Xmen 266 - this look like a 7.5 to anyone else? 0

Grader notes are miscut and crease upper left back cover

I agree there is a slight miscut but wtf? 7.5?

Also, can't find the crease on the back cover that's being referred to.

It's really hard to tell once slabbed but a few more hi Res close ups may help. Not sure why a miscut would count against the grade. Maybe its been noted but hasn't harmed the grade? Even so, 7.5 on the face of it, does seem harsh.

Bends and creases are super hard to see in slabs. I’ve gotten that note many times myself, sometimes after ordering a press which totally confuses me since that’s what a press is supposed to address. Miscuts count against grade in cards but I thought CGC didn’t penalize production errors with comics so I’m at a loss there

The miswrap is just a note. Not all notes indicate grade impacts, not all defects are noted. It is what it is. A miswrap/miscut depending on severity can grade between 9.0-9.8. The rule of thumb in the book is ¼" is the allowable white overhang before it grading in the lower range really kicks in. This one is diagonal, I have a 9.2 with a similar note, albeit on the label b/c it is a 1st gen slab. My LCS has a Qualified 9.8 for a miswrap/miscut on display. It's so off square it's comical. They slabbed it for the novelty.
