1966 OPC Batman Black Bat #43 The Bat-Gasmask — Raw

Centering: left border appears roughly 10-12% narrower than right, top border slightly narrower than bottom — estimating approximately 55/45 L/R and 58/42 T/B, which is acceptable for EX-MT to NM range. Corners: all four corners appear reasonably sharp with only minor softening visible, consistent with light to moderate wear — no severe rounding detected. Edges: appear fairly clean with no obvious nicks visible at this resolution; rough cut texture is normal for this vintage OPC issue and is not penalized. Surface: image presents good color saturation and apparent gloss retention; no visible creases, staining, or print defects beyond possible minor print snow inherent to the set, though fine surface wear and gloss loss at card edges cannot be fully assessed from this single front photo. Back condition, edge quality, and precise corner sharpness remain unverifiable.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is imperfect but not severe. The white borders show moderate toning/yellowing consistent with age. All four corners show visible rounding, with the upper-left and lower-right corners appearing the most worn — this is the primary grade anchor pushing toward VG-EX or lower. Surface gloss appears partially present but dulled, with no creases clearly visible in this image though the photo angle could conceal light surface creases. Edges appear intact without major chips or tears, which is consistent with a 4 VG-EX; corner rounding prevents a grade of 5 EX, and the absence of visible creases keeps it out of firm VG-3 territory, though a hidden crease on the reverse could drop the grade.

Centering: left border appears roughly 10-12% wider than right, top border slightly wider than bottom — estimating approximately 60/40 L/R and 58/42 T/B, which is acceptable for NM-MT range but pushes toward the edge of NM. Corners: at this resolution all four corners appear reasonably sharp with no obvious blunting or rounding visible, though the lower-left and upper-right corners show slight softening consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface and gloss: the card appears to retain good gloss with no visible creases, staining, or print snow evident in the image; color saturation looks strong. Edges appear clean with no tears or nicks visible, though the rough-cut characteristic of OPC stock may mask minor edge texture — back condition, corner micro-wear, and true gloss level cannot be assessed from this single front photo, which is why the range is widened.
