1966 Topps Batman Red Bat #31A Flying Foes

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly 10-12% wider than right border (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly thinner than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is serviceable and not a major grade limiter. Corners: all four corners appear reasonably sharp from this distance with slight softening visible on at least two corners (upper-left and lower-right), consistent with light use; no obvious rounding or blunting that screams below EX. Surface: gloss appears present with no obvious creases visible in the artwork or border area; some minor print texture is normal for this issue and not penalized. Edges appear clean with no visible nicks; back is not visible so hidden flaws (creases, staining, writing) cannot be ruled out — range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approximately 60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonable but not tight enough for grades above 7. Corners appear intact with only light wear visible at the tips; no obvious rounding or blunting that would push below a 5, but slight softening is plausible at two corners. Surface gloss appears decent with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects beyond normal 1966 Topps print texture. Edges look clean with no visible nicks or roughness beyond expected vintage rough-cut characteristics normal for this issue. Back is not visible so hidden creases or staining cannot be ruled out, warranting the widened range.

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 noticeably narrower than right (roughly 70/30 left-right), top and bottom borders appear closer to 60/40 top-heavy — centering is off but not catastrophically so for vintage Topps. Corners show mild-to-moderate rounding visible at top-left and bottom-right at this resolution, consistent with a card that has seen some handling. Surface gloss appears partially intact with no obvious creases visible from this scan, though light wear or scuffing cannot be ruled out. Edges appear reasonably clean with no evident tears; vintage rough-cut texture is present but normal for this issue. Without a back view or corner macro shots, the range is kept wide — a crease or more significant corner wear hidden in the image could push this toward a 4, while cleaner surface detail could support a 5-6.
