Default The Uncatalogued Bridwell Card in Heritage 2010

Now that this auction is over, I'd like to ask what you guys think of this "uncatalogued" E-card. Do you think it was cut from a box of candy like Heritage suggests? Assuming this was true, was the candy box related to an issue that we know of? I mean, if the candy box was advertising ball players on it, you would think that cards also came with the candy, so what was that issue? Your thoughts please on this interesting card.

Circa 1909 E-Uncatalogued Al Bridwell SGC Authentic One of the great pleasures of collecting is finding the unknown. The offered card of New York Giants infielder Al Bridwell was unknown until now. His inclusion puts the window for this series in the 1908-1911 era. What exactly this series is continues to be a mystery but the thicker card stock suggests this series was found on the panel of a box of candy. The offered rarity has creasing and obvious corner and surface wear but after a century is the only one confirmed to exist. The SGC Authentic designation is due to the irregular hand-cut outer border. The card has not been altered in any manner, a fact confirmed in the SGC label. A type card collectors dream.
