Never used to fully appreciate just how difficult 'candy box cards' can be. When you can find them with clean cut edges, they sure are cool looking cards.

I have a few cards that I'm pretty sure fall into the "Candy Box cards" category and other cards that I'm just not sure about. Here's one that I'm not sure about the origins on, my e95 esque Ty Cobb. If you look close you can see slivers of red cardboard on the borders which tells us at least what color the box (or whatever this was cut off of) was.
