Miscut Misnomer - A Serious Contribution to the Hobby Being Taken Lightly

[frankbmd]

I may be old school, but if a card is not miscut on the front, how can possibly be miscut on the back? It was only cut once.

Clearly the "so-called" miscut has nothing to do with the "cut" at all, but is the result of the printer's mis-alignment of the sheet before printing the reverse of the sheet. The sheet cutter had nothing to do with it and has been wrongly impugned by you freak collectors for years. Shame on you. The sheet cutters demand an apology.

From this point forward, I suggest that the "so-called miscut" should be called simply a "printing fubar", the result of an inebriated printer and not an inebriated cutter.

However, the term "miscut" should be reserved for the card that is aligned properly on the front and back and then cut improperly, so the inebriated sheet cutters are not off the hook entirely.

For PSA qualifier enthusiasts, the MC, by my definition, would be an exaggerated OC, and the so-called alignment "miscut" would be a "PF".

Cheers!
