Imagine how difficult it would be to handle credit cards with sharp corners.

Ticket collectors would have a difficult time finding this one with sharp corners.



And of course autographed ball collectors are indifferent to the issue of sharp corners.

Frank, is that an original APBA set of Yankees from 1956?

That last "cheesy" picture may not have sharp corners, but there may be a couple of additional, hidden points worth exploring.

I was going to ask same question. I played that game as a kid. Spent countless hours.

Frank-- I have done the 51 Red and Blue back sets and there is nothing wrong in collecting them with rounded corners, but your's look chewed upon and that is not such a great thing.

Was this one of those "T" cards back in the day that could be used for entry into the stadium (like into the Polo Grounds)? Or something along those lines? "T" cards with hole punches like these have always intrigued me. I think they are kinda cool if the hole punches are from the era when they card was produced :-)
