Default Shapely, form fitting cards - show us your man or machine made die-cut cards

I recently posted a 1926-29 Exhibits card (shown below) of Lou Gehrig that someone painstakingly cut around Lou's image. I thought I would showcase a few others I have that have gotten similar treatment, but you can also share some that had the die-cut design built in, or like the Batter Up cards, had their top removed for added drama.

The E121 cards below are some of my favorite, as not only were the cut around the player's image, but they also had multiple layers cut in the same way to stand out from the 1/8" thick backing they were glued upon. And on the Bancroft card they even used the team name from an E120 card to indicate a team change.
