1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #49 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (~65-70% of right border width), top border slightly narrower than bottom — approximately 60/40 left-right and 55/45 top-bottom, so centering is workable but off. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding under inspection; no corner appears sharp, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface: some gloss loss visible, print appears slightly soft as is typical for A&BC stock, no obvious crease detected but the CoMC watermark and card angle obscure the full surface. Edges: cut appears rough but this is normal for A&BC issues and should not be over-penalised. No staining or writing visible; back cannot be assessed. Range of 3–5 reflects corner rounding (pushing below EX) with uncertainty about hidden surface creases or back condition.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approximately 60/40 L/R), top border marginally wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for EX range. Corners show light rounding on at least the visible lower-left corner; upper corners appear reasonably sharp but soft detail in the photo prevents confident corner assessment. Edges appear clean with no obvious nicks or tears visible. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no visible creases, though the photo resolution does not allow confident exclusion of fine surface wear or print defects — vintage A&BC cards commonly exhibit print snow which does not heavily penalize grade. No miscut evident. Range reflects uncertainty around corner and surface condition that cannot be fully resolved from this single seller photo.

Centering estimate: left border ~8mm, right border ~5mm, top border ~5mm, bottom border ~6mm — yielding approximately 62/38 L/R and 55/45 T/B; off-center left-to-right but not severely so. Corners appear lightly rounded rather than sharp, consistent with EX to VG-EX range — no razor points visible but no heavy blunting either. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with some minor print grain/snow typical of A&BC 1966 stock; no obvious creases are visible but the photo does not allow a definitive ruling. Edges appear clean with no fraying visible; the rough cut on the left edge is normal for A&BC British issue and is not penalized. Back not visible, sleeve glare obscures fine surface detail in top-right quadrant, widening the range accordingly.
