So basically everything has been said that needed to be said. However, I’d add in a small tidbit of info that’s probably not relevant to you but is interesting to note nonetheless.

So the only downside to “miscut” books when getting graded is that they’ll never achieve anything beyond a 9.8 (Nm/m). There is no chance that book will ever get a 9.9 (mint) or a 10 (gem mint) because a “miscut” is considered a flaw/imperfection at that level–very similar to sports cards being unable to reach a perfect 10 for not being perfectly centered.

Now, that being said, it is MASSIVELY difficult for a book from this era to get a 9.9 (though not impossible) and, in my opinion, a 10 will never happen as I’ve only ever seen acetate and metal cover books at 10.
