Buy the card and not the holder, right?

A PSA 6 is defined as:

A PSA 6 card may have visible surface wear or a printing defect which does not detract from its overall appeal. A very light scratch may be detected only upon close inspection. Corners may have slightly graduated fraying. Picture focus may be slightly out-of-register. Card may show some loss of original gloss, may have minor wax stain on reverse, may exhibit very slight notching on edges and may also show some off-whiteness on borders. Centering must be 80/20 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the reverse.

We can debate what "slightly" out of register means in comparison to this card, but combined with the odd cut, I personally would not value the card as a PSA 6. Your mileage may vary.

The discussion is about valuing a 6 that has no peers or superiors. It’s not about valuing what quality of 6 it is. This is literally only asking about valuing the holder, not the card.

If you want a deal, you might not get a card. If you want a card, you might not get a deal.
