Default Quick...call the quackopractor!

E220 cards are a great set to collect for the budget conscious, as they feature great photos, some not seen in other sets, but are also usually found horribly miscut, which helps keep their cost down as they would not appeal to the 'centered' crowd. About the only other vintage issue that I think has as many cutting issues is the 1941 Goudey set. I have a theory that maybe E220's were issued in strip form, or perhaps a boatload of sheets were cut down by the scissorly challenged...how else could there be so many chiropractic calamities?

Here are a few fun misfitcuts. The Groh is a great card in my eye, as it has portions of three cards evident, but also because of the great pose that showcases Heinie's bottle bat. I have several cards that are just as funhouse fun, but you out there with an eye for the misaligned and deranged will just have to settle for these at the time being.
