I think someone wanted the Foxx and Cochrane cards to seem more sexy and svelte.

Ok, thanks... yeah, I am just getting familiar with the set so I did not realize that the Cochrane and Foxx were not just punched out but trimmed as well

That changes things a bit for me - I still like the look punched out, but I would prefer one that is punched out, as originally designed

Is there any way to see a clean punch out vs trimmed? Just by experience or benchmarking other cards punched out?

Thx for the tip -

Jeff

Here are the six color variations for the Grove card. It took me a while to find all of these. It is not always easy to see the color through a phone or computer monitor and some of the colors seem to be harder to find than others.

Without going through all of my batter-ups, I believe that all of the punch lines are horizontal through the middle of the card. I am guessing that the idea was that you could fold it over and the card would be able to stand up on its own.

Here are a Cochrane and Foxx from eBay with the fold lines labeled.

Brad is correct - all of the punch out lines are horizontal near middle of card. The additional trimming on the Foxx and Cochrane remind me of the Middy Bread cutout set.
