2005 BC oversized?

I just received a 2005 Bowman Chrome Auto card and it will not fit into one of my magnetic cases. The card is too big!!! Should I be worried?

Depends on how big. Cards commonly have variations in size off the 2.5x3.5 standard. Open a box of wax, stand them all on end, and there's bound to be 1 or 2 sticking out higher than the rest, or shorter than the rest. A millimeter or so is typical, more than that unusual but not unheard of.

I recently received a Griffey rookie that would not fit in a one-touch. The plus side is the card probably isn't trimmed. If it is in nice shape then a BGS case may be the way to go.

Miscuts are bound to happen, as the previous posters mentioned.

It's not often one is really bad, but they do slip out unfortunately
