I have seen both 4 3/4" and 4 5/8 listed. Have several that measure 4 5/8 that look good to me.
Which is correct?
Thanks.

I would think the 4 3/4.... The bigger the better.

I just measured a batch of them, and all of mine are 4-21/32".
For the fraction challenged, 4-21/32" is 1/32" bigger than 4-5/8" and 3/32" shorter than 4-3/4".
And before you axe, they are all 2-15/32" tall.

Should be same size as 1969 and 1970 basketball cards
“1970 Topps set consists of 175 cards, each 2-1/2” by 4-11/16”

Alright - so far, we have 4 answers to the question...and all are different.
Appreciate the input very much, but given the lack of consensus, would be interested to hear from others.

All of mine (6 or 7 total) are graded and all of them measure out to possibly the tiniest bit (microscopically) past the 4 5/8 inches mark on my ruler. None of them fall short of that mark and I would unhesitantly (is that truly a word?) call them measured 4 5/8 inches. There is no way in bloody heck that they would ever be called 4 3/4.

Yep, 1/32" past the 4-5/8" mark. Nowhere near the 4-3/4" mark. The reason the guide (for the '69-70 basketball) calls them 2-1/2" by 4-11/16" is that 1/32" of an inch is WAY too picky for a price guide. They'll round to the nearest 1/16".
