1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #44

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L-R imbalance), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T-B) — off-center but not severely so for this set. Corners appear lightly rounded under toploader distortion, suggesting minor wear consistent with EX territory; no sharp razor corners visible. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases, staining, or print breaks visible from this angle, though the image resolution limits confident corner and edge assessment. Back is unseen, and sleeve glare obscures left and bottom edges slightly, widening the range; a crease or heavier corner wear hidden by the holder cannot be ruled out.

Centering estimate: left border appears approximately 10-12% wider than right, top border slightly wider than bottom — rough L/R ratio ~60/40, T/B ~55/45, acceptable for this issue. Corners: upper-left and lower-left corners show the most wear and appear lightly rounded; upper-right and lower-right look slightly better but still show mild blunting — consistent with EX/VG-EX territory. Surface appears reasonably clean with no obvious creases visible in this scan, gloss appears moderate with some expected toning for a 1966 British issue. Edges show the typical rough-cut texture normal for A&BC cards, which should not be over-penalized. The back is unavailable for inspection, and sleeve glare slightly limits corner assessment confidence; a crease on the back or heavier surface wear than visible here could push the grade toward a 4.

Centering estimate: left border ~3mm, right border ~5mm giving roughly 60/40 L/R; top border ~4mm, bottom border ~3mm giving roughly 55/45 T/B — acceptable but not tight. All four corners show visible rounding/wear under inspection, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range; no corners appear sharp. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and some toning/aging consistent with a 1966 British issue; no obvious hard creases are visible but the image resolution limits crease detection on the lower portion. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major nicks visible, though the rough-cut character normal for A&BC stock is present. Photo compression and the COM watermark obscure fine surface detail, so a crease cannot be ruled out, warranting the floor at 3.
