I just bought a T212(175) and from vcp I see that the card size should be 1 1/2 x 2 5/8. How accurately were these cut? The reason I'm asking is mine is 1 7/16 x 2 5/8. What are the chances it has been trimmed? How strict is SGC and PSA on the dimensions?
Thanks for the help!

a scan is necessary to tell...there is likely an acceptable tolerance/variance with sizes of most vintage cards.

That's what I was thinking, the top left corner doesn't look anything like the top right.
Thanks for your opinion.

I was just looking in "Standard Catalog of Vintage Baseball Cards" and in their description it states "Obaks are the standard tobacco card size, about 1 1/2 x 2 5/8.

I don't know if it's just the scan, but the top border looks pretty fresh.
Top border is rolled over as it should be, a back scan would be of more help. I am leaning towards a-ok.

Your wish ........
That crease across the back, how much will that lower the grade?
I'm thinking that the left border of the reverse is very wide, maybe that edge hasn't been trimmed.

+1 Looks good to me as well.

Maybe I'll take a chance and have it graded.

me too...I think the curve is just the card itself ....
and it's only going to grade a 1-2 because of the creasing, so not sure about getting it graded to increase value (if that is the thought). I would probably not get it graded if it were me...
