I prefer them slapping the MC on the '52 Topps as often as possible (with how it's made people run for the hills on some of my set building needs before, even on the high numbers).
A few weeks ago in an auction, I picked up a PSA 6 MC high # common that was just 75/25 OC t/b on the front, and barely miscut in that direction on the back. You can see just the start of the next card's red line from the nameplate, and all writing on the opposite edge barely squeezes in.
Not surprisingly, it sold for barely half of what a grade 5 with no qualifiers would've, and that's easily it could've gotten.
