1966 A&BC Batman Red Bat #39A — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-right favor), top border tighter than bottom (roughly 65/35 top-bottom) — meaningful but not extreme miscentering for the issue. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (bottom-left and bottom-right are the most readable), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and what appears to be light handling wear; no creases are definitively visible in this photo though the image softness prevents ruling out a light surface crease. Edges appear reasonably intact with the rough cut texture normal for A&BC issues — no paper loss or tears evident. Back is unviewable so condition qualifiers cannot be excluded; range widened accordingly.

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (estimated ~60/40 left-to-right, slightly off but not severe); top border appears somewhat thinner than bottom, approximately 65/35 top-to-bottom — centering is modest but not catastrophic. Corners: upper-left and lower-right corners show visible rounding; upper-right appears softer than ideal; no sharp razor corners are present, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface: some gloss loss is visible and there is light toning/aging typical of A&BC stock from this era; no obvious heavy crease is visible in this photo, though a light surface crease cannot be ruled out without back inspection. Edges show some slight roughness consistent with A&BC cut quality norms; no writing, tears, or staining visible — a raw grade of 4 (VG-EX) is the most likely result, with EX (5) possible if corners are better than they appear at this resolution.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top border moderate, bottom border slightly wider than top (approximately 60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most pronounced at bottom-left and top-right, consistent with a VG range card. A surface crease is visible in the upper portion of the card running through the bat-logo title area, which is a significant grade-limiting defect pushing toward VG or lower. Gloss appears mostly lost, surface shows general wear and toning typical of this A&BC British issue; edges are rough-cut which is normal for this set and not penalized. The crease and rounded corners are the primary defects anchoring this card in the 2-3 range; without a clearer image of the back and corner closeups, the range is widened slightly to 2-4.
