Just to start off, i generally dislike those threads pointing out cards that are trimmed. Of course, thats what im doing now! Anyway, doesn't this t206 look blatantly trimmed? Someone paid 3600 for it!

    I think T206 AB's are known for being narrow to conform to the boxes in which they were inserted. Your eyes are fine.

    American Beauty ad on the back. I should have been clearer. I'm no expert, but I guess the AB cig packs were skinnier for whatever reason.

    AB's are shorter...not sure how much shorter though.

    Great seller, maybe a t-206 expert could be more specific as to variances in size.

    I would guess it is an american beauty back as that is about the right size for a t206 with an american beauty back.

    should have clicked on the link first it is an ab back, therefore card is about the right dimensions. as previously stated cards with ab backs were cut thinner to fit into the packages of cigarettes that were no where near as wide as the other brands.

    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.
