I have a beautiful 1967 Mel Queen 'incomplete stat line' variation card I sent in to be graded and it came back not graded with a "MISCUT" designation sticker. I had no clue what the heck was going on as the card is clearly not trimmed, so I did some research and found out that PSA marks some cards that way that have 'bad' factory cuts. Sure enough, when I put the card on its side on a flat surface, a tiny bit of sunlight poked through. It has the tiniest of wavy cuts on the one side, so in effect, it's actually a hair larger than it should be. Although more obvious, I'm thinking your Mantle suffers from the same problem.
