1966 OPC Batman Red Bat #5A Pendulum Peril

Centering estimate: left border approximately 4mm, right border approximately 7mm, top border approximately 4mm, bottom border approximately 6mm — yielding roughly 65/35 left-to-right and 60/40 top-to-bottom, which is borderline NM-MT/NM territory if surfaces cooperate. Corners show visible rounding on at least the bottom-left and top-left corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX wear; right-side corners are harder to assess clearly. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some visible wear and minor toning consistent with a 50+ year old OPC issue; no obvious creases are visible from this angle but the back is unseen. The overall presentation suggests EX range (PSA 5), with corners being the primary grade limiter — if corners are sharper than they appear, a 6 is reachable; if a hidden crease exists on the back, a 4 is possible.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top border wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B), suggesting moderate miscentering but not an extreme miscut. Upper-left corner shows significant paper loss and toning/staining damage - this alone is grade-limiting, appearing as a chunk of surface wear or paper lift. Corners visible at lower-left appear rounded with wear, consistent with a VG-range card. The COMC watermark stamp obscures much of the surface preventing full assessment of gloss, print defects, or creases across the art area. Given the visible upper-left damage (possible paper loss or heavy staining), rounded corners, and centering issues, this card likely grades in the VG to VG-EX range at best, with the upper-left corner damage potentially pulling it toward GOOD territory; the COMC obstruction prevents ruling out additional surface flaws.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) - centering is off but not severely so, likely within 85/15 range. Corners show light to moderate rounding on at least the visible lower-left corner; upper corners appear slightly better but not sharp. Surface gloss appears present but reduced, consistent with age-appropriate wear for a 1966 OPC issue; no obvious creases are visible in this photo though the image resolution limits confidence on subtle surface flaws. Edges appear reasonably clean with no alarming fraying visible, though OPC rough cuts are normal for this issue and are not penalized. The back cannot be assessed and could reveal staining or creases that would push the grade lower.
