BTW, when a cards border is like that it's called a "tilt" because the sheet was tilted when it was cut. A card that is "miscut" would have very little border on one or more sides and in some cases would even show part of another card from the sheet that it was cut from.
I doubt that little mark on the back would effect the grade much. I'd say that card would grade 3-4.
I was looking at similar cards on eBay. I realize that PSA is a different company than Beckett, but I looked at this and was like, my centering/tilt is better than this card and it got rated Mint?

Would love to hear some feedback from somebody that does grading at Beckett to see how they handle tilt compared to other companies.
