1966 Topps Batman Black Bat #12 Batman Strikes

MISCUT confirmed: a sliver of an adjacent card's printing is clearly visible along the top edge ('DO NOT BEND' text from another card's back is showing inverted), indicating this card was cut into its neighbor — PSA treats miscuts as OC-qualifier errors that typically cap grades at 2-3. Centering estimate from the front image: left border ~5mm, right border ~2mm, top border ~1mm (effectively zero, eaten by miscut), bottom border ~4mm — approximate L/R ratio 70/30, T/B ratio near 5/95, severe top-edge miscut. Corners appear lightly rounded under sleeve distortion, consistent with a well-circulated card; surface shows some print texture typical of the 1966 Topps Batman issue but no obvious heavy creases are visible in this photo. The miscut is the dominant defect and will dominate the PSA grade; miscuts do carry a separate error-collector market premium, so raw value may exceed a straight grade-2 comparable.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonably close and not a major defect. Corners: all four corners show some visible rounding/softening under inspection; no razor-sharp corners remain, consistent with light-to-moderate handling wear placing this in the EX to VG-EX range. Surface: some gloss loss is visible, consistent with age; no obvious creases are detectable from this photo, though the back is unseen. Edges: appear reasonably clean with no major nicks visible; rough cut texture typical of 1966 Topps Batman is noted and not penalized. Without corner closeups or back inspection, a crease or additional surface wear cannot be ruled out, hence the widened range of 4–6.

Centering estimate: left border appears moderately wider than right (roughly 60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T/B) — centering is imperfect but not severe, consistent with PSA 5-6 range. Corners: the upper-left and lower-left corners show visible rounding/softening; upper-right and lower-right appear slightly better but not sharp — consistent with moderate wear, placing this in EX to VG-EX territory. Surface: print quality looks typical for the 1966 Topps Batman series with some visible print grain; no obvious creases or staining are detectable from this image, but the sleeve glare limits full surface assessment. Edges: appear reasonably clean with no major nicks visible, though the rough-cut character normal for this issue is present; overall condition reads as a solid EX (PSA 5) with upside to EX-MT (6) if corners are slightly better than they appear and no hidden creases exist on the back.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on all four, most visible at bottom-left and bottom-right, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious chips or tears; the slightly rough cut is normal for this vintage issue and not penalized. Surface shows some gloss loss and minor toning on the white border areas typical of 1966 Topps Batman, no visible creases or staining from this angle, though the back cannot be assessed. The condition most consistently points to EX (5), with VG-EX (4) possible if corner rounding is more pronounced than it appears, and EX-MT (6) possible if corners are sharper under magnification.
