It has long been stated that the Type 2's are tougher than Type 1's and they usually listed with a premium in the guides over Type 1's. I however do not believe this to be true. I probably see slightly more Type 2's than 1's, but they are probably about equal.

Also, an important point to be made in regard to this set is that the Type 1's are on a thin paper stock and are often found pretty beat up. Type 2's are pretty hearty (thick stock) cards and are usually found in better shape. Invariably, if one sees a highly graded Neilson's it is gonna be a Type 2.

Personally I like the Type 1's better as they are numberred, on whiter paper stock, and have the much more ornate back printing of the words "Neilson's," and are tougher to find in presentable condition.
