Starting up another Orange Border thread! The E-unc handcut cards this time....

Thought someone might want to see this Bill Donovan that's not listed in SCD.

Magee is also not listed in the SCD.

I believe the Donovan with the orange borders is actually considered an orange bordered Baseball Bats because it includes a team name.

Hey, thanks for showing both the Donovan and Magee cards!

The Donovan is a 1911 Baseball Bats card but that's perfectly fine since we've been discussing those in this set too. Baseball Bats have three distinct variations which Leon shows off very nicely in the second post in this thread. One variation has orange borders with a reddish background.

As for the Magee, I'm not sure. If you look close in the upper right corner and lower left corner, you can see that the border is dark and rounded. The orange borders have a thin WHITE border directly inside the orange border and the corners are always cut to right angles. There's also no hint of orange anywhere on it.

I know the Harry Niles that Ben Fisher has also has the rounded corners. I know the board was split down the middle on whether or not that card was an orange border or not. Maybe the Magee falls into the same catagory as the Niles?

I suppose I should thank you for pointing out that my Orange Borders Donovan is actually a Baseball Bats - thus opening another difficult and expensive-to-fill hole in my type collection. Ignorance was so blissful.

Really... thanks for setting me straight!

Rick,
I do have an extra Pirates Team Card w/ Wagner that I could part with. This would be a VERY affordable example of an Orange Border. Let me know if you might have interest and I can get you a scan.
