staining or writing visible; the card presents solidly in the VG-EX range with the off-centering being the primary grade limiter.
