1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #42

Centering estimate: left border approximately 4mm, right border approximately 6-7mm (L/R roughly 65/35 favoring right); top border approximately 5mm, bottom border approximately 7mm (T/B roughly 60/40) — centering itself is not catastrophic but leans noticeably. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding and wear, consistent with a VG or VG-EX range card; no sharp corners are present. Surface: there is noticeable gloss loss across the face, some toning/aging evident on the white border areas which is typical for A&BC issues of this vintage, and possible light surface creasing though difficult to confirm definitively from this single photo. Edges appear somewhat rough but this is normal for A&BC cut quality; the overall wear pattern — rounded corners, gloss loss, and border toning — points to a PSA 3 VG as the most likely grade, with the range reflecting uncertainty about any hidden creases or back condition.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonable but not tight. Corners: all four corners show some rounding/softening visible even at this resolution, ruling out NM-MT or above; corners appear lightly worn consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges appear intact with no obvious nicks or tears; the rough-cut texture typical of A&BC issue is present and not penalized. Surface shows some gloss retention with the printed colors looking vivid, no obvious creases are visible in this front image, but the back cannot be assessed and hidden surface wear may exist. The card appears to sit in the EX range (5) with a possible slide to VG-EX (4) if corner rounding is more pronounced than visible here, or EX-MT (6) if corners hold up under closer inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-right appear softened), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible at this resolution. Surface shows some gloss loss and the card exhibits the typical A&BC slightly rough cut on the edges, which is set-normal and not penalized. No obvious creases are visible in this photo, though the sleeve glare and watermark obscure portions of the surface, preventing confirmation of crease-free status. The overall presentation lands most naturally at a 4 VG-EX, with the range reflecting uncertainty about hidden surface issues.
