1961 & 1962 Post Baseball think stock?

Sounds like someone skinned the paper thin glossy top layer from the thicker brown cardboard bottom layer at some point.

Would that constitute evidence of thinning ?

It took me a while, but I finally got it .

wow, well thanks for the help. Sounds like someone had time on their hands, as I have about 30 of them.

No, that would be my head.

I also don't have much evidence left of "trimming" either.

I believe Cliff is correct. I have a few (at least one?) like this. My theory is that the paper with card image on it was attached to the box cardboard during production. Over time or with help of humidity, the paper layer peeled away and became detached from the cardboard.

Does anybody have just the cardboard remaining from what was once a complete card?

I will have to look, but I think mine are from 1961 only.

I found 1961-1963, hoping I can still sell them.

Someone just told me life magazine had them. These are thin like a magazine paper.

The cards that were inserted into the April 13 1962 issue of Life magazine were made of a cardboard which is thinner than a standard card but much thicker than magazine page paper.
