PSA has two different miscuts:
1) Card is not cut into a true rectangle (4x 90 degree angles) or is otherwise irregular for the issue. Will only slab as AUTHENTIC if you write that you want that on the form. Otherwise they send back ungraded. Some people (normally large volume submitters) can get slanted cards into number graded holders. This is not a qualifier.
2) The Miscut (MC) qualifier is for cards that have parts of the main card cut off, or show parts of other cards on the card you graded. That is a qualifier that PSA also does not waive (usually), even if you request NQs. They are a little more forgiving on issues like 1955 Bowman where most of the backs are miscut even if the fronts are centered.
Add: post picture. Sometimes cards from the 1950s and 1960s Topps have wavy natural edges that PSA will also label miscut #1 and only slab as AUTH.
