1966 OPC Batman Blue Bat #38B Beware the Batarang — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~70/30 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most pronounced at upper-left and lower-left, consistent with a VG card. Surface shows significant wear including what appears to be soiling or staining in the upper-left quadrant (dark mottled area), and overall gloss loss is evident across the image area. Edges appear rough but that is typical for OPC cuts of this era and should not be over-penalized; however, the corner rounding and surface wear together push this into the VG–VG-EX range, with the surface staining/damage being the primary grade-limiter. The hologram sticker on the face slightly obstructs assessment of that region and may itself affect grading if it leaves residue upon removal.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so, likely 70-80/20-30 range. Corners: all four show light-to-moderate rounding visible even at this resolution, consistent with EX to VG-EX wear; no corner is crisp. Surface: gloss appears reduced but no obvious creases are visible from this angle; the watermark obscures the center so hidden surface flaws cannot be ruled out. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chips or tears visible; overall the card presents as a solid EX (5) candidate, though hidden back condition or a crease under the watermark could push this toward VG-EX (4).

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~60% of right border width), top border slightly narrower than bottom — approximate L/R ~65/35, T/B ~55/45, which is within acceptable vintage range but leaning off. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most pronounced at top-left and bottom-left, consistent with a VG card. Surface shows considerable gloss loss across the image area with what appears to be a diagonal crease or heavy fold line running through the mid-left quadrant of the card face — this alone would cap the grade at VG or below. Edges appear somewhat rough but consistent with OPC coarser cutting norms; no tears or paper loss visible, but overall wear pattern and the apparent crease place this card solidly in the VG (3) range with VG-EX (4) possible only if the surface disturbance is a print artifact rather than a true crease.
