Leon's friend Leighton submitted this lot to SGC after I (and possibly others) had asked him to check to see if the cards in this lot were trimmed. SGC came back saying that one was trimmed at the top(Stovey) and another(Baldwin) was too small to holder. First, I don't understand what too small to holder means. If the card is genuine it should be slabbed, if it is not it shouldn't. It is not that different in size than the other cards and would not have bounced around too much in the holder. Second, despite what SGC said, I still have my doubts about several of the cards. The Fessenden has virtually no side or bottom borders and the O'Rourke, Ryan and Radbourn cards have worrisome borders. I've seen alot of Old Judge cards over the years and these just don't look right to me. I'de be interested to hear what other experienced collectors, with a familiarity with Old Judge think.
