1966 OPC Batman Black Bat #21 Narrow Escape — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65-70% left bias), top border slightly wider than bottom, rough L/R ratio approximately 65/35 to 70/30 and T/B approximately 55/45 — centering is off but not catastrophically miscut. All four corners show visible rounding and wear, consistent with a VG-range card. The lower-left corner appears particularly soft and shows what looks like paper stress or minor damage. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and there is apparent soiling or foxing along the left edge. The image artwork itself is reasonably intact with no obvious creases confirmed from this single front photo, though the wear pattern and toning suggest possible light creasing on the reverse. OPC printings can show heavier stock wear; the overall presentation reads solidly VG (3), with a slim chance of VG-EX (4) if the back is cleaner than the front suggests.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approx 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approx 55/45 T-B) — within NM-MT range on both axes. Corners: the visible corners show mild to moderate rounding, particularly the lower-left and upper-left corners, consistent with EX-MT to NM range; no sharp razor points evident but no severe blunting either. Surface: there is a visible handwritten ink mark/signature in the upper-left corner area of the card image which is a meaningful surface defect — this alone could cap the grade significantly depending on PSA's view of it as writing on the card. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible. The writing/mark in the upper left is the primary concern and likely pulls this below NM regardless of other attributes; without that mark this would grade EX-MT to NM, but with it the grade could be capped lower — collector should be aware this marking may cause PSA to qualify or significantly downgrade the card.
