scott brockelmanAt one time I was doing the 09 obak set both ways framed and frameless, I was near completion on both variations and finally saw no point in pursuing it, so I merged the 2. I probably handled 250-300 1909 obaks in the process(probably more) and found the population to be about 50/50. Most, but not all of the frameless appear to be handcut but well circulated, so i have no reason to believe they are anything but a legit card. I must add that i have several frameless with misaligned color runs, perhaps this was the first run and fraught with production problems. I do not believe I ever saw a framed one that appeared handcut.
Perhaps Mark Macrae can add more.
