Default The Mysterious Bulge of E.T. Cox
Do any of you have another card with this type of printing flaw (bowed border on one side)? The scan is accurate, so that isn't the issue. It just looks like the sheet slipped out of place and then back into place just as that section was being printed. Is there a more likely explanation I'm not thinking of? Anyone else have another copy of the card?

That's right. It's time to compare your E.T. Cox.

I'm pretty sure that ET would have said "Go Big, or Go Home". I may be getting things confused. If I were to put a finger on it, perhaps there would be a light on the tip.

But seriously, have never seen that before. I think the border of my Cox is as straight as an arrow.

My Cox has been rejected as being cut too short. It is wide enough but way under tolerance for length.

Was it at least snipped straight? Or does it look like it was done by a preschooler with safety scissors?

Nevermind. I do have a Cox.



I must say that I like the Coxs (Coxii?) in this thread far better.

Cox envy.

If your Dr circumcised you w/ pinking shears, you now know the meaning of "frilly dilly"!

Hey, is all this talking about Cox a ploy to get more female traffic to the board?
