1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #29 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60% right-heavy), top border slightly wider than bottom, rough L/R ratio approximately 65/35 and T/B approximately 55/45 — centering is off but not severely miscut. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most pronounced at lower-left and upper-left, consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some toning and general wear typical of a 55+ year old A&BC card; gloss appears partially intact but dulled. No obvious hard creases are visible from this photo, though the image resolution prevents confident ruling them out — back is not shown. Edge wear is present but not severe. Overall condition points to a VG-EX (4) grade, with EX (5) possible if corners and surface are cleaner than they appear, and VG (3) if a hidden crease exists on the back.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T/B) — off-center but not severely so for this A&BC issue. Corners appear to show light-to-moderate rounding, particularly visible at the bottom-left and top-left corners, consistent with a grade in the EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible in this photo, though the authentication sticker partially obscures the lower-center area and prevents full surface assessment. Edges show typical A&BC rough-cut characteristics which are normal for this British issue and should not be over-penalized; the card sits solidly in the 4–6 range pending back inspection and closer corner examination.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (approximately 60/40 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) — centering is acceptable for a PSA 5-6 range. Corners show light rounding visible at all four corners, most notably the upper-left and lower-right, consistent with honest handling wear placing this in the EX to VG-EX range. Surface appears to retain reasonable gloss with no obvious creases visible in the scan, though minor toning or light soiling cannot be fully ruled out from a single-angle photo. Edges appear intact without significant nicks or fraying; the rough-cut characteristic of A&BC issues is present and not penalized per vintage norms for this set.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is passable but not tight. All four corners show visible rounding and wear, consistent with a VG range card; no corner is sharp. Edges show moderate roughness consistent with A&BC vintage cutting norms (not penalized heavily). Surface shows noticeable gloss loss across much of the card face, and there appears to be light soiling or toning in areas, though the watermark obscures fine surface detail in the center. No crease is definitively visible from this scan, but the overall wear pattern and corner rounding firmly place this in the VG (3) range, with VG-EX (4) possible if corners are slightly better than they appear and no hidden creases exist on reverse.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L-R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T-B) — centering is reasonably well balanced and not a major deduction. Corners: from this single front photo the corners appear to have light-to-moderate rounding, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; no sharp points are visible but no severe rounding either. Surface: color appears vibrant with reasonable gloss retention; no obvious creases are visible from this angle, though the scan/photo cannot rule out fine surface creases or back damage. Edges appear intact with no major nicks visible; vintage A&BC rough-cut texture is normal for this issue and not penalized. Range widened due to inability to inspect corners closely, card back, or edges under magnification.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners: upper-left and lower-right corners show visible rounding/soft wear at this resolution; upper-right appears somewhat sharper but not crisp; lower-left partially obscured by action art making assessment difficult. Surface: color saturation looks decent with reasonable gloss retention, no obvious creases visible in the image, though the scan angle could conceal light surface wear; minor toning consistent with the vintage 1966 A&BC stock. Edges appear reasonably clean with the slightly rough cut typical and expected for A&BC issues of this era — not penalized. Back not visible, and corner detail is limited at this resolution, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 left-right disadvantage), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 top-bottom) — centering is off but not severely OC. Corners show visible rounding at all four points, most evident at bottom-left and top-right, consistent with handling wear. Surface shows some gloss loss and light toning typical of A&BC stock from this era; no creases are clearly visible in this scan but the image resolution is insufficient to rule out a light surface crease. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major nicks visible, though the rough cut typical of A&BC production is present. The card has honest wear in the VG-EX range; if a hidden crease exists it could push down to VG (3).
