1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #46 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders appear more even at approximately 55/45 T/B — centering is off but not catastrophic. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding, most pronounced at top-left and bottom-left, consistent with handling wear placing this in the VG-EX to EX range at best. Surface: the watermark obscures a significant portion of the card face, making a definitive surface assessment impossible, but no obvious creases are visible in the artwork areas; some light gloss loss appears present. Edges appear reasonably clean with no tears evident, though the rough cut typical of A&BC issues is noted and not penalized; the COM watermark prevents confident surface grading, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border notably wider than right (approx 70/30 L-R), top border wider than bottom (approx 60/40 T-B) — off-center but not miscut territory. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most pronounced at lower-left, consistent with a VG card. Surface exhibits significant scratching or scuffing lines across the face — most prominently a curved dark mark across the upper-left quadrant that appears to be a crease or heavy surface scratch, which is the dominant grade-limiter here; if confirmed as a crease this firmly anchors the card at PSA 3 or below. Gloss appears substantially diminished across the card face. The back cannot be assessed, and the sleeve obscures edge condition slightly, so the range is widened to account for possible additional back-surface or edge wear.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (~70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders appear roughly 55/45 — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding at all four tips, consistent with a VG to VG-EX range. Surface shows what appears to be generalized gloss loss and toning across the card face; there is also apparent soiling or staining on the lower-left quadrant and along edges. The COM watermark obscures a significant portion of the card surface, preventing confident assessment of creases, print defects, or finer surface wear — this limits the upper bound considerably. Edge wear appears moderate with fraying visible. Without a clean, unobstructed photo, confidence is low and the range is kept wide at 2–4.

Centering estimate: left border roughly 3mm, right border roughly 6mm, top border roughly 4mm, bottom border roughly 5mm — approximately 67/33 left-right and 55/45 top-bottom, so horizontal centering is a meaningful issue. Corners appear noticeably rounded on at least two visible corners (bottom-left most evident), consistent with VG-range wear. The surface shows what appears to be a soft crease or paper stress line running diagonally across the lower-left quadrant of the card, visible even at this resolution; if a crease is confirmed, this firmly anchors the grade at 3 or below. Gloss loss is apparent across much of the surface and the white border shows toning typical of aged A&BC stock. Edge wear appears moderate. The combination of rounded corners, likely surface crease, centering issues, and gloss loss points to a PSA 3 (VG) as the most probable grade, with a realistic range of 2–4 depending on crease severity and what the back reveals.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not severely so, consistent with EX to EX-MT range. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on at least the visible lower-left corner; the upper corners appear slightly better but show wear consistent with handling. Surface appears to retain reasonable gloss with no obvious creases visible in this image, though the photo angle and possible slab/case glare make definitive surface assessment difficult. Edges look reasonably clean with no major tears or chips evident; vintage A&BC rough-cut texture is normal for this issue and not penalized. The card is being held in what appears to be a card holder or case which obscures edge and corner detail — widening the range accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears moderately narrower than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable, not a significant grade penalty. Corners are difficult to assess precisely due to the Comc watermark but the two visible bottom corners show some rounding/softening consistent with light wear; top corners appear slightly better but not sharp. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious tears or major chips visible. Surface shows no obvious creases from this scan, gloss appears moderate — the Comc watermark obscures the center surface detail significantly, preventing confident assessment of print wear or surface scratches. Overall the card presents in the EX range, with the range widened to account for hidden corner and surface detail; a crease or heavier corner wear not visible in this scan could push it lower.
