1966 OPC Batman Bat Laffs #51 The Joker

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border marginally wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is passable, no severe off-center issue. Corners appear lightly rounded with wear visible at two or more corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; no corners look sharp enough for NM territory. Surface shows expected toning/aging for a 1966 vintage card and the CoMC watermark obscures the center, making it impossible to assess surface creases or print defects there with confidence. Edges appear reasonably intact with no obvious nicks visible, but the scan resolution and watermark prevent a definitive surface and corner call — back is unseen, so any back creases or staining could pull the grade lower.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable and not a major deduction. The CoMC watermark obscures the center surface, making surface assessment difficult. Corners appear to show light rounding at all four tips — no sharp points visible, suggesting wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges look reasonably clean with no visible tears or major nicks, consistent with the typical rough-cut character of this OPC issue. Gloss appears present but reduced; no creases are visible from this scan, but the watermark prevents confident surface assessment — range widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most notably the lower-left and upper-right, suggesting handling wear consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and some light soiling/toning across the face typical of unprotected storage; no creases are clearly visible in this photo though the back cannot be assessed. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major chips or tears visible; the rough-cut characteristic of OPC issues is present on the right edge but is normal for this issue and not penalized.
