Default T206 Oversized Bender

Recently, I had my Bender graded. After looking at it, and then looking at many of my other t206 cards, I realized this card is much bigger. Does this make the card more rare? I just think it is quite unique, and also deserves the grade that it possesses.

That's all good! I wasn't expecting it to anyways, just wanted to know. I bought the card for like $70 raw, and I basically doubled the value you could say. Thank you for the information

I've never heard a good explanation as to why some T206s, such as Bender/no trees, are 'taller' more often than the average T206. Top sheet would make sense, except the images are arranged by column (every card in a column would be the Bender), so all images should have equal advantage of having top sheet cards. I don't get it.

Very interesting...these are the mysteries that we may never know. I find it awesome though that we all can come up with our own explanations, but we may never know who is actually correct. Thanks for sharing.

I apologize to wazoo in advance, but most of my oversized benders have resulted in a hangover and the loss of at least $70.

Sorry, couldn't resist the set up.

Don't, please - that would mean I would have to apologize for my oversized Johnson.
