Starting up another Orange Border thread! The E-unc handcut cards this time....

Here's my one Baseball Bats:

I'm not a collector of the set, just of the players I collect. But I do love this set.

What's sort of funny is the orange bordered set may be the only set I've seen so far where SGC just totally ignores the measurements on the card. Unless there's a variation of the card that I haven't seen yet that doesn't have the borders at all. That Chase above for instance, got a 30 even without the borders. A few of mine got numerical grades as well even with wavy or otherwise obviously trimmed borders.

But that's the joke of the grading of this set -- they're all trimmed!

Here's an old pic of the box I once found online, but I can't remember where I got it. Lipset's Encyclopedia (Vol. 2) mentions the text on the top, bottom, and sides of the box. One of these four panels mentions the P.R. Warren Co., which is also identified on the back of the E125's (Possibly the printer or designer, as the E125's and orange borders are similar in style?
Anyone have any ideas?) Maybe someone will recognize this auction and still have the catalog, and be able to post more info or a better pic. Hope this helps!

Hal, that's great stuff. I can't believe we've never seen those two boxes -- or any others -- again.
