Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonably good, likely within 65/35 range on both axes. Corners appear lightly worn with minor blunting visible especially on the lower right and upper right corners, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Edges look clean with no visible nicks or rough tears beyond normal vintage cut texture for this issue. Surface gloss appears reasonably well-preserved with good color saturation and no obvious creases visible in this photo, though the back and corner sharpness under magnification remain unknown from a single front image; range widened accordingly.

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 slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border appears moderately wider than bottom (approx 60/40 T/B) - centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners show light rounding on at least the visible upper-left and lower-right corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears moderate with some visible wear or scuffing across the face, and there is minor print texture/snow typical of the 1966 Topps Batman series which should not be over-penalized. No creases are visible from this single-angle photo, but the back is unseen and could reveal additional flaws; the range is widened accordingly to account for hidden surface or back-side condition issues.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T-B), indicating off-center left-to-right which is a meaningful deduction. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on all four, most visible at the lower-right and upper-left; no sharp points remain but no severe wear either, consistent with EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with typical vintage rough-cut texture; no visible nicks or tears. Surface shows good color saturation with apparent retained gloss and no visible creases from this angle, though the single front-only photo cannot rule out back-side wear or hidden surface creases — range is widened accordingly.
