W573 question

[Archive]

Posted By: Paul

I just picked up my first W573 (the strip cards that look like E120s). Mine has full borders on the top and bottom, but the side borders are narrow. I've seen pictures of uncut strips and they were always vertical strips, not horizontal strips. So I would expect most of the border problems to be with the top and bottom borders, not the side borders.

I'm wondering if W573s are simply narrower cards than E120s. Do any of you know?

By the way, the Standard Catalog says these were issued in horizontal strips, not vertical ones, and that you should expect size variation side-to-side. But like I said, I've seen uncut strips before and they were always vertical.

Thanks.
