1966 OPC Batman Black Bat #49 Decoy — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 L/R favoring right), top and bottom borders look relatively even at roughly 55/45 — centering is off but not severely so. Corners show visible rounding and softening, particularly at lower-left and upper-left, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface appears reasonably clean with moderate gloss retention; some color fading/toning typical of vintage 1966 stock is present but no obvious creases are visible in this image. Edges appear slightly rough but that is normal for OPC cuts of this era and should not be over-penalized; without a back view or corner close-ups, a crease cannot be fully ruled out, widening the range.

Centering estimate: left border ~20%, right border ~80% horizontally — card is noticeably left-heavy, roughly 75/25 or worse left-to-right; top/bottom appears closer to 55/45 and is acceptable. Corner wear is visible at multiple corners with rounding evident, particularly at the lower-left and upper-left; corners are not sharp. Surface shows some light toning consistent with age and modest gloss loss, but no creases are clearly visible in this image. Edges appear intact with no major chips or tears, though the rough-cut texture typical of OPC issues is present and not penalized. The significant left-right centering skew is the primary grade-limiting factor here, pushing the card toward the VG-EX to EX range; the back cannot be assessed from this photo, widening the range slightly downward.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65/35 left-to-right), top and bottom borders appear roughly even (~55/45 top-to-bottom) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most apparent on lower-left and upper-right; no corner is sharp, consistent with a VG-EX or lower card. Edges appear reasonably intact with no obvious tears or major chips visible, though the slight blur limits confidence. Surface shows some gloss loss and possible light handling wear; no obvious hard crease is visible from this image, but the blur could be concealing light surface creases. Card is raw and unslabbed. The blur prevents definitive assessment of corner sharpness and fine surface detail — the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border notably wider than right (approx 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — horizontal centering is the primary concern but within vintage tolerance. Seller self-discloses a small crease, and given the OPC coarser stock this is taken seriously; a crease alone typically caps the grade at VG (3) or lower. Corners appear rounded rather than sharp — consistent with a VG to VG-EX range — but close-up corner detail is obscured by sleeve and image scale. Surface gloss appears partially present but some loss is visible; print quality looks typical for OPC stock with no obvious staining or writing visible. The crease disclosure, combined with visible corner rounding and partial gloss loss, anchors the estimate at PSA 3, with upside to 4 only if the crease is extremely faint and not structurally significant.

Centering estimate: left border ~8px, right border ~8px (L/R roughly 50/50); top border ~6px, bottom border ~10px (T/B approximately 60/40) - centering appears quite good overall. Corners: at this resolution the corners look intact with minimal rounding visible on all four, suggesting at least EX-MT range, though the scan compresses fine corner wear. Surface shows good color saturation and apparent gloss retention with no visible creases or staining. Edges appear clean and reasonably cut for a 1966 OPC issue where rough cuts are expected and not penalized. The main uncertainty is corner and surface condition at close inspection which a single eBay photo cannot fully reveal; range is set at 5-7 to account for hidden wear.
