I think the term "miscut" is often misused. The Robinson is not a miscut. It is a misprint. The term miscut implies that the card was cut wrong. In the case of the Robinson, how could it have been cut better so that it wouldn't be a miscut? It couldn't have, because it is a misprint. In other words, the front print does not align with the back print. The front is centered 80/20 (ballpark guess) and the back is centered 100/0 - not a cutting flaw, but a printing flaw.
The term miscut should only refer to cards with mistakes in the cutting process such as diamond cut cards, wavy borders, etc. – not a mistake in the printing process.
The Robinson should have received either a PD or OC qualifier, not a MC qualifier. Just another example of PSA's incompetence.
