Default Are Large Bordered Baseball Cards Worth a Premium?

Posted By: barrysloate

I think we had this discussion a while ago, but it's worth revisiting.

I was glancing at Leon's E135 Cobb and my first reaction was "look at the huge borders on that card." There are many ways a card can be described to stress its best points, and large borders should be an integral part of it. Rare stamps with huge borders are worth an enormous premium, and baseball cards should be no different.

When I write up auction lots and have a card with giant borders, I always make sure to mention it. And I can't imagine a single collector who wouldn't enjoy a big card over a narrow one, and by a wide margin (pun intended).
