T206 trim question?

[brianp-beme]

Nothing looks out of line on the T206 Eddie Collins in your link. The corners are rounded and somewhat uneven, but it looks well within the normal size range. And the card is nice looking for the grade...sometimes rounded corners are the economical choice.

Dunno, the corner wear is WEIRD, and while there is certainly a range of acceptable sizes on T206 the total size of the top and bottom border combined and the fact that it's loose would at least concern me.

Have to admit it would be nice to see close up scans of the borders/corners...I am going cross-eyed trying to see what is going on.

Just about ready to head out for work but I'll scan them when I get home. Thanks so far for the analysis guys!

Worn corners with the apparent lack of normal fraying is a concern.

It's been in an album at one time, the corners are similar to ones seen exposed to moisture and the stock gets a bit more soft, chipping away rather than wearing.

Interesting, thanks....Not sure I have seen that happen the way it looks, legitimately. Kind of like the wavy, natural borders on T201s we spoke about a while back.
