Todd (nolemmings) I recently bought what appears to be Al Lopez' rookie card, a 1930 Baguer Chocolate.

I'm a type collector and had no experience with this issue. Here's the problem. The e-bay listing ties it to the SCD catalogue (even scans in the SCD description). SCD Catalogue clearly states the cards ar 1 5/8" x 1 7/8". The Lopez and another common I bought are not---- they are tiny, 5/8" x 13/16". When they arrived, I reviewed seller's description, and he does say they are smaller than an inch (I did not read that carefully), but again, the SCD description he provides has them at more than twice that size.
Needless to say, the smaller version is less attractive, and I am disappointed. Does anyone on the board have experience with this issue to tell me its true size?
