1966 OPC Batman Black Bat #23 Umbrella Duel

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly equal to right border (~50/50 L/R); top border appears slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is quite good for this issue. Corners: all four corners appear reasonably sharp with no obvious rounding visible at this distance; upper-right and lower-right corners look the sharpest, lower-left shows a hint of softness but nothing definitive. Edges appear clean with the characteristic rough-cut texture normal for OPC/Topps 1966 vintage production — no deduction warranted. Surface gloss appears intact with good color saturation and no visible creases or staining; some minor print imperfections typical of the era may be present but are not resolved in this image. Back is not visible, and corner close-ups are unavailable, so the range is widened accordingly — a sharper photo could push this toward a 7 or pull it to a 5.

Centering estimate: left border ~8px, right border ~12px, top border ~8px, bottom border ~14px — approximately 60/40 L/R and 65/35 T/B, acceptable for a 7 but the bottom-heavy weighting nudges toward 6 territory. Corners appear lightly worn with some soft rounding visible at the bottom-left and bottom-right, consistent with EX-MT (6) range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible, though print snow typical of OPC stock is present. Edges show some roughness consistent with vintage OPC coarser cutting standards, which should not be over-penalized; no miscut is evident. Single photo prevents assessment of back condition, card stock wear, or fine corner detail — range widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top and bottom borders appear more even at approximately 55/45 T-B — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible from this angle (lower-left most apparent), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows scattered scuffing and light print wear across the face, with some soiling or toning evident in the lower border area; gloss appears partially intact but diminished. Edges look reasonably intact with no obvious tears, though OPC cards carry a characteristically rougher cut that should not be penalized. No visible creases in this photo, though a crease could be hiding in areas of busy artwork; without back visibility and corner close-ups, the range is widened accordingly.

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.
