1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #44 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border ~20%, right border ~15%, top border ~12%, top-heavy with slightly right-heavy feel — roughly 55/45 L/R and 60/40 T/B, acceptable but not tight. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible from this angle (lower-left and lower-right appear softened), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some toning/age consistent with a 1966 British issue; gloss appears partially retained but dulled. No obvious creases are visible from this single front photo, though the slightly wavy/uneven card stock could hint at a light bend that would only be confirmed in hand. The back is not visible, and corner detail is limited by image resolution, so the range is widened accordingly — a hidden crease or heavier corner wear could push this down to a 3.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely miscut. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in this angle, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface appears to have some gloss loss and possibly light handling wear; the image is slightly soft making it difficult to confirm presence or absence of creases definitively. Edges appear reasonably intact with no obvious tears or major paper loss, but the overall wear pattern and corner rounding point to a grade in the 4–5 range, with a crease possible on the back that could push it toward a 3.

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), so centering is off but not catastrophically miscut. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in the scan, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some toning and light gloss loss typical of this A&BC British issue, with minor print texture; no obvious heavy creases are visible but the image resolution limits crease detection on the lower portion of the card. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major nicks visible, but the soft holder and angle make a definitive corner and edge assessment difficult, warranting a widened range.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower (~40%) vs right border (~60%) left/right; top border appears slightly wider than bottom, roughly 55/45 top/bottom — centering is off but within EX-range territory, no miscut observed. Corners show light rounding on at least the visible lower-right corner; upper corners are partially obscured by angle/glare but appear similarly lightly worn. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible, though the slightly angled photo limits crease detection on the lower portion. Card edges appear clean with no major chipping; print quality looks typical for A&BC 1966 vintage with no severe print defects noted. Overall the card presents in the EX (5) range pending back inspection and closer corner examination.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border narrower than bottom (approx 60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners show light rounding on at least the visible lower-right and upper-left corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible at this resolution. Surface shows no obvious creases in the image, color appears vibrant with decent gloss retention, though slight toning on the cream border areas is consistent with age on A&BC stock. Back is not visible, and corner detail is limited by image scale; the range is widened accordingly.
