Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>Some time back I noticed I had some duplicate Colgans chips. And then I noticed that the images were identical, but that the image on one card was quite larger than the other. Here are the two.<br /><br />Anyone else notice image size variations?<br /><br />I suspect that all images vary a bit. I suspect that as the cards were produced, someone moved an enlarger in or out, varying the size of the resulting image. Notice that the size of the type varies too. The backs are identical "violet chips and Mint chips" E254 backs.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j106/greatwake/Colganschipsvariations.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Tom Boblitt</b><p>up the road here in Louisville, I have the same two Selby's you do. In addition, I have one other player that has the big head/small head variation (also a Louisville player). Larry Fritsch or Mark Macrae might be able to elaborate on this some. (I think the other guy is Hughes, Louisville).
