Todd,

The stamps were certainly done after the cards were cut, but probably prior to them either being inserted into whatever the packaging may have been or if they were handed out by the vendor. The reason I think this is that several that were part of an old time collection show spots of paper loss or remnants over the stamp, so the stamp was their prior. I am not sure what connection Breisch-Willams actually had with the stamps. Also notice it is "Breisch, Williams" on the stamp. I guess it's possible the cards were redeemed and then somehow made their way back out to the public, but I doubt it.

The Type 2's are all now believed to have been cut off of some type of box or display. The stock is different, a more porous gray and not clay coated front. Normally they are cut very narrow, although one or two are oversize. Several also have stock wrinkles. And..many of the type 2's have product staining, while mysteriously none of the normal E107's have signs of product like E96 or 1914 Cracker Jacks???

Here is the Delahanty Type 2 from Lew's book(I own the card as well).
