Full bordered m101-6s
M101-6 Mendelsohns are fairly scarce--ask anyone who collects them. I have been lucky to have seen more than a hundred or two over the years, and have not seen them with anything more than a slight stripe of a border on one edge or end, and very rarely one that has both a side and end stripe. Now on ebay is an m101-6 with three large borders and a fourth smaller, and the seller has sold two similar in the past couple days. Has anyone else seen these cards with borders?
I have no qualms with the seller, who is a board member and who shared with me that these measure more than 1/4" larger in each direction than the m101-6s I own, which would appear to account for the borders. Still, I'm wondering if others here have these bordered m101-6s in their collections.
Here are the Wingo on Ebay next to mine and the Rice that sold next to mine. I also include my Hooper, which although showing two thin striped borders, bears little resemblance to these others.
