I think his photo might just be cropped off?

Yeah, they do not appear to be trimmed to me.

edited to add...I just scrolled through the ebay photos and they are definitely way short. They don't appear trimmed from the photos he posted here.

Nah, he sent me measurements and better pics when he first posted here.

Yep, they are almost an inch short looking at the ebay photos.

Gotcha. One of the photos looked cut off but if you got measurements and better pics so be it. I think I was sleeping on those.

I was the underbidder on those. I thought I'd be the only bidder, quite honestly. I had never seen AZO postcards that were that oversized before (they didn't look trimmed to me, just cropped weird).

Anyway, I identified McGraw and thought it was interesting that the and Wagner were both photographed from the same spot at the stadium (presumably on the same day).

I didn't know these postcards had been posted on Net54 last year...

Clearly trimmed. If you look at the last photo on his auction the postcard only measures 4.5" tall. It is a full inch short of a standard size postcard.

Okay, I didn't pay much attention to the measuring tape, but I see that now. Isn't the postcard back kind of odd then??? It looked oversized to me based on the back. Has anyone ever seen that before? As Leon mentioned previously, were the cards simply miscut?

I'd expect the AZO stamp box and the "Post Card" wording to be much higher on the card...
