1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #49 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-right), top and bottom borders look relatively even at roughly 55/45 — centering is off horizontally but not severely so. Corners appear to have light rounding on at least the visible lower-left and upper-left corners, consistent with EX to EX-MT range; no sharp razor corners are evident. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible in this image, though the scan angle may conceal subtle surface wear. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chipping; rough cut texture is normal for A&BC vintage stock and not penalized. The back cannot be assessed from this photo, and corner closeups are unavailable, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T-B) — off-center but not miscut territory. Corners: at this resolution the corners appear to show moderate rounding, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range; no razor sharpness visible. Surface: the image artwork looks reasonably clean with no obvious heavy creases visible, though gloss level is hard to assess through the CoMC watermark and photo angle. Edges appear slightly rough but that is normal for A&BC vintage stock. The main uncertainties are corner condition at close inspection and whether any surface creases exist — both could push this toward 3 (VG) if wear is worse than it appears.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably thinner than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — not severely off but visibly uneven. Corners: top-left and bottom-left corners show some rounding/wear visible even at this resolution; top-right and bottom-right appear moderately sharp but not crisp. Edges appear reasonably clean with no gross chipping but the rough cut typical of A&BC issues is present and not penalized per vintage norms. Surface shows some gloss loss and possible light toning consistent with a ~60-year-old British card; no creases are visible but the sleeve glare obscures portions of the surface and could be hiding minor imperfections. The range reflects uncertainty about corner condition and hidden surface wear — a 6 is possible if corners are cleaner than they appear, while a 4 is possible if any light crease exists beneath the glare.
