Edited: Okay, thanks. I just checked ebay and most of them looked okay. It might just be a coincidence that there was a period recently where they all appeared short.

at 5'10" he was probably considered tall for his time...

There might be a small group of George Browne cards that are smaller but not all of them. I've noticed that some George Mullin with bat cards are oversized left to right. Finding more of other cards with the same size differences might give us an idea of card placement on a sheet. At least down to sharing the same strip on the sheet.

Good point. I've seen a lot of Krause/pitching with extra at the top border, so my guess was that his card was at the top of the sheet. I guess 'short' would indicate bottom?

I see no reason to infer that the border at the top of the the card sheet would have been large and the border at the bottom small... Seems to me that margin borders would have a chance of being larger, and I guess smaller, too. Point is that the big margin could just as well be at the bottom.

I guess that because a big top border would normally show the bottom print from the card above it.

The sheet should have had a good margin all around. Probably about 3/4-7/8 of an inch most of which would have been trimmed off.

so not only is a wide top or bottom margin possible, but extra wide side margins too. I think someone showed a SC with the factory number at the side of the back.
