Compared to other American Beauty backs? The packs were thinner than normal T206 cigarette packs, so the cards were also cut narrower. You only have a single post, so I don't know how familiar you are with the set.

Page 13: "Manufacturing tolerances make exacting specification of a “standard” size for a T206
card difficult. A typical size is roughly 1 7/16” x 2 5/8”. T206 specimens exhibiting the American Beauty reverse are an exception. They were cut thinner to enable them to fit within narrower American Beauty cigarette packs."
