Glen VThe SCD catalog suggests the Breisch Williams could have been cut from a poster or advertising piece. The few I've seen have been hand cut, which would support the cutout idea. Does anyone have more information on these? Also, why the high price on these? They are extremely rare, but if they are cutouts, most people shy away from them, or run. A recent post on the subject: "If period player pictures cut from a notebook cover can be catalogued then why can't player photos cut from a Spalding baseball guide also be catalogued?" There are probably less Allen & Ginters or Buchners that are cut from posters than the real cards, but those issues sell for less than their counterparts. Not that they aren't collectible or that I wouldn't want one, just I don't understand the prices that the type 2 Breisch's are going for. Any estimates on the number of type 2's out there?
