For a registry set, cards with grades above 2 lose 2 grades for what they equate to, so this would be a 3 if you counted it towards a registry set. If the other card wasn't visible on the back, it would be a 5(OC). Same basic result. Most qualifier cards will be priced around the same as a card 2 grades lower, but since yours has multiple problems and is severely off-center, it might be valued four grades lower.

they most certainly do. it happens on rare occasions, but i have seen them definitely do a 3(MC) and will write "stain" on the bottom line of the flip. They will also do this if a card is simply assigned an "authentic" grade and will qualify the bottom line with mc, st or mk. it's not universally done by all the graders but they do pump out these every once in a while if that second qualifier is just as blatantly obvious...100%.
will let swarmee answer your questions addressed to him, but they use 10x magnification and that card wouldn't get a 5mc.
i don't buy cards w. qualifiers and if submitting request for straight numerical grade vs getting a higher grade w/ a qualifier, but here is an example:
