Is this ESB punch hole normal?

[tigerham]

Hi all, can anyone please tell me if this ESB 41bk punch hole is normal or not as it looks like a DIY with several attempts to scratch/cut the hole punch shape...

Also, another thing about the punch hole is the unsymmetrical half-moon cut shape...

... thank you.

I'd say it looks fine, and seems to be the same style of punch as this card:

However, it's the rest of the card that's really difficult to fake convincingly, so if that looks OK, I wouldn't worry about the punch. You've not revealed much of the card in your pictures, but from what I can see, the front looks glossy and the back matte, so I'd say it's all good

Thank you Snaketibe. That info is perfect. Really appreciate your time and help my friend.

It's fine, I'll answer to either! I do find it slightly weird at times hiding behind pseudonyms! :lol:

:lol: I know what you mean and it is weird, at times, calling people by those names.

Always good to compare punch hole to factory code. For most 41 backs there are two types per factory, that one looks like one for Unitoy. A full picture of the back of cradback will confirm.

Thank you James, hope this helps confirm...

Snakezero calling in. :lol:

Yeah iv'e noticed similar markings on a couple of my punch holes, I just assumed it was general creases around the holes from being handled over the years, or tooling marks from being punched.
