As a rule, rarity should be a reasonably good predictor of value. I always figured miscut cards were worth less than properly cut cards because uncut sheets exist and one can produce his or her own miscut cards by hand (and would do so if miscut cards commanded a premium; that is, more of them would enter the population as soon as they became more valuable -- which is exactly what keeps them from becoming more valuable). Wrong backs, however, are rare and will remain so no matter how much people are willing to pay for them; therefore they ought to command a premium.
