T206 questions Fred Clarke....

Steve,
Okay, guess I should never say never (or always)

But, in my opinion you are referring to a printing anomaly. Yes, if a chipped blade on the cutter is present, then an anomaly could occur. But this is only an anomaly, OR something that was not intended.

I’m not referring to the multitude of anomalies present in the T206 world, instead I’m trying to educate the OP and others whom may not understand the differences between a scrap and a trimmed card.

Without your Myers card in hand, I’m not sure my opinion of it. However, I can positively say this: Card trimmers are only making that cut to try and make the card’s appearance BETTER, and hence hopefully increase its potential sales value? With this said, I would lean toward your Myer’s card Not being trimmed.

And I’m not talking about a little kid cutting the borders off a card in the 1920s, I’m referring to professional fraudsters from the 70s to present.

Anyway, the rules I layed out in my previous post will serve the masses well in determining trimmed vs. scrap.

As we’ve learned, anyone can knit pick any comment on here, take them for what you want.

See the attached Gray card. Here is another crazy cut example. The top edge and both sides sure look factory cut to me (sorry about the poor scan) However, that bottom border is not only over-sized, but slanted as hell! Haha. Yes, anomalies do occur
