I had a chance to re-examine the height sizing under strong light, this time without an intoxicating beverage in sight, and under the supervision of our 6lb dog Milo. Here are the official, take your winning ticket to the window results for 70 high number cards (2 more than previous, information provided in the off-chance that this would be the deciding factor on whether to place a future parley bet).
3-1/16" - 140
3-1/32" - 90, 101
3" - 81, 82 93, 94, 96, 100, 102, 104, 105, 107, 108, 113, 118, 128, 129,
130, 131, 132, 134, 135, 138, 139, 141, 143, 146, 152, 157, 158, 159,
162, 169, 184, 186, 187, 190, 191
2-31/32" - 103, 116, 117, 137, 148, 149, 150, 154, 156, 163, 164, 168,
174, 175, 176, 180, 181, 188
2-15/16" - 99, 119, 126, 127, 142, 177, 185
2-29/32" - 98, 109, 123, 160, 161
2-7/8" - 189
Perhaps this will be useful for the couple of you out there trying to figure out Batter Up sheet configurations and such. If nothing else, enjoy the fine array of numbers and the extravagant use of commas!
And for a fun, below I present a trio of Hall of Famers with different heights. In descending height order are Traynor, Dickey and Ferrell. I do especially appreciate the extra effort involved from the individual who utilized a couple of portions of a 1940 Play Ball card to 'strengthen' the back of the Ferrell. He could have just used tape, as did the person involved with monkeying around with the back of the Traynor card.
