1957 Topps….size variance?
Hey all.
I was looking at a raw 1957 Topps Pee Wee Reese I bought last year, and it struck me that the borders were just the slightest amount thinner than I expected. I pulled out another ‘57 Topps, a Gil Hodges I bought direct from Battersbox, and compared them.
The width is spot on, however, the height of the Reese card looks to be slightly under a millimeter short.
Examining the Reese under a loupe, the edge cut doesn’t jump out to me as being trimmed.
Do these ‘57 Topps ever exhibit any size variance. Is less than a millimeter top to bottom within normal variance? It’s a beautiful card, otherwise.
Thank you.
