Default Are Large Bordered Baseball Cards Worth a Premium?

Posted By: leon

"... I've never understand why an oversized card should be more desirable than an regulation-size card."

I am sure you have certain attributes you look for in antiquities you buy. I look for large borders as they are more pleasing to me. I am not always able to get cards with those larger borders but when I see a card I want with them I will pay a little more. Maybe it has to do, subconsciously, with the fact there are many small bordered, high grade cards in the hobby that have been "played" with. Big borders are sort of a safeguard (not foolproof but the bigger the better)so I value them more. For the record I do have cards with small borders too (as most do). regards
