Hi,

I was reading an article in the SGC Collectors Magazine. The author said that t205's and t206's have a "roll" on their borders. What does that mean? It is in the back of the spring 2007 issue.

sometimes, if you leave these cards out long enough, a Kaiser Roll will grow on them...

kidding of course.

i believe dave forman wrote that article, and he is discussing what to look for on the edges of a trimmed card. from what i understand, the edges of a trimmed card have a lip or rough edge, where as an unaltered card has a "roll" on the edges, from the original factory cut.

maybe someone else (the grand wizard) can elaborate.

"some folks calls it a Kaiser Roll, some folks calls it a Slingblade."
