1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #32 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border visibly narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — off but not severely so. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most notably the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with a VG-EX range. Edges appear slightly rough but this is consistent with A&BC cut quality and should not be over-penalized. Surface shows some gloss loss and minor toning/aging typical of British 1966 issues; no creases are clearly visible in this photo though the scan resolution limits crease detection with certainty. The card presents overall in the VG-EX (4) range, with EX (5) possible if corners are sharper than they appear and no hidden creases exist on reverse.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 70/30 left-right), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 top-bottom), so centering is off but not catastrophic. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most notably the bottom-left and top-right, consistent with a VG-range card. Surface shows significant toning/aging across the orange background with what appears to be light surface wear and gloss loss; the card stock looks stressed with possible light creasing in the lower-center area near the bat logo, though the sleeve glare makes definitive crease assessment difficult. Edges show typical rough-cut texture normal for A&BC issue but also some wear. The combination of rounded corners, apparent surface wear/toning, gloss loss, and possible light crease places this squarely in the VG (3) range, with VG-EX (4) possible if the surface crease impression is only a shadow artifact, and GOOD (2) possible if the crease is confirmed.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a 5-6 range. Corners show some rounding/soft wear, particularly visible at the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with EX to EX-MT range; no razor-sharp corners evident. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks or tears visible, consistent with the rough-cut characteristic of A&BC issues. Surface shows what appears to be decent gloss retention with no visible creases confirmed, though the COMC watermark obscures a portion of the surface making definitive crease/print defect assessment difficult — a back scan and direct corner inspection would be needed to confirm upper end of range.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-right skew favoring right), top and bottom borders look roughly 55/45 — centering is noticeably off horizontally, likely capping this at EX-MT or below. Corners show mild-to-moderate rounding, particularly visible at the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some toning/aging consistent with a 57-year-old British issue; no obvious creases are visible in this photo but the image does not show the back or tight corner closeups. Edges look reasonably clean with no major chips or tears visible; rough cut texture is normal for A&BC issues and not penalized here.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approx 70/30 left-right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approx 60/40 top-bottom), so centering is noticeably off horizontally. Corners appear to show light rounding on at least the visible lower-left corner, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface shows no obvious creases or staining visible at this resolution, and gloss appears reasonably intact with some age-appropriate toning. The card is housed in what appears to be a protective holder/case which limits corner and edge inspection; the back is not visible, preventing full assessment of reverse condition or paper quality.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60-65% right-heavy), top border slightly wider than bottom - rough L/R ratio approximately 65/35 or worse, T/B closer to 55/45; centering is a meaningful concern but no miscut is evident. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and lower-right most apparent), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and some toning/wear typical of A&BC stock; no obvious creases are confirmed from this photo but surface texture suggests handling wear. The white border areas show some soiling or toning consistent with age, and the image resolution limits confident corner and edge assessment - range widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly fuller than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonably tight and does not appear to exceed 70/30 on any axis, no miscut evident. Corners appear lightly worn with minor rounding visible at two or three corners, particularly bottom-left and bottom-right, suggesting EX-MT to NM territory. Surface gloss appears largely intact with no visible creases, though the photo resolution and watermark make a definitive surface read difficult. Edges look clean without heavy fraying typical of heavily handled A&BC cards; print quality is sharp and color is vibrant, consistent with a mid-grade example in the EX to EX-MT range.
