Hi Adam
So you are telling me that if this strip is cut the cards won't have borders? They might not have dotted lines but they will definitely have borders. And no, to me, the qualifier is NOT silly, it's imperative. If not then you have people that don't know a strip from a Stassberg (sp?) thinking they were manufactured the same way, with the 100 yrs old strip cards potentially getting very high grades WITHOUT it being known they were handcut, after the fact, which is very silly indeed. We all know about strip cards but the shiny collectors might not. regards
