Anyone in the Edison New Jersey Area - Can you help me?

Take 6-8 other cards and put it in the middle of them. That will let you know if the size is good. You can then turn it to look at all 4 edges and compare them to the other cards.

Then you can always do the tilt it in the sunlight/room with bad lighting trick to see if there has been any work done to the surface.

Doing all this while looking at it with a loupe and different lights is always better but should help till you get back home.

Thanks Ben
I just pulled 9 cards out of the sheet including Musial and it sure seems to measure - perhaps the three cards were graded before consigned. Otherwise I must be missing something

Update -
I took the card to my local shop yesterday and he looked it up and down, and declared it good. He thinks that it is a 5 maybe 5+ - but I wanted to get some other opinions. All we can figure is that the 3 cards that were graded in the set were already slabbed and they did not submit anything else before putting it up on option. But that tends to go against everything that they do - and if there was a star that would drive the value of the set - therefore increase their BP, why wouldn't they do it?

Also, my son calls me a potato with technology and I have tried to put in a scan but it is a pretty big scan for such a small card. Any tips and tricks to fix that would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Your scanner should have a option for you to crop the scan down to just the size of the cards.
