1966 Topps Batman Red Bat #31A Flying Foes — Raw

Both front and back are visible but the sleeve glare and oblique angle make precise assessment difficult. Centering estimate on the front: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B) — this is moderate-to-significant left-heavy miscentering that would pressure the grade toward the EX range or lower. Corners appear to show some rounding or softness, particularly on the lower-right, consistent with a 5 EX or 4 VG-EX; no severe creases or staining are apparent on the front. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious print defects beyond typical vintage snow, but the sleeve obscures confirmation of any scratches or surface wear. The wide range reflects genuine uncertainty from sleeve obstruction and photo angle — a closer, unsleeved photo would be needed to tighten this estimate meaningfully.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approx 65/35 L/R skew), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 60/40 T/B) — centering alone is not catastrophic but contributes to grade pressure. All four corners show visible rounding and wear, consistent with a VG-range card; no sharp corners remain. The white/cream border areas show moderate toning and edge wear typical of well-handled 1966 Topps. Surface gloss appears substantially reduced with what looks like light surface scuffing or handling wear visible across the face; no obvious hard crease is confirmed from this single photo but the card body shows fatigue. Back is not visible so hidden creases or staining cannot be ruled out — range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T-B) — centering is off but not catastrophically miscut. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible (lower-left clearly blunted, upper-left soft), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range card. Surface gloss appears moderately reduced with some light wear/scuffing apparent in the mid-card area; no obvious hard creases are visible in this photo but the image resolution and angle make it difficult to rule out a light surface crease. Edges look slightly rough but within normal range for 1966 Topps rough-cut stock, no paper loss or writing visible; the back cannot be assessed and could reveal condition issues that would lower the grade.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left / 40-45% right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45), overall centering appears within EX-MT range. Corners appear reasonably sharp with only minor rounding visible on the bottom corners; top corners look slightly better but resolution limits confidence. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases or staining visible. White border shows minor toning consistent with vintage 1966 Topps stock, and the card edges appear clean without significant fraying — back is not visible so hidden creases or staining cannot be ruled out, widening the range accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B), which is acceptable for this set but slightly off. Corners show light to moderate rounding — the upper-left and lower-right corners appear softer than the upper-right, which looks relatively sharp; no corner is crisp enough for NM territory. Edges appear reasonably clean with the rough-cut texture typical of 1966 Topps Batman (not penalized). Surface shows moderate gloss retention with some light wear; no creases are visible in this image, but the back cannot be assessed. The overall presentation is consistent with EX (5) range, with a floor of VG-EX (4) if back-side issues or corner rounding is worse than visible here.

Centering estimate: left border ~6mm, right border ~4mm, top border ~5mm, bottom border ~5mm — approximately 60/40 left-to-right and 50/50 top-to-bottom, which is acceptable for vintage but the left-right shift is notable. Corners: the upper-left and lower-right corners appear to show light rounding/wear; the upper-right corner looks slightly blunted as well, consistent with EX to EX-MT range. Surface and gloss appear reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible in this photo, though some minor print snow is present which is normal for this issue. Cannot assess the back for staining or paper quality, and corner closeups are not available, so the range is widened accordingly — a hidden crease or more significant corner wear on the back could push this toward a 4.

MISCUT CONFIRMED: The right edge shows a distinct white strip of an adjacent card's unprinted border bleeding into this card's right side — this is a production miscut, not just off-centering. Centering estimate: left border ~2mm, right border ~8-10mm (extremely off, roughly 85/15 L/R); top border obscured by label but appears thin; bottom border moderate. This miscut effectively caps the grade in the PSA 1-3 range regardless of surface condition. Surface gloss appears partially intact through the sleeve but there is visible toning on the white borders and the card shows age-consistent wear. Corners cannot be assessed precisely through the toploader glare but appear rounded based on visible softness at lower corners. Error/miscut cards have a dedicated collector market and should be marketed as such — PSA does grade miscuts but qualifies them 'MC' (miscut) and the numeric grade reflects overall condition within that context, likely landing PSA 1-2 due to the severity of the cut shift.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top and bottom borders look close to 55/45 — centering is acceptable for EX-MT range. Corners show mild rounding at two or three corners visible from this distance, consistent with light use; no corner is sharply crisp but none appears heavily blunted. Surface gloss appears present with no obvious creases or staining visible; print quality looks typical for the 1966 issue with no alarming snow or color breaks noted. Back cannot be assessed from this photo, and corner detail is limited at this zoom level, so the range is widened accordingly — a closer inspection could push the grade up toward 7 NM or confirm light wear holding it at 5-6.
