fkw In David Rudd's "The Illustrated History of Baseball Cards Vol.1" on page 109, it shows a picture of 15 of the cutout N321 cards, and says they are printed on thin paper stock. The cards in this picture have some of the same characteristics of the cards on eBay with the corners missing, uneven borders, etc. The reason I think these 2 groups of cards (Rudd's book, eBay) are both cards cut from posters is because some of the vintage posters/albums had a design that overlaped some of the cards slightly in the corners, thus explaining why some of the cards have corners that are cut off (ie. the Mullee on eBay). This is just a guess, but I have seen it in some of the tobacco premium albums (N28, N29) where that cards slightly overlaped and when cut out would not have complete borders/corners. Does anyone have a picture of SF Hess N321 poster? Do the card pictures on poster overlap at all?
to Leon, or anyone elso who owns a N321,
Are the N321 cards normally printed on a thick stock like the N284 Buchners or N172 OJs?? Or is the stock normally thinner?
