Default T205 Borders - Color Variance

Posted By: Russ Bright

found the lot... Strange description... I CAN say that a couple of the ones that I have with the "green borders" have that same overall hourglass shape (the sides seem to bow inward and the corners seem extra rounded) The Young and Sweeney are very obviously that shape in the picture...

IMHO it seems that they ARE more well worn, Still may be handcut but...

I don't think any T205 collector would willingly pay a premium for these, they look dingy - the "green border" really detracts from the overall attractiveness of these cards.

If there was concrete evidence that they were printer's scraps or from an uncut sheet maybe, but there isn't proof...

Some nice cards though even if they ARE Poor, I'd still get them for my Low grade collection...
