1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #5

Centering estimate: left border appears approximately 4-5mm, right border approximately 2-3mm, giving roughly 60/40 left-heavy L/R; top border approximately 3mm, bottom border approximately 4-5mm, giving roughly 45/55 T/B - centering is off but not severely so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible from this angle (lower-left and upper-left appear soft), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss with some toning/aging typical of 1966 A&BC stock; no obvious creases are visible but the watermark overlay obscures the central surface area making crease detection unreliable. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major chips or tears evident, though the rough cut typical of A&BC issues is noted and not penalized.

Centering estimate: left border is notably wider than right (approx. 70/30 left-to-right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx. 55/45 top-to-bottom) — off-center left-to-right is a meaningful deduction. All four corners show visible rounding/wear, with the lower-left corner appearing the softest; no razor-sharp corners are present. Surface shows some gloss loss consistent with handling, and there is light toning/aging on the white border areas typical of 1966 A&BC stock — no obvious creases are visible from this angle but the card's slight curve and photo angle make a definitive crease ruling impossible. Edges appear slightly rough but within normal A&BC cut variance; no staining or writing observed.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), so horizontal centering is a meaningful defect. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding — not sharp at any angle — consistent with a VG to VG-EX range at best. Surface: there is a visible diagonal crease/fold line running across the lower-left quadrant of the card (noticeable at the brick building area), which is a grade-capping flaw pushing toward VG or below; gloss appears largely lost with a dull, flat finish. Edges show roughness consistent with A&BC vintage cutting norms and should not be over-penalized, but the crease, rounded corners, and centering together place this card squarely in the 2–4 range with PSA 3 (VG) as the most likely outcome; the COMC watermark obscures confirmation of additional surface flaws.
