  1. Just for future reference, a miswrap and a miscut are very different in how they down rank a comic book. Miscuts are essentially errors in the way a comic was printed and therefore is more likely to further reduce the value of a comic. Miswraps are solely faulty or inefficient jobs in wrapping a sleeve around a comic.
  2. A “miscut” is a defect caused by the trimming process, where the cover or pages are not cut perfectly square. When a book is cut or “trimmed” it goes through two separate stages of cuts. The first cut trims the right edge (side opposite of the spine), and the second stage cuts the top and bottom edge (both are trimmed simultaneously). The miscut comes as a result of the first cut on the right edge. Whatever movement the book made due to being cut from the first blade is most likely the amount of miscut that is seen from the miscut of the top and bottom edges. This movement is what gives the misalignment for the final cuts.
  3. I had a gem mint (10.0) of that exact printing and it got ranked down to 9.6 when my individual_without_enough_empathy cousin slightly unwrapped it.
