Jeff- one key point to remember about the T206 cards (and other pre-WWI issues) is that when they were produced, there was no absolutely precise machine making them all exactly the same size. I believe it seems more prevalent with the T206 because it was by far the largest set from the period.
I say that as a relative layman compared to my fellow Net54 members, but I have always understood that to be true. I'm sure that, if I am incorrect in this assertion, someone with more knowledge will step up and correct me.
Collecting in the period can be a lot of fun, but, as with anything, can have its own perils and pitfalls.
Feel free to 'lean on' the Net54 members' expertise (not confident enough to include myself in that) any time.
