1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #47 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border roughly 6mm, right border roughly 4mm (approx 60/40 L/R acceptable); top border roughly 5mm, bottom roughly 4mm (55/45 T/B reasonable). Corners show visible rounding at all four points, most notably the upper-left and lower-left, consistent with a VG-EX or EX range. Edges appear somewhat rough but this is normal for A&BC cuts and should not be over-penalized. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and some toning typical of a 58-year-old British card; no obvious hard creases are visible in the image, though the sleeve glare may be obscuring light surface wear. Given the corner rounding and gloss loss a grade of 4 (VG-EX) is the most likely outcome, with 5 possible if corners are sharper than they appear under magnification and 3 possible if a hidden crease is present.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65-70% left bias), top border slightly wider than bottom, approximating L/R ~65/35 and T/B ~55/45 — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners: all four show visible rounding, most evident at bottom-left and top-left, consistent with a VG-range card. Edges show moderate wear and roughness, typical for this A&BC issue but beyond normal vintage cut variation. Surface has evident gloss loss and what appears to be light soiling or toning in the lower-left quadrant; the CoMC watermark prevents full assessment of the center surface. No creases are definitively visible from this angle, but the image quality and watermark obstruction prevent ruling one out, which keeps the floor at 2. A true raw assessment places this most likely at PSA 3 (VG), with the range of 2–4 reflecting corner/surface uncertainty hidden by the overlay.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T/B) — off-center but not severe miscut territory. Corners appear to show moderate rounding on at least two visible corners (lower-left and upper-left), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some toning/age spotting typical of this British issue, and the card stock appears slightly soft. The COMC watermark obscures the lower-center surface preventing full assessment of any creasing or staining in that zone; no obvious heavy creases visible in the exposed areas. Given corner rounding and off-centering, a raw grade of 4 (VG-EX) is most likely, with EX (5) possible if corners are sharper than the photo resolves and VG (3) possible if the hidden lower area carries a crease.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right by a moderate margin, approximately 60/40 L/R; top/bottom appears reasonably balanced at roughly 55/45 — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners show light rounding at the visible corners, particularly bottom-left and top-left, consistent with an EX range card; no sharp razor corners present. Surface shows some light print wear and toning consistent with a 1966 A&BC issue; no creases are clearly visible from this photo, though the sleeve glare slightly obscures the lower-left quadrant. Gloss appears partially retained but dulled, and the card stock shows the typical lighter/rougher A&BC printing quality — these British issues grade slightly differently in texture than Topps equivalents, and the observed wear pattern places this comfortably in the EX (5) range with EX-MT (6) possible if corners are sharper than the photo resolves.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — off-center but not severely so for this issue. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding, particularly visible on the lower-left and upper-left corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious fraying or chips visible at this resolution. Surface shows some light gloss loss and possible minor print texture/snow typical of A&BC stock, but no visible creases, staining, or writing — surface stress lines cannot be fully ruled out from a single scan. The rough cut edges are normal for A&BC production and are not penalized. Back is not visible so hidden defects (creases, writing) cannot be excluded, warranting a widened range.

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 primary concern. Corners show visible rounding at all four points, most notably the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Edges appear slightly rough but that is normal for A&BC production of this era and should not be over-penalized. Surface shows some gloss loss and toning consistent with age; there is no crease clearly visible from this angle but the photo perspective obscures a definitive read on surface creases. The card presents as a solid mid-grade vintage example; back condition unknown and could shift the grade downward if creasing or staining is present.
