The UZIT Herzog is "short" (top to bottom) by 1/16th of an inch. I was surprised when SGC gave it a numerical grade. I asked them about this and the grader,
who examined it, said that he saw "no evidence of trimming". This card just happens to be one of those T206's that were factory cut short. He also noted for
comparison, that the EPDG Herzog is "long" by 1/16th of an inch.

In any event, I'm OK with the grades they gave these two cards.

Thanx John

It's a really fun time to be there when all the HOFer's (and ballplayers that are not in the HOF) are available. Most are very friendly to talk with.
I've had some great conversations with these guys since the early 1980's when I started going there on HOF weekend.

Every year the Show is a lot of fun and I've acquired some great "walk-ins" over the years.

Unfortunately, all the great vintage BB card stores in town have closed down. And, some of the better dining places have gone out of business.


Take care,

using a giant paper cutter, it is not totally uncommon for the dial to be tough to get exactly to a specific size. at least back in the day when there weren't laser precision measurements. it was a hand dial. that is the point of the crop marks. typically they are used as the cut lines. if you make one cut on the crops, the move things around and use a different top card to make the second cut...things can start going awry.

also, depending on the cutter, the back where the paper meets it and "jogs" all of the pages together for the cut can have some minor inconsistencies as well, especially if you start pushing as many pages through the cutter as you can realistically fit.

in addition to that, the hydraulic hammer which comes down can often times shift the top few sheets ever so slightly as it is applying pressure. there are micro amounts of air in between the pages that basically make them float on top of each other if the person was just working with them before cutting them. this would probably be less apparent or less of a factor in a thicker stock such as a card but when you start getting into thinner stuff such as a 40lb paper it can make a difference.


summing all of that up a 1/16 of an inch is not that much

Great cards!

Was up at Cooperstown a few weeks ago and enjoyed some good food at Alex and Ika Restaraunt. Also, Ommegang brewery has some tasty beverages if you feel like driving a few miles out of town.

Enjoy the show.

Ted
Do you have contact info for the promoter of the show? Is there ever an opening for a new vendor?
Thanks

The showroom is very small and there are only 20 dealers.....and, a waiting list. Anyhow, I will contact Don and see if there is vacant spot
due to a last minute cancellation.

I should know by tomorrow and I will contact you.
