I just came across this card in my baseball collection that has a shifted print on the back. My question is how would you classify it? I can not find any other info on it.

Printing error, back misprint. Seeing as it is only the back that is shifted it is a misprinting not a miscut. Catalog it in your collection as if it were a regular copy of that particular card and move on. Maybe make a mental note to find an upgraded copy sometime.

I collect: Baseball, Football, Hockey, Mostly Vintage pre1980, My Homie teams - Washington/Baltimore Teams Senators (Twins, Rangers), Expos/Nationals, Redskins, Capitals, Bullets/Wizards - HOFers - Non-sport (mostly TV shows and movies).

My Trade List is very much a work in progress

I would think it is just a printing error or "damaged goods". I've seen a bunch of similar items in late 80s Topps baseball cards. Not usually in more recent sets. No way to know how many exist or anything like that.
