Default Are Large Bordered Baseball Cards Worth a Premium?

Posted By: CoreyRS.hanus

Putting aside the issue of increased value due to the opportunity to unscrupulously alter the card, from a purely collector's viewpoint, I've never understand why an oversized card should be more desirable than an regulation-size card. A regulation-size well-centered card means it was perfectly cut to specification. An over-sized card means it was imperfectly cut. Conceptually why should imperfection result in a greater value than perfection? Certainly with under-sized cards it does not, regardless of concerns about trimming.
