Were vintage cards typically varying in size by these slight degrees?
If you can even measure something to 1/64 God bless you. There is a fair amount of variability on 65s in my experience building that set. 1/64 would not bother me.

Is it possible that the 1941 Playball is a "paper" card and that's just the way the edge was cut?

Reagarding the Spahn Bowman cards.... wow - that is absolutely ridiculous... my only guess is that the submitter must have been a "Preferred PSA" submitter/customer....

Default Spahn
is terrible, looks to be an early grade from serial number. And some of you guys were talking about how good Baker was yesterday? I see a lot of junk in the early serial numbers. Just like many of the Merkle SGC graded cards are not up to the standards of the company after Dave bought it.

My father in law bought me a tremendous tape measure with 64 notches! It is awesome and causes even greater paranoia in this neurotic guy.. Thanks, Peter!
