1966 Topps UK Batman Black Bat #25 — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 left-right skew favoring right side), top border slightly wider than bottom, perhaps 55/45 top-bottom — not severely off-center but noticeable. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most apparent at lower-left and upper-right, consistent with VG to VG-EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss with some light wear; no obvious hard creases visible from this angle though subtle surface creasing cannot be ruled out given the age and overall wear pattern. Edges appear slightly rough which is normal for A&BC cuts of this era and should not be penalized. The image resolution and angle limit confident corner and surface assessment, so the range is kept wide; a crease hidden by the angle could push this to a 3.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65/35 L-R), top and bottom borders appear roughly even (~55/45 T-B), so left-right centering is a meaningful defect but not extreme. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding and wear — none are sharp; this is consistent with a VG to VG-EX range. Edges: the card edges show roughness consistent with the normal A&BC rough-cut production style, so edge texture is not penalized heavily, but there is visible fraying/softness especially on the right side. Surface: there are visible surface creases or stress lines running across the card face (most apparent in the upper-left quadrant), gloss appears largely lost, and there is toning/aging on the white border — these surface issues are the primary grade-limiting factors pushing toward VG (3) rather than VG-EX (4). The photo blur prevents definitive corner and crease assessment, widening the range; a physical inspection could shift the grade up or down by one point.
