1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #46 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border ~8mm, right border ~5mm, top ~5mm, bottom ~6mm — approximately 60/40 L/R and 55/45 T/B, which would be acceptable, but overall condition dominates grade here. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding and wear, consistent with heavy handling. Surface: significant writing/ink lines (appears to be pen or marker scrawl) crossing the front artwork diagonally — this alone is a major surface defect that drops the grade substantially, likely to PSA 1-2 territory as writing on the front face is treated as a qualifiable or grade-killing defect. Gloss appears heavily reduced with overall toning consistent with storage wear. The combination of rounded corners, apparent pen markings on the front face, and general surface wear places this firmly in the GOOD to VG range at best, with the writing potentially pushing it to PR-FR; the pen marks are the critical issue and may result in a PSA qualifier (MK) or grade cap at 1-2.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B), so horizontal centering is a meaningful concern. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in the photo (upper-left and lower-left appear softened), consistent with a VG-range card. The surface shows toning/age wear and some gloss loss typical of this British A&BC issue. The CGC watermark obscures a significant portion of the card face making it impossible to fully assess surface creases, print defects, or staining — a crease cannot be ruled out given the apparent wear level. Given the corner rounding, centering issues, and age-related surface wear, a PSA 3 (VG) point estimate is most likely, with the range spanning 2-4 depending on hidden surface condition.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approx 60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so, roughly 65/35 worst axis. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding and wear, particularly the bottom-left and top-right, consistent with a VG to VG-EX range. Surface: the COMC watermark obscures fine surface detail, but visible areas show moderate gloss loss and some light soiling or toning consistent with age on this British issue; no obvious creases are detectable from this photo though a light surface crease cannot be ruled out. Edges: appear reasonably clean for an A&BC cut, no obvious rough miscut or adjacent card bleed visible. Without a clean corner closeup and back inspection, the range is wide; a light hidden crease or more severe corner rounding could push this toward a 3.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (approximately 85/15 left-right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (roughly 70/30 top-bottom) — centering is off but not miscut territory. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most pronounced at bottom-left and top-left, consistent with a VG-range card. Surface shows significant wear including what appears to be a diagonal crease or surface wrinkle running across the lower-left quadrant (bottom of the Riddler figure), plus general gloss loss across the face. Edges appear rough but normal for A&BC cut stock; the combination of rounded corners, visible crease/surface disturbance, and gloss loss lands this squarely in the VG (3) range, with VG-EX (4) possible only if the lower-left disturbance is a print artifact rather than a true crease — the single-angle photo limits certainty.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R skew favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not severely so, no adjacent card printing visible so no miscut. Corners: at this resolution the corners appear to have light-to-moderate rounding on at least two corners (visible at top-left and bottom-left), consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface: gloss appears present but slightly diminished; no obvious creases visible in the image though the angle and lighting may obscure minor surface issues. Edges appear clean with no major chipping; A&BC rough-cut edges are normal for this issue and not penalized. Range widened to account for inability to see card back, corner closeups, and possible hidden surface wear under the lighting.

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 narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T-B), so centering is within EX-MT range on both axes. Corners show some rounding visible at all four corners, most notably at lower-left and upper-left, consistent with EX to VG-EX wear. Edges appear reasonably clean with no gross chipping or tears evident. Surface gloss appears moderate with some loss visible, and the red background shows no obvious creases in the image, though the ComC watermark obscures the center making crease detection difficult. The card presents as a solid EX example but corner rounding and gloss loss prevent a higher estimate; without a clean unobstructed photo and back inspection, range is kept wide.
