1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #35 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approx 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 60/40 T/B), so centering is off but not catastrophic. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible (upper-left and lower-left appear soft/rounded), consistent with a VG-range card. The upper-left corner of the card stock itself shows what appears to be a crease or fold damage, and there is visible surface wear and gloss loss across the face. Edges appear rough but that is typical/normal for A&BC British issues of this era and should not be over-penalized. No writing or tears visible, but the overall surface condition with gloss loss, corner rounding, and probable creasing near the top edge lands this squarely in the VG (3) range with VG-EX (4) being optimistic if the surface crease is minor, and GOOD (2) possible if the top-left damage is more severe than the photo reveals.

Centering estimate: left border roughly 4mm, right border roughly 7mm giving approximately 65/35 L/R; top border roughly 5mm, bottom border roughly 6mm giving approximately 55/45 T/B — horizontal off-centering is the more notable issue but not severe. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding and wear, consistent with VG to VG-EX range; no corner is sharp. Surface: significant surface wear and toning is evident across the card face with visible scuffing/soiling particularly in the lower left quadrant and along edges, plus general gloss loss throughout. Edges show roughness typical of A&BC cuts but also genuine handling wear beyond normal vintage cut texture; no creases are clearly confirmed from this photo angle though surface distress is present, pushing the grade toward VG (3) with a possible floor of 2 if hidden creases exist on closer inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 left-right favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 top-bottom) — centering is acceptable for EX range. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding visible at all four corners, most noticeable at bottom-left and top-right, consistent with EX to VG-EX wear. Surface shows some light gloss loss and what appears to be minor toning/aging consistent with a 55-year-old British card; no obvious creases are visible but the photo resolution makes it impossible to rule out a light surface crease. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chips or tears; the rough-cut characteristic of A&BC issues is present on the left edge but is a production norm and not penalized.
