1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #12 Batman Strikes

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not extreme. Corners show visible rounding on at least the lower-left and upper-left corners; the right-side corners are less visible but appear similarly softened — consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some light gloss loss and the card exhibits the typical aging/toning seen on white borders of this vintage issue; no creases are clearly visible in this photo though the photo angle cannot rule them out entirely. Edges appear intact with no major nicks visible; the rough-cut texture typical of 1966 Topps Batman is present and not penalized. Back is not visible, so any hidden creases or staining could push the grade lower.

Card is in an acrylic screwdown holder, not a PSA slab. Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (roughly 70/30 left-to-right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 top-to-bottom) — centering is off but not catastrophically so for this set. Corners cannot be closely inspected due to the holder and glare, but no obvious heavy rounding is visible at the scale shown; they appear to show at least mild to moderate wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss is partially obscured by case glare but no obvious creases are visible; print quality looks intact with no apparent print snow or major defects detectable. The acrylic case and photo angle significantly limit assessment — corners, edges, and back are inaccessible, warranting a wide range; collector should remove from case for proper evaluation before submission.

Centering estimate from photo: left border appears slightly wider than right (approximately 60/40 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners are difficult to assess precisely due to acrylic holder glare and angle, but the lower-left and lower-right corners appear to show some rounding or softening consistent with an EX-range card; no sharp razor corners are clearly visible. Surface gloss appears moderate with no obvious creases visible from this angle, though the acrylic holder obscures full surface inspection. The image quality and in-holder obstruction prevent confident corner and edge assessment, necessitating a wide range — a raw examination could shift this significantly in either direction.

The seller's title explicitly states 'MISCUT,' and the photo supports this: a sliver of an adjacent card's printing (pink/reverse text) is clearly visible bleeding along the top edge, confirming a genuine miscut. Centering left/right appears roughly 60/40 but the top border is essentially absent with the adjacent card's ink intruding, making top/bottom something like 10/90 — severely off. PSA policy caps miscuts in the 1–3 range regardless of surface quality. Corner detail is difficult to assess through the sleeve and at this distance, but light rounding appears present on visible corners. Surface appears intact with reasonable color saturation, but the miscut is the dominant grade-limiting defect. Miscut error cards do carry a specialty collector premium outside the standard grade hierarchy, worth noting for marketing.
