My question is about cards that are centered on the front but misaligned on the back, so that parts of (what should have been) two or more backs are visible. I'm aware there's a range in what premium, if any, these cards tend to sell for, but I'm curious how much it varies. I assume the most valuable would clearly show parts of four different backs, with the miscut itself well-centered so that none of them is clearly the predominant back. And I assume the least valuable (no premium?) is one that is barely miscut on one axis so that just a sliver of the adjacent back is visible. T206 freak collectors, what premium would you expect these cards to sell for? (None, 50%, 3x, 10x, 40x,...)?
All four backs showing equally:
Two backs clearly and equally visible, two others barely showing:
One predominant back, two others visible upon close examination:

From a strict geometric perspective, I am having difficulty imagining a card with three backs visible. If it has a lateral mate and a vertical mate visible, you would see the corner of a fourth back. Not that it really matters to me.
And once again I would suggest that these cards are misprints (mal-aligned) and not miscuts.
If you cannot cut it correctly, you cannot miscut it.
So if I wanted to collect these, I would tip (bribe) the printer (and not the cutter) and have him send me a few.
