1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #55 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), so left-heavy misalignment is the dominant centering issue. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-right are most visible), consistent with a VG-range card. Surface shows significant toning/yellowing across the white borders, which is common on A&BC issues but here appears pronounced, suggesting age wear beyond typical. Gloss appears largely lost with a flat, matte surface texture visible; no obvious hard crease is detectable from this photo but the overall surface wear and corner condition point firmly to a VG (3) grade, with VG-EX (4) possible if corners are slightly better than they appear and no hidden crease exists on reverse.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-right), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at roughly 60/40 top-heavy — centering is off but not miscut territory. Corners show visible rounding, particularly on the lower-left and upper-left, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some toning/yellowing on the border areas typical of A&BC British issues of this era, and there is modest gloss loss visible. Edges appear reasonably clean without major nicks, but the plastic holder and slight photo angle prevent confident assessment of all four corners and any potential surface creases; back is unavailable.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top and bottom borders appear roughly 55/45 T/B — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most notably the upper-left and lower-right, consistent with VG range handling. Surface shows moderate gloss loss with what appears to be toning/soiling on the lower-left quadrant and general paper aging typical of A&BC British issues. There is a possible light crease or paper stress line visible in the lower-left area, which if confirmed pushes the grade toward a 2-3; the watermark obstruction prevents definitive surface assessment, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in frame (bottom-left most apparent), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows general toning/aging typical of A&BC stock, with some gloss loss evident. The COMC watermark and moderate image angle obscure fine surface detail and prevent confident corner assessment on all four corners; the card appears to have seen moderate wear without obvious hard creases from this view, but the back is unseen and A&BC cards of this vintage often carry reverse wear. Range widened due to photo limitations.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is passable but not tight. Corners appear to have light to moderate rounding, particularly visible on the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible in this image, though the A&BC printing stock can hide subtle wear. Edges appear intact with no obvious nicks or tears, though the scan angle and possible sleeve make precise corner and edge assessment difficult — back is unseen, widening the range.
