Default Is this Ex ?

Posted By: 823dek

not close , even in old school. The fact is that the card looks like it has top beveling...uh something that cannot be done w/ fingers.

A point that Ive made before on severely rounded corners that get graded 10's or 20's, they at some point had to be stop sign trimmed and eventually frayed to the shape of the cut. Cards cannot round quite as bad as 10 or 20's that Ive seen just being handled.

Cards in my era were rubberbanded- before that bicycle spoked and from what Ive heard from some that tobbaco cards era cards were throw against the wall ...sorta boomeranged type of game that those did( supposedly)...could not have rounded that horribly regardless of how many times it could be thrown. Paper just doesn't dissapear on its own...uh ,maybe it shrivels like our skin as we get older ...ha !
