The cards all originated from a family who almost threw them out but had a relative who had some connection to Sotheby's- I think he may have been a photographer or something- and he brought them in to show them to see if they had any value. Is it possible a layer of the back was peeled off? You can tell type II's from the typeface, too, as I'm sure you know, but that one has borders too wide and erratic to be a type I. Now that I look at it it is curious.
