Congrats Craig, on a great find. I too love it when we uncover something new from a hundred year old set.

As for the lines, my guess without looking, is they are printer marks.

any idea what these lines are from and how common? are they a storage artifact for some collections of the cards? not sure how to upload the photos here, but you can just pull up any of the T3's in the recent auction to see them (a dark heavy line running the length of a side about an 1/8" in off the border.

thanks,
Paul
