1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #46 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approximately 80/20 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B), so horizontal centering is significantly off but not miscut. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most pronounced at the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with a VG-range card. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and some toning/aging across the card face, with light soiling or handling marks visible particularly on the red areas. No obvious hard creases are detectable from this angle, but the overall wear pattern and rounded corners place this squarely in the VG (3) range, with a slim possibility of VG-EX (4) if corners are slightly better than they appear and no creases are present on the back.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top border appears tighter than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely miscut. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners observable from this distance, consistent with a VG range card. Surface shows what appears to be significant wear lines or possible light creasing running diagonally across the card face — most notably a curved line through the lower-left quadrant that strongly suggests a crease or handling fold, which would push this toward a PSA 2-3 range. Gloss appears largely absent indicating surface wear; edge cuts look rough but this is normal for A&BC British issue cards of this era and should not be over-penalized. The crease/fold visible on the surface is the primary grade-limiting factor here.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable and not a significant grade detractor. Corners: the COMC watermark obscures the lower center but all four corners are partially visible; upper-right and lower-left corners appear to show light-to-moderate rounding, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with the slightly rough cut typical of A&BC issues (not penalized). Surface shows some general toning and minor gloss loss consistent with a 55-year-old British card; no creases are clearly visible but the watermark prevents confident surface assessment. The card is raw and gradable, but the COMC watermark limits surface evaluation — range widened accordingly to reflect uncertainty.

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly 3-4mm, right border roughly 5-6mm, top border roughly 4mm, bottom border roughly 4-5mm — yielding approximately 60/40 left-right and 50/50 top-bottom, so centering itself is not the primary concern. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-left are the most legible), consistent with VG to VG-EX range. Surface shows significant soiling/staining particularly in the lower-left quadrant and what appears to be a crease or heavy handling wear running diagonally across the lower-left portion of the card; gloss appears largely lost. The COM watermark and sleeve glare obscure fine surface detail, preventing confident assessment of crease depth or additional print defects, which widens the range — the visible staining and corner rounding alone place this solidly at PSA 3 VG with a chance of 2 if the crease is deeper than it appears.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably thinner than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so. Corners show light rounding, particularly visible at lower-left and upper-left, consistent with EX range; no corners appear sharp enough for NM or above. Surface appears reasonably clean with decent gloss retention and no obvious creases visible from this angle, though the photo angle and watermark obscure the center. Edges appear intact with no major chipping. A&BC cards of this era commonly exhibit rougher cuts which should not be over-penalized; the range of 4–6 reflects uncertainty about corner condition and any back-side issues not visible here.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably thinner than right (approximately 80/20 left-to-right), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 top-to-bottom), suggesting off-center but not miscut. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible from this angle (upper-left and lower-left appear soft/rounded), consistent with a VG-range card. Surface shows what appears to be scuffing or light creasing in the upper portion of the card (upper-left area near Riddler's head), with some gloss loss evident even through the sleeve. Edges appear somewhat rough but that is normal for A&BC cuts. The sleeve glare and slight angle prevent confident assessment of the back and full corner detail, so the range is widened accordingly; this card most likely grades VG (3) but could slip to Good (2) if the surface crease is deeper than it appears, or reach VG-EX (4) if the apparent scuffing is sleeve artifact.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — reasonably well centered, no OC concern. Corners: at this scan resolution the corners appear to have light to moderate wear with slight rounding, consistent with EX to EX-MT range; no sharp razor corners visible. Edges appear intact with no notable nicks or tears visible. Surface shows what appears to be good gloss retention with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects visible — image artwork is clean and vibrant. Cannot assess the back, and corner detail is limited at this resolution, so the range is widened accordingly; a raw A&BC card in this apparent condition would likely land at PSA 6 EX-MT.
