Just picked this one up along with other Diamond Stars. I normally deal in post 50's cards so please help me out. Is this the variation? Also, the card is a tad shorter but is wider than my other Diamond Stars. Do you guys think this card is trimmed? Any help would be appreciated..

Thanks,

Paul

That is the variation. No comment on the top edge.

Thanks Matt, The card is alot wider but a tad short. Do these cards come in various sizes? I'd bet the odds of the original owner cutting it are 1 in 10000 but you never know. The collection included 34 Goudey, Diamond Stars, Sport Kings, and 39 and 40 Play Ball. Most of the cards are fair to poor but a few are EX.

What are the dimensions of your card?

If you search on this site, you will find a thread about size variations of the 1933 Goudey cards in one guys collection. He did detailed measurements of his cards (in millimeters as I recall). There was quite a bit of variation with the 1933 Goudeys. I know there are variations in the sizes of the cards in my Diamond Stars set.

I would say that the card is NOT trimmed. there are size differences in the diamond star cards.
