robert aPeter,
I think it's more "normal" for a t206 not to have wavy borders like this matty, but why they use the term "miscut" is a mystery to me.
I agree with you though in principle. When I think of miscut, I think of an unaltered card with a shorter border or more space on the top than bottom.
Now let's talk about how the grading companies use the word miscut.
I've sent in cards that have "normal" wear like this on the borders. Perhaps the card was in a rubberband stack. Either way, the card appeared to be unaltered by humans and untrimmed. SGC returned them with their default one word explanation of "miscut."
Maybe "miscut" is their way of saying "we're not sure" if it's been trimmed, altered, or what, but we know it's authentic.
