Lee - you would be right if collectors ONLY bought the holder, and didn't look at the card. Just because people don't want to pay book value for a holder that contains an ugly example of the grade, doesn't mean that the card has been trimmed.
<<Oh, but we are smarter than that and do not bid because the card is serioously flawed and we know it even thoough the professional grader says otherwise.>>
You nailed it. The professional grader marked it "MC", which is exactly what the card is. Until PSA comes up with a designation for the severity of the miscut, this has to do. Some miscut cards are uglier than others - this is perhaps the ugliest in existence.
I have an SGC40 t206 black cap Matty that has near-perfect corners, perfect surface, perfect registration and color; however, it has two wrinkles that don't break the paper, but knock it technically down to "VG". On the other hand, we have all seen SGC40 examples with rounded corners, poor gloss, stains, and terrible registration. It's a no-brainer which card you would pay the most for.
