Simulated T206 sheets....check them out....plus, new find of 350/460 series DRUM card

[atx840]

Clayton, there are a few examples that show really fat top borders.....I believe the Young and Stahl are likely close to what the top border would look like. I also think the bottom border may be different width then the top as when the upside down backs are found they appear to be almost always miscut. This could be caused by the sheet being flipped and not aligned properly with the front.

Got to study this one in person, likely off of a sheet where other front miscuts are from. We would get one fat top border, several front miscuts of same player and one miscut of two players per column.

Thanks Chris!

Nice card. What you say makes sense. My thinking was along the lines of a printer leaving a decent area of border, and trimming off the excess after the sheet was printed-leaving room for error (alignment). Like, that there would be additional space above where the top border is cut off, before being cut to size.

My first real job, as a kid, was building gazebo panels. All of the lattice was always longer than was needed. After laying the wood down and stapling it in place, we would cut off the the excess around the edges before sending it to be sprayed (waterproofed). We never used a piece of wood that measured exactly right, and as a kid I didn't understand why-but as I got older, I realized it was done this way to leave room for error. I know this has nothing to do with printing sheets of cards, but my thoughts were along these lines.

Thanks for the response-

Sincerely, Clayton
