1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #4 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders appear closer to 55/45 — centering is off but not catastrophically miscut. Corners appear rounded and show wear consistent with handling, particularly at the lower-left and upper-right; no corner appears sharp. The white/cream borders show toning and soiling typical of this A&BC issue. Surface appears to have gloss loss and possible light creasing in the lower-left quadrant, though the photo compression and watermark make it difficult to confirm crease depth with certainty. Given rounded corners, likely gloss loss, and apparent surface wear, a VG (3) feels most probable, with VG-EX (4) possible if the suspected crease is only a surface scratch, and GOOD (2) if the crease is confirmed on inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approx 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 60/40 T-B) — off-center but not severely miscut, no adjacent card printing visible. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-right appear most worn), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears partially present but dulled, with some toning/aging typical of the A&BC British issue on this stock. The CGC watermark obscures the lower-center of the card face, making it impossible to assess surface creases or staining in that region with confidence — this is the primary source of uncertainty. No obvious heavy creases or paper breaks visible in the unobstructed areas, but the watermark prevents ruling them out, so the range is widened downward to 3.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not severely so, consistent with EX-range. Corners: from this distance the corners appear to have mild-to-moderate rounding, consistent with VG-EX to EX territory; no razor sharpness visible but no severe blunting either. Surface and gloss: the artwork area looks reasonably clean with acceptable gloss for a 1966 A&BC card; no obvious creases are visible, though the sleeve glare and watermark obstruct a full surface read. Edges appear intact without major nicks, and the rough cut texture normal for A&BC issues is noted and not penalized; back cannot be assessed.
