Posted By: <b>Hankron</b><p>That explains all the fakes in my collection. I had thought it 1-7/16 tall by 2 5/8 wide. I had been cutting the topps off the buggers to get them to fit horizontally in the top loaders.

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>The only problem with what you are doing is that everyone is not going to see them at that size. My monitor is set at 1280 x 1024 and even though I increase my DPI size, your scan will not appear to me at the size you scan it.<BR><BR>Jay

Posted By: <b>three25hits</b><p>Didn't think about the DPI issue. I guess I will scan for my settings and let the chips fall where they may.<BR><BR><BR>Dan -- here is a close up of the top two corners. The top right is a touch round but not frayed.<BR><BR><img src="http://home.insightbb.com/~scantland/1911_Paul_Strand_top_corner_close.jpg">
