I just sent my Burkett and Youngs Koester Bread cards to SGC today. I asked the seller how he knew the Young was really a Koester Bread card. Here was his response:
The Youngs card is printed on cardboard, like the Burkett as they were cut from the Koester's Ad sheet. (Probably in 1921!!)
No W575 or E121 types come on cardboard, all are on paper!

I've read 5 years of N54 threads regarding W575 and Koester cards. I don't remember anyone else mentioning the "cardboard" argument. I examined them when I received them today, they were on cardboard (thick, definitely not just paper).
Does this make sense to the experts out there?
Thanks.
