Size of e121 series of 80

[Jeff Price]

I just looked at buying some e121 ser. of 80 but they measured 3 1/8 instead of the 3 1/4 as according to the scd catalogue and vintage cards. Which is correct. Thanks in advance. Jeff

In my experience E121's can have fairly large size variences. Both sizes are probably correct. It's going to be what the edges look like to tell if a card is trimmed or not. A 1/16 to an 1/8 varience doesn't alarm me too much. regards

Leon, Thanks for the info. Jeff

it would concern me if all the ones you were going to buy were the exact same size and wasnt the size listed.

if so, then i would ask other on here to measure the ones they have and get a general consenus...

Many pre-wwII issues will have sizeable height and width differences, especially caramel cards. That is the consensus.

I would have to check my collection, but memory serves me that one of the series (I believe the Series of 80) is consistently shorter than the other, but both sets are identified with the same dimensions in the SCD catalog. I imagine Rhett would have a ready answer for this question.
