I have some Bob Gibsons and 2 1959 Aaron's that were returned as MC's and they have borders all the way around.....but when I put them up back to back with another card they were shaped a tad different.
<< <i>someone posted that one of the borders is gone??

Different kind of miscut.
Miscut #1 is when a card is otherwise a normal rectangle, but has been cut extremely OC so that a portion of the text or photo are cut off. These cards are graded by PSA with the qualifier MC.
Miscut #2 is when a card is not a rectangle. The card usually has corners that are not right angles, or may have a bulge or other excess card stock that prevents the edges from being perfectly straight. PSA does not grade these cards.
8MC on an OJ Simpson rookie is equivalent to a shadow of death having been cast over the card. OJ Simpson isn't exactly in the greatest standing with the hobby today to begin with, and if you went to sell it, you would be doing well to get $20 for it. Depending on how it looks, and especially if the miscut is on the back, and you're planning on selling that card, you'll probably be better off cracking it out of that holder first.
Grading works two ways... for high quality cards, it can increase the value, while cards that are flawed in certain areas can have their value decreased in a holder.

Its a tad worse then OC (off center) as a border is missing on the front or the back...jay
