No. Miscut doesn't mean slightly uneven borders. Miscut means NO border or part of the adjacent card is showing front or back.

Yep - My thoughts on the MC designation exactly (and also PSA's per their Grading Standards page)

Understand however that the miscut qualifier from PSA and the N8 (“Do not grade”) miscut rejection code are two very different things. Under the latter, they can decide that the cut just looks wonky, and call it miscut even if there is not something obvious like part of another card showing.

To illustrate J-Coll's point, here's my otherwise wonderfully-centered 1968 Mantle that has the 'miscut' designation due to its wonky cut (non-straight and true) down the left side (PSA wouldn't holder it due to the same factor).
Even though it came out of the pack this way, it will forever carry the shameful scarlet letters of MC, and it saddens me...

Jolly, I think SGC is getting worse about this than they used to be. I have a beautiful 1956 Topps Ernie Banks, which has a weird angular and wide left top border. It was an old SGC 6, that I foolishly busted out of the slab some years ago because of something I didn’t like about the slab. Upon reflection, however, I shouldn’t have done that because the card clearly has some attributes of a PSA N8 miscut, in that the upper left corner isn’t precisely square.




It is a part of my set, and a beautiful card but if I ever try to grade it again, I don’t know that it will pass muster. Oh well.

Just collect beaters and you'll be happy when they grade at all.

The "forever" wouldn't last a day were it in my possession. The card would swiftly be free to breathe again.
