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.

Well a big bottom border would normally show the frame of the image from the card below it...

There's no reason the card images would have been printed off center on however big of a sheet of card stock it was on which they were printed. I'd think, for the sake of the printer and for whoever was going to cut the cards, the cards would be centered on the card stock.

Hi Scott. Not to derail your thread, but the discussion of large top borders got my attention and I'd like to share some pics. I was attracted to these because of the large top borders alone. No print is evident on the top of any of them.

Tony, Hannifan is one of the ones I've seen before with a big top border and no print from the card above.

Frank - I admit, I haven't seen many (if any) with big bottom borders and no print.

Tony, I would think those cards were from the top of a sheet. Other cards with less border end up showing a name at the top of the card. Your cards almost don't even look real. I realize that we may never know the actual placement on a sheet until one shows up but its interesting to talk about the possibilities even if theres no real proof.
