Bender miscut question

[rdwyer]

It being the correct size, I assumed it would have names at top and bottom. Never seen one before that had name at the bottom only chopped off. Anyway thanks for the help. I like freaky stuff.

I drew an arrow showing the comma at top, and put a red line going down the card. As you can see the comma at top lines up with the comma at bottom. Or does it? If this card was at the top of the sheet, why is there a comma only at the top? If it wasn't at the top of the sheet, then why no name at top & bottom?

I agree that there is a comma and part of the name at the top. I think the bottom of this card might be trimmed, it looks like it is a little concave, which would mean that there was more of the name at the bottom than there currently is.

Card measures perfectly. Also, under high magnification I can't see any other letters at top.

I underlined where I see the bottom of the letters right before the comma. The scan is a little grainy but they are there. Also, T206 have a lot of variation in their size, so this one could have been bigger than standard size and then trimmed/worn down a bit from that. It can also be tough to get a precise measurement on a card with a diamond cut so that muddies the waters a bit too.

Yep, you're right. I thought those marks were stains. Now if only someone would tell me, it Honus Wagner's name at the top.

Here's the back...

Wouldn't that be fun? I have long dream of finding a card with a misregistration that had part of Wagner on it.

The name and team on your Bender looks tighter to the border than
average and the one above it on that sheet would be the same so this
card would have to be oversized to have the name at the top.

The comma dips below the name/team on T206 cards...
