T207 Question

[Archive]

Posted By: Patrick McMenemy

I have noticed more than once seeing T207s with borders lacking the normal silver edge.

Is this a production error?

Are these more likely fakes or reproductions?




Normal Silver Edge




Lacking Silver Edge

I'm sure one of the resident experts can answer this one.


Thanks in advance,

Patrick- My answer would be no and no. Certain cards in the series have that silver border although no one I know has any idea why. Both the white or tan borders and the silver borders were made with Recruit backs (commons) and I don't have a good answer why this happened but you see both borders frequently although the silver borders appear on fewer players' cards.

Thanks for the response Tbob:

Are individual players found with both borders? Or is it a case of a particular card is always found with the tan border, whereas, others are always found with the silver.

Thanks again,

Patrick

I am going from memory here but it seems to me like I have seen players with both colors of borders. I seem to remember I owned Strunk, for example, with both colors of borders and ditto for Schulte. I don't remember ever seeing a silver border on the Broadleaf, Anonymous or Red Cycles, just Recruits, but I could be mistaken.
