1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #41 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 left-to-right), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at approximately 55/45 — horizontal centering is the primary concern. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible from this angle, consistent with moderate wear. Surface shows some toning/aging typical of the A&BC stock, and there appears to be mild gloss loss across the face, though no obvious hard creases are detectable from this photo. Edges appear reasonably intact without major chipping; the rough-cut character normal for A&BC printings does not penalize the grade here, placing this card most likely in the VG-EX (4) range with EX (5) possible if corners are better than they appear and the centering reads more favorably on measurement.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly tighter than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B) — off-center but not miscut. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (bottom-left and bottom-right are the most visible), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and toning/aging consistent with a 55+ year old British card; some print grain is visible but expected for A&BC stock. No obvious creases are visible from this photo, though the image resolution is not sufficient to rule out light surface creases or staining definitively — back cannot be assessed. The rounded corners and centering drag this below EX-MT territory; absent hidden creases, a grade of 4 (VG-EX) is the most likely outcome.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approx 70/30 left-right), top and bottom borders look relatively even at roughly 55/45 top-bottom — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding/wear on at least two corners (top-left and bottom-left most visible), consistent with VG-EX range. Surface shows some toning and minor gloss loss typical of aged A&BC stock; no obvious creases are visible but the image resolution is insufficient to rule out light surface creases. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major tears or paper loss; the seller's '4fl' notation likely indicates four flaws of some kind, which widens the range downward — if those flaws include a crease, grade could fall to 3.

Centering: left border appears noticeably wider than right (estimated ~65/35 L/R), top and bottom borders appear roughly 55/45 — off-center left-to-right is the primary centering concern. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible from this angle (lower-left and upper-left appear softened), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some toning/aging consistent with a 1966 A&BC card; gloss appears partially intact but dulled. No obvious creases are visible from this single front image, though the back is unseen and could reveal additional wear. The rough cut edges are normal for A&BC issues and are not penalized. Grading range set at 3–5 reflecting corner rounding and centering issue, with 4 (VG-EX) as the most likely single grade.

Centering estimate: left border approximately 4-5mm, right border approximately 2-3mm, top border approximately 3-4mm, bottom border approximately 4-5mm - left/right ratio roughly 65/35 and top/bottom roughly 45/55, placing centering in the EX-VG-EX range. Corners show visible rounding, most notably at upper-left and lower-right, consistent with a VG-EX (4) card at best. The surface shows some general toning and age-related wear typical of this 1966 A&BC issue, with modest gloss loss visible across the card face. No creases are clearly visible from this single front photo, but the back cannot be assessed; the overall wear pattern and corner condition point most strongly to a PSA 4 VG-EX, with EX (5) possible if corners are slightly better than they appear and no back flaws are present.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top border appears slightly tighter than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely miscut. Corners show visible rounding and wear on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-left appear softened), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and the card stock appears to have age-appropriate toning; no obvious hard creases are visible from this photo but the image resolution limits certainty. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major tears or chips, though the rough cut typical of A&BC British issues is present and not penalized. The lower-left area around the Batman logo caption box shows some wear. Cannot confirm back condition, and corner wear may be worse than visible — range widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65-70% left, 30-35% right); top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 top/bottom) — moderate off-center left-to-right. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (bottom-left and top-left appear softer), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean without obvious nicks but the rough cut typical of A&BC issues is present and not penalized. Surface shows some gloss loss and possible light toning consistent with age on this British issue; no obvious creases are visible from this scan but resolution limits certainty. The off-centering and corner wear push this toward a PSA 4 VG-EX point estimate, with EX (5) possible if corners are sharper than they appear and no back defects exist.

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly 10-12% wider than right border (approx 65/35 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not severely so. Corners: all four show visible rounding and softening, most evident on the lower-left and upper-right corners, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface: some gloss loss is apparent across the face, with slight toning/aging typical of the A&BC stock; no creases are clearly visible in this scan but the stock shows wear consistent with handling. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major chips or tears visible, though the rough-cut texture normal for A&BC issues is present; back is not visible so staining or creasing there cannot be ruled out, widening the range downward.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 70/30 left-to-right), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40), indicating moderate off-centering but not miscut territory. Corners show visible rounding at all four points, most pronounced at the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with handling wear. Surface shows some overall toning/aging typical of this British A&BC issue, with slight gloss loss across the face; no obvious creases are visible in this photo but the scan resolution limits crease detection with certainty. Edges appear reasonably intact without major chipping or tears, though the card shows honest 55+ year wear; a VG-EX (4) feels like the most likely landing spot, with EX (5) possible if corners are better than they appear and no hidden creases exist on the back.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — acceptable for the grade range. Corners: upper-left and lower-right corners show light rounding visible at this resolution; upper-right appears marginally sharper; no severe blunting evident. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chipping or tears consistent with A&BC rough-cut stock. Surface shows moderate gloss retention with some light toning on the cream/off-white border areas typical of this 1966 British issue; no visible creases confirmed but the photo does not allow definitive ruling out of light surface wear. Overall condition presents as EX to EX-MT range pending back inspection.
