How about having some fun with vintage Miscuts and Offcuts. Show us your best of the worst..........

BobbyVCP · November 7, 2009 1:59AM

How did they even get those in the wax packs, some of the worst I have ever seen.

macboube · November 7, 2009 2:01AM

From cello packs, not wax.........they are real and they are pack fresh. Very valuable in my mind.

Not sure if this is "vintage", but...

miscut Gwynn RC

Wow, that's a nice looking parrallellagram. May not be vintage, but definitely miscut.

I cannot believe that Gwynn Rookie MC !!!!! Wow. $15.00 for a BIN, what a bargain. I am guessing the same Topps manager of quality control in the cutting dept. was on still board in 1983, just as he was when he was "interning" in 1955 with my AA's.

He must have been hung over and seeing double the day he cut this sheet:

Holy Crap some of those are bad! It's really cool that some of you guys have the adjacent cards and can see the whole deal. +1 for the parallelogram cards too, and the Broncos Georgeo Goddeske should have come with 3D specs
It's cool on a common, but kind to hard to see on the star power cards

Thanks for sharing this stuff

I actually really like bad miscuts as well. That 1972 Mets rookies card is a thing of beauty. Seeing 2 cards in a miscut is cool, but parts of 3 cards on one card is downright amazing.

I've only got a couple to show. No longer own the Aaron RC:

Lothar52 · November 7, 2009 1:44PM

pretty crazy aaron...its still considered "good" though haha...a psa 2 should be called "roughed up a bit"

I see the same Topps QC Mgr. worked on many sets in the 50's, 60's, mostly the 70's and into the 80's. All very cool.

nearmint · November 8, 2009 10:03AM

Wow, I've never seen so many in one place! Barfvader and Elemenopeo, do you collect them, or do you just save the scans?

Here's the worst one I have lying around--no comparison to the ones above.

I collect them. A search of my posts would show a large portion of what I have (Many have been gifts from the great CU board members).

My current list shows that I have

3 Autographed Miscuts
535 Miscut on front and or back (including some non sports/Charlie's Angels and Moonraker)
139 Bad cuts (extreme diamond cuts/pieces of cards straight from the pack/etc)
19 Wrongbacks
28 Blank backs
29 Missing foil/to much ink/massive creasing and damage caused by the machines at the factory

Thanks for posting them--they're pretty entertaining. Fun thread!

Steve Carlton on he front along with a piece of another:

And instead of Steve Carlton on the back it is Michael Corkins on the back with a total of 4 different cards showing:

At least this Mickey is the white back version.

An old thread, but a good one.

I found this in a recent purchase of raw cards. Alternating rows on 1969 Topps football sheets were inverted so the solid color could continue from one card to the next.

NickM · May 23, 2011 6:11AM

I just picked up these on eBay.

Has anyone ever seen a badly miscut 1952 Mantle?

NickM · May 23, 2011 10:13AM

How bad counts as bad? I've seen both T-B and S-S miscuts on that card, but neither was a WTF miscut; both just had a border line of another card showing by the edge.
