Far more carefully-cut than many surviving examples from the "Orange Borders" issue, this example features a team photo of the 1909 Champion Pittsburgh Pirates, including Honus Wagner (HOF).  Cut well enough to justify a numerical grade from SGC (many cards receive AUTHENTIC grades due to miscuts), it remains important to note that these cards did not actually have pre-defined borders, as the orange background was simply a part of the candy box from which the card was cut.  Still, a numerical grade seems justified in this case, as corner rounding and edge wear are visible and the right border is thin, but present.
