Submission Status?

Had my first ever submission come up online today when I checked the status and one of the cards said this...

N8: MISCUT 1964 TOPPS 342 WILLIE STARGELL

Sorry for the dumb question but does this mean 8(MC) qualifier? or does it mean they didn't holder the card?

It means they didn't slab the card. I had 2 of those on a recent sub.

[N8: means that it was not holdered , have had a few cards come back that way , they will give you a voucher for for 1 free grading.
If the card is oversized (not much) or diamondcut, I would wait about 6 months and resubmit and cross your fingers and see if it gets put holdered. Hope this helps.

Here is the list of why cards don't get into a slab:
# N-1 Evidence of Trimming - When a card’s edge has been altered, a card doctor may use scissors, scalpel, cutter, or any other cutting instrument. A trimmed card may show one of the following: Hook up or down, have one razor sharp edge, a difference in toning along the edge, a wavy look.
# N-2 Evidence of Restoration - When a card’s paper stock is built up - for example, when ripped corners are built up to look like new corners.
# N-3 Evidence of Recoloration - Where a card’s color has been artificially improved.
# N-4 Questionable Authenticity - This is the term used when a card is counterfeit.
# N-5 Altered Stock - This term is used when the paper stock is altered in one or more of the following ways: Stretching and trimming, recoloring and restoring, trimming and recoloring, restoring an trimming, crease or wrinkle is pressed out, or gloss is enhanced.
# N-6 Minimum Size Requirement - When a card is significantly undersized according to factory specifications. You will be given a voucher good for another submission for the same type of service.
# N-7 Evidence of Cleaning - When a whitener is used to whiten borders or a solution is used to remove wax, candy, gum or tobacco stains.
# N-8 Miscut - This term is used when the factory cut is an abnormal cut. The grading fees are returned. You will be given a voucher good for another submission for the same type of service.
# N-9 Don't Grade - When we do not grade an issue. The cards may be oversized or an obscure issue. The grading fees are refunded. You will be given a voucher good for another submission for the same type of service.
# N-0 Authentic Only - This means that PSA is only certifying that the item is genuine, without a numerical grade. This may be due to the existence of an alteration, one with malice or otherwise, a major defect or the original submitter may have requested that PSA encapsulate the card without a grade. The "Authentic" label means that the item, in opinion, is real but nothing more.
