1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #31

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 60/40 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (approx 65/35 T/B) — within EX-MT range horizontally but tighter vertically. Corners appear to show light rounding on at least two corners visible at this resolution, consistent with EX condition. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible, though the A&BC printing stock can be harder to read at standard photo distances. Edges appear clean without major chipping or fraying typical of the British A&BC issue. The photo is reasonably sharp but corner closeups are absent, and the holder framing slightly clips the card edges, preventing a tighter call — range reflects that uncertainty.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approx 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders look reasonably balanced at roughly 55/45 T/B — centering is off but not miscut territory. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-left most apparent), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows general gloss loss and some age toning/soiling typical of A&BC British issues, with the card appearing somewhat dingy overall. No creases are clearly visible from this distance photo, but the image resolution and watermark obstruction prevent confident surface assessment — the range is widened accordingly to account for possible hidden creases or heavier corner wear.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 left-to-right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40), indicating off-center but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in the image (top-left and bottom-left appear softer), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light toning/aging consistent with a 57-year-old British issue; no creases are clearly visible in this photo though the image resolution limits confidence. Edges appear reasonably clean with no egregious chips or tears visible; the rough-cut characteristic of A&BC issues is noted and not penalized. Back condition unknown, and corner closeups are unavailable, widening the range accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (roughly 60/40 top-bottom), indicating off-center but not miscut. All four corners show visible rounding and wear, with the upper-left appearing the most worn. The card surface shows moderate gloss loss across the artwork area and some toning/aging consistent with a 55+ year old British issue. Edges appear slightly rough but within normal parameters for A&BC cuts of this era. No creases are clearly visible in the photo, though the image resolution does not allow definitive confirmation of the surface condition; range widened accordingly. A clean 4 VG-EX seems most likely, but corner wear could push this to a 3 VG if rounding is more pronounced than the photo suggests.
