Default E107 - Type I vs. Type II

Posted By: Hal Lewis

In looking at the article in the new Old Cardboard magazine...

I see where they have the Type I Lajoie card right next to the Type II Lajoie card.

In examining them closely...

it looks like the Type II cards have thinner borders...

because the PHOTOS on the Type II cards are BIGGER than they are on the Type I's.

The font is the same... but look how much wider the Type II photo goes out past the lettering on the bottom of the card.

---------------------

The importance of this is that the Type II cards are NOT cut "thinner" than the Type I cards... they just LOOK like they are.

The dimensions of the cardboard is the same... so bigger photo means smaller borders.

This, along with the printing on the back of Type II cards, is more solid evidence in support of the Type II cards having NOT been "cut from a box."
