Leon:

"Miscut" is probably not the right word for it, but it's definitely cut with a tilt.

Like I said, I wouldn't grade it a 10. I'd probably grade it a 30. Given that you're saying that the lower-left corner would bring it to a 40, I would say that the paper loss on the back (in one area it takes away some of the writing, in another area it removes a small piece of ink) would bring it down to a 30.

I'd like to think that any grading company would bump a deserving card regardless of the grade. Although I don't have any $15K cards, I do have experience getting bumps that increased a card's value significantly - here's one that was once a 7.

(Edited to add: Yes, Steve, that's what I was referring to about the registration - the actual print registration is off, which is something that SGC factors into the grade).
