Index grading notes
MISCUT confirmed: the title of an adjacent card ('The Joker in Jail' / 'Do Not Hold') is clearly visible printed on the card behind/above, and the top border of this card shows a sliver of adjacent card printing, indicating a significant miscut — PSA typically caps miscut cards at a numeric grade of 2-3 regardless of surface condition. Centering estimate: Left border appears noticeably wider (~70%) vs. right (~30%), and top border is nearly absent while bottom border is moderate — severe left-right and top-bottom imbalance consistent with miscut. Corners are difficult to assess precisely through the sleeve glare but appear to show light-to-moderate rounding on visible corners, consistent with a grade-2 to grade-3 range. Surface gloss and print quality appear reasonable for a 1966 vintage card but the miscut is the dominant grade-limiting defect; this card would likely receive an 'MC' qualifier from PSA and carry collector value as an error card rather than a high-grade example.
Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-to-right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (roughly 60/40 top-to-bottom) - off-center but not catastrophic. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (upper-left and lower-left are most visible), suggesting moderate wear consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some light gloss loss and possible light handling wear; no obvious creases are visible in this photo but the card has a slightly tired look. Edges appear intact with no major nicks visible; back cannot be assessed from this image, which widens the range - a surface crease or stain on the back could push this toward a 3.
Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approximately 55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) - centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-right appear softened), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and some light toning/aging on the white border areas typical for this 58-year-old set. No obvious creases are visible from this single front photo, but the card shows overall wear consistent with well-loved handling. The back is not visible, which limits the grade ceiling; if the back is clean and crease-free, a 4-5 is supportable, but hidden issues on the reverse could pull this toward a 3.
Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — acceptable for the grade range. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding, consistent with EX to VG-EX wear; no corners appear sharp but none are severely blunted either. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible in this photo, though the seller's VG-EX self-assessment aligns with what is visible. Edges appear clean with no significant nicks; the rough-cut texture typical of 1966 Topps is present and not penalized. Back condition and any hidden surface issues cannot be assessed from this single front photo, which widens the range — a soft crease or back wear could pull this to a 4, while a clean back and better corner inspection could support a 5.
