Glyn,

The following italicized text is directly from PSA:

MC (Miscut):*
Cards that exhibit an atypical cut for the issue or ones that contain partial portions of more than one card will be designated "MC."


I get the 100-0 or worse centering example which you provided above. Clearly, this particular example does not have that centering condition. However, it does seem to exhibit the "atypical cut" specified by PSA.

Unless I am missing something, the card has squared corners at the bottom and a slanted top edge. Since T206 cards are typically rectangular, this would seem "miscut" to me.

I am fairly new to Pre-War cards and T206, so please don't take this as a snarky comment. I really am trying to learn here.

The card in question is not a rectangular piece of cardboard with a misaligned print. Instead, the actual cardboard itself seems, in my eyes at least, to have been miscut and is not rectangular.



So, why would a T206 that was not rectangular not be considered MC?

Again, I am not aiming this at you. And I am not trying to be confrontational. I simply do not have enough experience with T206 and would like some help interpreting MC qualifiers here.

I welcome comments from everyone on this. Thanks, in advance, and have a great evening.

Best Regards,

Eric.
