Sadly I was a 45 year old kid last year when I bought a nice 61 Roger Maris blank back. The card was sheet cut with huge borders that where cut very badly. I figured I would take my old guillotine paper cutter and square it up nicely. Trimmed up both sides and the bottom. Then as I was making the top cut the cutter slipped and I made a horrible cut that went down into the card. I actually felt sick to my stomach because I was in a hurry and did not put a towel down so the cutter would not slip on my marble tile topped kitchen island.

I put the card and piece of card away and when going through some stacks found it again a few weeks ago and put it together and finished squaring it up.
