No it’s not. It’s the textbook confusion between tilt or a diamond cut, but not “miscut.” Textbook definition there would be so O/C there is no border on one side, or there is part of another card showing. That of course is the “practical” textbook definition and the one used in the popular culture of collecting. PSA’s actual textbook definition is much more vague, what with the whole “atypical cut” language. That in my mind is just their way of being vague so they can call something miscut and not have to explain. I have another ‘53 Topps card that isn’t miscut but was graded PSA 5 MC even though there is a sliver of the top border you can still see - and the back is not a problem at all. It is at most 95/5 OC but is not miscut. Who knows.
