Haha, I am just trying to help you get nice, centered examples without any color loss
If I showed you what had been done to improve some of the cards in my collection--not by me as I don't alter cards--you'd laugh. A previous owner kindly cut the center circle out of the 59 Topps to get rid of the pesky, and likely off-center borders. Another owner add a few additional notations/reminders that Mantle was on the Yankees. A couple of owners added a little bit of writing to personalize their cards. Finally, a couple added some great pin holes to make it easier to display these beauties.
