1966 OPC Batman Black Bat #54 Whirlpool — Raw

Centering estimate: left border ~30%, right border ~70% (horizontal), top border ~45%, bottom border ~55% — left-to-right ratio approximately 70/30, which is borderline EX-MT/NM territory horizontally but not disqualifying on its own. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most pronounced at lower-left and upper-right, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss across the image area and some light handling wear/scuffing visible in the mid-section; no creases are apparent from this photo but cannot be ruled out on the back. Edges appear reasonably intact with the rough cut typical of OPC stock; no paper loss or tears visible. The card grades most plausibly as VG-EX (4), with EX (5) possible if corners are slightly better than they appear under the sleeve glare, and VG (3) possible if a hidden crease exists on the reverse.

Centering estimate: left border ~8%, right border ~12%, top border ~10%, bottom border ~10% — left/right roughly 40/60, top/bottom approximately 50/50; horizontal centering is notably off but not severely so. Corners show visible light rounding on at least two corners (bottom-left and bottom-right appear softer), consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears moderate with some gloss loss evident, and there is mild toning/aging to the borders typical of 1966 vintage stock — no creases are visible from this photo but cannot be ruled out on the reverse. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious tears; this is a solid mid-grade raw vintage card, but the corner wear and horizontal centering push it away from the EX-MT tier.

Centering estimate: left border ~8mm, right border ~5mm, top border ~5mm, bottom border ~6mm — approximately 60/40 L/R and 55/45 T/B, centering is workable but not sharp. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most pronounced at upper-left and lower-left, consistent with a VG-range card. Surface shows significant wear: heavy crease visible diagonally across the upper-left quadrant running through the cape area, plus additional light creasing or stress lines in the lower portion — this is the dominant grade-killer. Gloss is largely gone, stock appears toned/soiled consistent with age and handling; the CoMC watermark obscures the mid-left surface so full assessment is limited, widening the range.

Centering estimate: left border ~8mm, right border ~5mm, top border ~6mm, bottom border ~7mm — left/right roughly 60/40 to 65/35, top/bottom roughly 45/55; centering is acceptable for a 5-6 grade. Corners appear to show light rounding on at least two corners (bottom-left most visible), consistent with EX to EX-MT range. Surface shows some toning/aging typical of vintage OPC stock and there is slight gloss loss apparent, but no creases are visible in this image. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chipping; the plastic sleeve limits a definitive read on corner sharpness and surface texture, so the range is widened accordingly.
