1966 OPC Batman Black Bat #23 Umbrella Duel — Raw

Centering: left/right borders appear roughly 60/40 and top/bottom roughly 55/45 — not itself a major issue — but surface damage is severe and dominates the grade. Heavy creasing is visible across the upper-left quadrant and diagonally through the center of the card, with what appears to be paper compression lines radiating across the entire face. All four corners show significant rounding and fraying, consistent with heavy handling. Gloss is largely absent across the surface, and there are multiple scuffs and wear tracks visible. In PSA terms this card sits firmly in the PR-FR (1) to GOOD (2) range; the pervasive heavy creasing, corner damage, and surface wear push the point estimate to 1.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for EX range, no OC concern. Corners: upper-left and lower-right corners show visible light rounding consistent with EX (PSA 5) territory; upper-right appears slightly better but not sharp. Lower-left is partially obscured by card angle but shows minor wear. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chips or tears visible, consistent with the rougher cut typical of OPC vintage stock — no over-penalization applied. Surface shows good color saturation with apparent gloss retention, no obvious creases visible, no staining or print defects beyond normal period print characteristics. Seller's EX claim appears honest; without corner closeups and a back view, the range spans VG-EX to EX-MT, with EX (5) as the most defensible point estimate.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonably close, not a disqualifying concern. Corners: all four appear to have mild to light rounding; no sharp knife-edge corners are visible but no severe blunting either, consistent with EX to EX-MT range. Surface: gloss appears decent with no obvious creases visible in the image; some minor print texture is expected for vintage OPC stock and should not be penalized. Edges appear intact without major chipping. The main limiting factors are the corner condition and the inability to assess the back or confirm absence of hidden creases; the card most plausibly grades in the EX to EX-MT range.
