Posted By: <b>MW</b><p>Dan --<BR><BR>What a strange method of photography!<BR><BR>Based solely on the provided image, it appears as if the top edge is freshly cut. It also appears as if the card is quite short top-to-bottom and too wide left-to-right. I would ask the seller for a standard, two dimensional image of the card -- if such a thing is possible.<BR><BR>With a more standard picture, it will certainly be easier to answer your question. Keep in mind that the card might also be a bit short and completely unaltered. But who can tell for certain at that angle?

Posted By: <b>Dan Mathewson</b><p>...the bottom looks fine, a very typical T206 bottom border. When I look at my cards of that issue, and see that bottom border with that amount of spacing around the lettering area below the picture, I see a much more substantial top edge above the picture's black border, 3x what is above the picture portion of this card. Something doesn't seem right in 206-land with this card. It isn't even fitting into the standard holder size for the T-206's like mine do.<BR><BR>I am looking at a T206 White Cap now that I have in a PSA holder. It fits pretty snug, not all that play top-to-bottom like this one has. Side to side, a little play like this card has.<BR><BR>Very unusual, but I think this one has seen an exacto knife. Even the manner in which the straight top edge comes into the slight rounding of the corners is questionable, too.<BR><BR>-dan
