Default R308

There are 2 different size R308s. The regular and then the ones that are much larger. (approx. 2 x 3 1/2, but check me on that size) Until a few years ago it was thought that only Foxx (as shown) was known in larger size. Then a board member showed a Martin of the larger size (see link). Ths Gomez is probably one of the larger ones and it might have been trimmed. It has been said to exist but I am not sure I have seen one. It looks like His portrait is much larger than one that would be on a smaller size card. At least that is the way it looks to me from the scan. I have seen 2-3 large Foxx's in over 15 yrs and only 1 Martin. And I just checked Old Cardboard which does mention the larger sized ones...
