1966 A&BC Batman Black Bat #9 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60-65% right-heavy), top border appears slightly wider than bottom - approximate L/R ratio ~65/35, T/B ~55/45, which would be borderline for grades above 6. Corners show visible rounding at all four tips, most notable at bottom-left and top-right, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some toning/aging typical of A&BC British issues; no obvious creases are visible but the watermark obstruction prevents confident assessment of the center surface. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chips visible, though the rough-cut character normal for A&BC printings is present. The combination of corner rounding and off-centering most plausibly places this in the 3-5 range; without a clear corner closeup or crease confirmation the range cannot be tightened further.
