George Close Candy ( e94) Question
 

Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>I recently picked up an e94 card of Joe Lake. After inspection I noticed that the edges of the card do not appear straight but more ruff or they appear 'hand cut'. I've noticed other e94 cards that were graded with similar edges.<br /><br />Is this normal for e94 cards or is this card just trimmed?<br /><br />How were these candy cards were originally manufactured? Were they 'hand cut' from sheets?<br /><br />Any help would be appreciated!<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Bob<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee219/sportsfever1/CIMG0824_edited-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee219/sportsfever1/CIMG0825_edited-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a>

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I am not aware of any legit handcut e94's. Yours looks to be trimmed. As far as I know all E94's should have fairly straight edges. I have handled at least several hundred....though I only have 10-11 as I am a type card collector....Hope this helps....best regards

Posted By: <b>Peter Calderon</b><p>Hi Bob,<br /><br />The card you picured is has definitly been hand cut, BUT... unless you've done something to the color of your scan or my monitor is playing tricks with me.. I never seen an E94 with that color ink on the back. Matter of fact for years E94s were called "grey backs" because the backs are printed in a distinct grey ink. What color is the ink on the back of that card? The front looks like a standard E94 but the back could be a unique find. Show us more!<br /><br />Peter

Posted By: <b>Peter Calderon</b><p>Okay, false alarm. That's what the backs look like. Too bad, that would have been a very cool find.

Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>Bob- I posted on this board for members to be on the look out for trimmed E94s and E96s which a seller had on a few weeks ago. Yours was one of those cards, that's why the prices were low. Sorry you didn't see my post. I ended BINing one of the E96s which was very sharp but trimmed, with the intention of putting it in an SGC authentic holder. You might consider doing the same.<br />tbob
