1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #34 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 70/30 left-right favoring right), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at approximately 55/45 — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in this view (lower-left appears blunted, upper-left softened), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks or tears visible, though the rough cut typical of A&BC issues is present and not penalized. Surface shows some gloss loss and light toning/aging on the white border areas consistent with a 55-year-old British card; no obvious creases are visible but the COM-C watermark and partial sleeve glare obscure the lower surface, making crease detection unreliable. Overall condition reads mid-grade VG-EX (4) as the most likely point grade, with EX (5) possible if corners are sharper than they appear and no hidden creases exist.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders appear moderately uneven at approximately 65/35 T/B — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on all four, consistent with a VG-range card; no corner is sharp. Surface shows significant toning/yellowing across the card stock, consistent with age and typical for this British issue, but there is also evident soiling or wear to the card face, particularly in the lower portion. Edges appear rough-cut which is normal for A&BC production. The COM.CT watermark obscures the center surface, preventing full assessment of creases or deeper surface flaws; the visible lower-left area suggests possible handling creases, which combined with the rounded corners and toning points toward a VG (3) grade with some risk of dropping to GOOD (2) if hidden creases are present beneath the watermark.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 70/30 left-right skew), top and bottom borders look approximately 60/40 — centering is off but not catastrophically miscut. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most notably the top-left and bottom-left, consistent with significant handling wear. Surface shows toning and what appears to be soiling or light staining toward the lower portion; gloss is largely lost. No hard crease is definitively visible from this photo, but the overall surface texture and corner wear place this firmly in the VG to VG-EX range; the COM.C watermark and sleeve reflection prevent confident assessment of surface creases or finer edge detail, so the range is widened accordingly.
