MC is a qualifier that stands for Miscut

From PSA:

MC (miscut)
Type of qualifier. A card that has little or no border, or even portions of another card. Cards with a factory miscut, such as a diamond cut, or when another card's image is on the original card will be designated MC.

Think of MC in terms of the worst case scenerio of an off centered card...jay

How much of a difference determines if you receive an OC or a MC?

Griffins

OC hurts the value, MC kills it.

Master of Ceremonies. Oh wait, you mean in the baseball card world. I thought we were talking old school rap stars.

An MC designation will occur if there is no border on any of the 4 sides.
OC can vary based on the grade, the tolerance goes down when the grade
is lowered. In other words a PSA-5 quality card can have alot of off centering before
it gets the oc qualifier, a PSA-9 can only have a little before it gets the qualifier...jay

Makes the most sense since there are no borders on 1968 topps game.

An MC can also occur if there is something on the back. I've had cards come back that look decent on the front - but the back had a line or some other graphic from another card...and it was tagged with the dreaded MC.

When I was a kid - I thought this made the card more rare!!
