And sometimes you find one that has a big bottom you like even if it has wrinkles......

I even like the wide ones too.....but usually you don't realize it until they are in your house......

Unfortunately your buddies who you trust (well sometimes) will tell you they are only Fair or Good.

But so what if they aren't Hall of Fame material. It's the dirty ones that make me smile......because they're cheap to take home.

When it comes to this hobby, what can I say? I get around....

Hopefully others will appreciate them when I have to let them go because they don't interest me any more.

Great cards. I have been noticing a few big bordered cards lately and might have to dive in... A lot of collectors love the big borders, me included.....

I like T206s with big borders as well.

One of the two cards below is an American Beauty.

Either of those are big bordered, where AB is concerned.

[mrvster]

I used to own the huge bordered Hoffman on ebay right now:)

I agree Leon

Most members here I'm sure know the Lennox is the AB, but when I bought that card it was raw in a stack of Piedmonts & Sweet Caps. I didn't realize it was and American Beauty until I turned the stack over and started looking at the backs.
