'childish'... childish would be those images, and the use of them. I'm done.

Frank really….shame you’ve been a real rock in this thread too. Well you know kids today what are ya gonna do?

Frank Wakefield, March 15 (post #9):

I've not seen 100% of the green Cobb cards. No one has. Not even someone who worked at American Litho, I'd think.

But I have seen a few. And I've had my eyes open and I've been paying some attention to certain old ball cards. It sure seems to me that an unusually high number of green Cobbs have that centering shift. Bunches of them... And even if I've not seen 100% of them, it's still the truth.

Frank Wakefield, today (post #54):

I've never owned a green Cobb. I have never noticed the off center tendencies with the card. This started out as an informative thread about that.

And it devolved a bit. When I saw 95% I translated that to 'a bunch', 'most', 'generally', and 'about all'. It matters not whether it's 95% dead on, or merely eighty-something percent, or what. Most of the cards are skewed so they have a short top margin. I had not noticed that. Now I know it.

So, to recap:

About a week ago it sure seemed to you Frank and you noticed "that an unusually high number of green Cobb’s have that centering shift." But today, you have never noticed the off center tendencies with the card until Ted posted this informative thread.

Credit goes to another board member for sending me this jewel…see Ted it's not that hard to be honest and give credit.
