E Card Sizes
 

Posted By: <b>Mike Mattison</b><p>I have two E101 cards one graded (SGC), one raw. The graded card measures 1/16" short top to bottom. The raw card measures 1/16" short left to right. I've looked the raw card over and it doesn't appear trimmed.<br /><br />Is it common that the E card sizes vary from card to card, and from what is considered the "standard" size?<br /><br />I haven't handled enough of them to know.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Mike

E Card Sizes
 

Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>Having examined E93s quite closely in this respect, I can tell you that unaltered copies definately vary in size. I have often wondered what accounts for this. It is hard to imagine that they were produced in small enough numbers that sheets would have been cut by individuals with a paper cutter, but I suppose that is possible. One argument against this is the regularity of "miscuts". For example, in the E93 set the Mathewson card is regularly seen off-centered left to right by a margin of about 80/20. If cards were cut by individuals with a paper cutter, it would be difficult to explain these sorts of repeated irregularities. Others may have more insights.<br />JimB
