1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #40 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B), so horizontal centering is a meaningful concern. All four corners show visible rounding — not sharp at any corner — consistent with a VG to VG-EX range. The surface shows significant wear with toning/soiling across the card face, and there is what appears to be creasing or surface wrinkling visible in the lower-left quadrant of the card face; gloss appears largely lost. The sleeve and scan quality limit a precise call on crease depth and back condition. Given rounded corners, apparent creasing, gloss loss, and off-centering, this card grades most likely PSA 3, with a realistic range of 2–4 depending on back condition and whether the surface disturbance resolves as a hard crease or softer wear under better light.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approx 60/40 L/R skew), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so, likely in the 75/25 range at worst. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (bottom-left and bottom-right appear softened), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some toning/aging consistent with a 57-year-old British issue and there appears to be minor gloss loss, but no obvious hard creases are visible in the scan. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major nicks visible; the rough-cut texture typical of A&BC issues is present and not penalized. The photo resolution limits confident corner and surface assessment, warranting a widened range.
