Is this Lion's Eye Diamond with very off center back considerer miscut?

Hi everyone, my lions eye diamond is centered well and in decent condition on the front. However the rear of the card is very off center to the point of being miscut. The whitening on the right is also not damage from play, but related to whatever happened during the cutting of the sheets.

Looking for any guidance on whether cards like this fetch a premium or if this would reduce value.

I started playing commander in 2014. During the period of 2014-2018 I acquired one of each reserved list staple with the exception of tropical Island and plateau.

Despite often purchasing MP and HP condition, the value of the collection has risen significant in the last few years. The value of workshop, candelabra, cradle, mox/lions eye diamond, etc in particular.

This was never intended to be a significant investment so Im stuck with a bit of a dilemma. I legitimately like owning the cards as a sense of completeness for my decks by not requiring proxies. But shuffling and playing with fragile cardboard worth thousands also doesn't seem reasonable.

Im considering selling cards worth $500+ and trying to keep a few decks as optimized as possible (from a lands perspective isn't really an issue these days). I don't particularly need the money, but would likely put it into an all equities fund or possibly towards a Grand Seiko a bit further down the road.

Has anyone else found themselves in a similar situation and if so, what was your criteria for selling vs holding?
