1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #32 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (~60% of right border width), top border slightly narrower than bottom — roughly 65/35 left-right, 60/40 top-bottom, acceptable for the era but tilting toward off-center. Corners: all four corners show rounding visible at normal viewing distance — upper-left and lower-right appear most worn, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Edges: the card edges show some roughness typical of A&BC cuts, with minor fraying visible particularly along the bottom edge. Surface: gloss appears reduced but not absent; no creases are clearly visible in this photo, though the image resolution does not permit definitive ruling out of light surface crease — the absence of obvious crease lines is mildly encouraging. No staining or writing observed. The unverifiable back and corner detail from a single seller photo warrants a widened range; a light hidden crease would push this toward a 3.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L-R), top border marginally wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T-B) — centering is reasonable and not a major grade detractor. Corners appear intact with only very light wear visible; no obvious rounding at this resolution, though the lower corners are partially obscured by the title shield device making precise assessment difficult. Edges look cleanly cut with no miscut indicators and no adjacent card bleed. Surface appears to carry reasonable gloss with no obvious creases, staining, or print breaks visible, though the central watermark obscures a portion of the image field. Given the apparent condition the card grades in the EX to NM range; the uncertainty band reflects inability to inspect corners closely or assess the back.

Centering (left/right): left border appears noticeably wider than right, estimating roughly 70/30 L-R; top/bottom looks close to 55/45 — overall centering is off but not catastrophically so. All four corners show visible rounding and wear, consistent with VG range; no corner is sharp. The card surface shows generalized gloss loss across much of the face, and the edges show toning and minor roughness typical of the A&BC cut quality. No crease is definitively confirmed from this angle, but the Comc watermark and sleeve glare partially obscure the centre, making it impossible to rule out light surface creasing — this is the primary uncertainty driving the range down to 2. A clean mid-grade of PSA 3 (VG) best fits the visible rounded corners, gloss loss, and uncertain surface condition.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (roughly 55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners show moderate rounding on all four, most visibly on the upper-left and lower-left, consistent with honest handling wear typical of a raw 57-year-old A&BC card. Edges appear intact with no tears or paper loss; the cut looks slightly rough but that is normal for A&BC production. Surface shows mild gloss loss and what appears to be light toning/soiling, no obvious hard creases visible in this photo, though the image resolution does not allow definitive ruling-out of a faint surface crease. The card sits comfortably in the VG-EX (4) range with the possibility of EX (5) if corners and surface are cleaner than they appear at this resolution.

Centering estimate: left border ~10%, right border ~15%, top border ~10%, bottom border ~15% — approximately 60/40 L/R and 60/40 T/B, which is acceptable for this grade range. All four corners appear reasonably sharp from this single image with no obvious severe rounding, though the lower-left and lower-right corners warrant closer inspection as they appear slightly soft. Edges look clean with no visible chips or tears. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases, scratches, or heavy print defects visible, though A&BC cards commonly show print snow which may be present but is hard to confirm at this resolution. Back cannot be assessed, and corner sharpness cannot be fully confirmed without macro shots; range is widened accordingly.
