E93 vs t206 Card Sizes...

[RCFire82]

OQuick question. Picked up this E93 Plank as a fill-in for my t206 binder set. I didn't realize the E93's are slight larger than t206's. Before cracking out of it's case...does anyone have experience fitting E93 cards into t206 (20ct) pages?
Thank you,

e93's can be dramatically bigger than t206...you may have to use 9 pocket sheets.

No direct experience with E93 fitting into binder pages, but I did end up with some E93 cards that were in a Lew Lipset auction around 20 years ago that were consigned by a well known old time collector that trimmed the tops and/or bottom of the cards, because in their original state they were too tall to fit into the pages.

Talk about a different era of collecting!

Thanks gents. I decided to just go for it. Not perfect...but I think it works well until a better option comes around 👍

In the past, we'd see Ecards trimmed at the top somewhat regularly. People would trim them to fit the pages.

Zero qualms with purchasing and having trimmed cards as part of my set...but intentionally trimming to fit the size of pages, that's a bit too extreme in my opinion.

Here is my E93 Tinker that has a trimmed bottom that came from that old Old Judge auction I mentioned earlier. You might consider trimming that Plank in a similar fashion, though I would shave off its top border.

Just saying it was done. Lots of things are done that I don't think are good.

Yeah Steve. As I gave it some more thought, I guess I do understand the idea of trimming cards to fit pages. As a collector, one may not mind diminishing value for the sake of viewing pleasure of their set/collection. I essentially do the same thing every time I crack a graded t206 for my binder...
