Well, truth be told, I think a case could already be made for a "Type 3". Has nothing to do with the overprints really, but I firmly believe that certain Type 2s are made of a completely different material. Many are the thicker, greyish toned cardboard stock that we're used to seeing. Gives me the impression they were cut off a box lid or something like that. But I had a Delehanty and one other Type 2 which was white and smooth as a cueball on the back and was a thinner stock, as though it came off of an advertising poster of some sort where maybe a nicer paper/cardboard material was used.
