Tony, I would think those cards were from the top of a sheet. Other cards with less border end up showing a name at the top of the card. Your cards almost don't even look real. I realize that we may never know the actual placement on a sheet until one shows up but its interesting to talk about the possibilities even if theres no real proof.

Ron - take a look at the posts on the previous page.

Also, there are board members who have shown an interest in figuring out card placement. I haven't noticed them discussing placement based on wide borders but I'm sure it's crossed their minds.

Not my card.*

Ok Chris, you win for largest top border lol even though its not your card. Figured i'd post a picture of my George Mullin that I was talking about earlier. It's so wide left to right that it didn't fit in the standard T206 PSA holder.

Crawford batting is another card that can be found fat left to right. I just sold a few extras via the 54 BST it seems most of them have already found there way to eBay it along with Crawford below.

All shapes and sizes can be found on these cards along with all sorts of color differences...

Cheers,

Steve - would it have made sense for images to ever be moved around on the sheets? The Dougherty's John posted make me wonder.

Hey Scott,

From the 25 known double names we have seen a few examples of different top/bottom/back combinations. From the limited examples it appears that the same player is always below or always on top.

Here are a few from my "Large Border" collection:

Be well Brian

Any sheet would have had multiples of the same card, And we know some were directly over each other. So if a card was the second card from the left in the top row it would almost certainly have had a duplicate that was second from left in the second row.

If different stones were laid out then yes, they could have easily setup the sheet differently each time. So Dougherty could have been in the second row of one sheet, but some other row on a different sheet. (And the cards could have been laid out in blocks rather than strips, making side to side pairs possible. I'm pretty sure all the side to side miscuts I've seen are different players.)

What's interesting to me is seeing the different cards together. The three Doughertys all have slight differences, aside from color. All the ones from the top row even without a wide border should have the same carachteristics which differ from other positions. In this case the top border card has nothing I can spot that can't be caused by inking or registration. The left card has a bit of a gap in the top border, maybe from the alignment mark on the stone being erased too much. The right one has what looks like one of the alignment marks in an odd spot about 1/8th of the way in from the top left.
Both the left and right cards have fatter letters than the center card.
So maybe the left and right ones are from the same plate (Or the same state of plate, wear could widen the letters) While the one with the wide border might be from a different plate. I would bet that they're from different series, either one 150 and two 350s or the other way around.
