Caramel E122 card size
I've read that one of the differences between the E121andE122 cards is the slightly smaller size of the E122 card. When I measure my E122 cards they all measure approximately 31/4 x 2 inches with the exception of aWally Pipp that is 1/16 in.short in length. Aren't the E121"s also 31/4 x 2? Is it normal to have 1/16 in.variations on length and width of E122's? I want ot makesure that my cards are actually E122's before Isellthem.

Do you have scans? The bottom name/position/team difference between E121 and E122 is blatantly obvious.

If your concern is what set your cards include, then yes the differences are obvious. If you are concerned that your raw e122s are not genuine, then please note that Old Cardboard lists both E121 and E122 as being 3 3/16", not 3 1/4". I don't collect the sets as such and so cannot comment on whether variations in size are seen, but having a number of cards that are all outside of "spec", assuming Old Cardboard is correct, would give me concern. Then again, PSA lists the cards as being 3 1/4". Maybe the folks here who chase these can provide better insight on the size issue.

I believe the E121 Series of 80 cards tend to be slightly shorter than the E121 Series of 120, and I do not believe this is reflected in the dimension specifications in the physical guidebooks or online. Note the full border size of Leon's E121 Series of 120 Walter Johnson. I am less familiar with the E122 sizing, but it makes sense to me there can be sizing variation in all the 1920's American Caramel sets. So a blanket statement of E122 is slightly smaller than E121 cards is probably not accurate
