I have always appreciated that some folks don't appreciate the round shape. I consider them equal to other, more rectangular cards...they came in a round tin along with the product, are cardboard, and have advertising on the back to boot, like most good 1910 era cards do. My thought is no worries about my eye demanding sharp corners on these critters. However, throughout my collecting over the years, they have always been considered a step below other cards to many collectors.
But just like their squared off relatives, centering can be an issue...beware of imitations!
