1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #43 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. All four corners show visible rounding and wear, consistent with heavy handling; bottom corners appear more distressed than top. The card exhibits significant toning/aging across the white border areas and there is visible surface wear and gloss loss across the face of the card. A probable light crease or stress line is suggested by the surface texture in the lower portion of the image, though the photo resolution limits definitive crease confirmation. Overall condition presentation is consistent with a PSA 3 VG, with the range spanning 2-4 depending on crease severity and back condition which cannot be assessed from this photo.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly tighter than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonable and not a significant grade detractor. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding visible at all four corners, most notably at the bottom-left and top-right, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears partially retained with some light wear; no creases are visible in this image but cannot be confirmed from a single front photo. Edges appear reasonably clean with no severe chipping; A&BC cards often show rougher cuts as a manufacturing norm and no dramatic miscut is evident here.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (approx 60/40 L/R), top border appears slightly tighter than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — within acceptable range, no severe off-center or miscut visible. Corners appear reasonably sharp from this distance with possible very light wear on one or two corners, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects visible. Card back is not shown, and corner closeups are unavailable, so the range is widened; hidden back condition or corner rounding could push the grade toward the lower end of the range.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border visibly thinner than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — within acceptable range, no miscut evident. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on all four, most visible at the upper corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears partially retained with some dulling visible, and minor toning/aging is present on the cream borders which is typical for this British issue. No creases are visible from the front in this photo, but the back is unseen and A&BC cards of this vintage often show reverse wear; the range is widened accordingly to account for hidden surface or reverse issues.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L-R favoring right), top border slightly tighter than bottom (approximately 60/40 T-B) — centering is off but not miscut territory. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible from this angle, consistent with a VG-range card. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and there appears to be light toning/soiling across the card face; a faint crease or surface wrinkle is suggested near the upper left area though photo resolution limits certainty. Edges appear reasonably intact for a vintage A&BC issue, with expected rough-cut texture normal for this print run. Back condition is unknown and could shift the grade; the range of 2–4 reflects genuine uncertainty about crease severity and any reverse-side issues.
