Default Card Sizes

Posted By: Julie

dimensions in the Standard Catalogue (and elsewhere)--I think what he wanted is provided by the poster with the link: a list of actual measurements which he personally finds acceptable (no trimming) within a given set.

I know the Standatd Catalogue provides size for the Old Judge set, and also that mine are all over the map. I imagine the older the card (also, the less sophisticated) the more variation there is.

It's interesting that someone mentioned in one of the strip card threads that he prefers the old, badly-cut originals to the neatly trimmed ones that have been showing up more and more since condition and grading became such a huge factor (even though the neat ones will grade--up to a point [a card with no border, I would think, would be rejected for a number grade]}.
