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

[drcy]

As a former philosophy student, I can tell you that this is really a question for metaphysics class not a baseball card board.

It definitely involves a misalignment of front and back printing-- and if the back and front were aligned there would be no 'miscut.' However, the cutting comes last. Someone might argue that it is miscut, but that, due to the misalignment printing, it was impossible not to miscut the card.

My point of view is that the making of a card or painting or sculpture is a process involving many things-- but if someone wants to argue that the primary error in the making of the cards was misprinting, I see that as a perfectly reasonable argument. When the back is blank or upside down (but otherwise centered), no one calls it a miscut . . . Though I'm waiting for someone to argue "A blank back could be miscut. You just can't tell."
