Frank-- I have done the 51 Red and Blue back sets and there is nothing wrong in collecting them with rounded corners, but your's look chewed upon and that is not such a great thing.

I agree. They are not tasty.:D

Blue back..........

As Rube can attest, sometimes, "round" corners don't even make the Bitch List...

Was this one of those "T" cards back in the day that could be used for entry into the stadium (like into the Polo Grounds)? Or something along those lines? "T" cards with hole punches like these have always intrigued me. I think they are kinda cool if the hole punches are from the era when they card was produced :-)
