1966 OPC Batman Black Bat #49 Decoy — Raw

Centering estimate: left border ~10%, right border ~12%, top border ~11%, bottom border ~9% — left/right roughly 45/55, top/bottom roughly 55/45, centering is acceptable in the EX-NM range and does not cap the grade. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most notably the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with EX to VG-EX wear. Surface shows moderate gloss loss typical for a handled vintage card of this era; print quality looks solid with no obvious print snow or staining visible at this resolution. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious chips or tears, but the rough-cut texture normal to OPC issues is noted and not penalized; back is not visible so any creases or staining on reverse cannot be assessed.

Centering: left border appears roughly 10-12% wider than right, top border slightly larger than bottom — estimating approximately 60/40 left-to-right and 55/45 top-to-bottom, which is acceptable but not tight. Corners: all four corners show some rounding/softening, most visible at bottom-left and top-right, consistent with EX to VG-EX range — no sharp points remain but no severe rounding either. Edges: appear reasonably clean with the slightly rough cut typical of OPC/1966 Batman stock; no major nicks visible. Surface: some light gloss loss is apparent, no visible creases in the image, though the photo cannot rule out light surface creases or toning; print quality looks solid with no heavy snow or major defects noted.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R favorable or thereabouts), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a mid-to-upper grade. Corners: upper-left and lower-left corners appear reasonably sharp with minimal rounding visible; upper-right and lower-right are harder to assess at this resolution but show no obvious heavy wear. Edges appear clean with no major nicks visible. Surface shows good color saturation and apparent gloss retention with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects beyond normal vintage print characteristics; the image is crisp. Cannot confirm back condition, corner sharpness under magnification, or subtle gloss loss from this single front photo, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T-B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. All four corners show visible rounding, consistent with a VG-range card; no corners appear sharp. The card surface shows significant toning/yellowing on the border area and what appears to be print wear or light creasing in the upper left quadrant visible even through the holder. Gloss is largely gone, consistent with heavy handling. A crease or fold stress line appears present in the upper-left region of the card, which if confirmed would support a PSA 3 or lower; without a back view or corner macro shots the range must remain wide.

Centering: left border ~8mm, right border ~5mm, top border ~5mm, bottom border ~7mm — roughly 62/38 L/R and 58/42 T/B, acceptable for a PSA 7 ceiling on centering alone. Corners appear lightly worn with very mild rounding visible, consistent with EX-MT to NM range; no corner is sharply pointed but none is heavily blunted either. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects visible from this scan; some minor toning on the white borders is possible but not clearly confirmed at this resolution. Overall condition presentation reads as EX-MT (6) to NM (7), with the lower end of the range accounting for corner and edge wear that may be more apparent under close inspection — vintage rough-cut edges are not penalized per 1966 Batman set norms.
