i feel a "hal's card justification" thread about to unfold.

for years it was thought that type 2's were possibly cut from an ad piece or even some type of packaging, as they are on a heavier gray colored stock.
almost all are hand cut and cut very tight to the borders. thus, i don't think the word trimmed would apply, having had several type 2's(including hal's), i have only seen one that was full sized.

to contradict the "ad piece" theory i have one of the most desirable cards of the entire set that is a type 2 WITH the breisch williams overprint, would seem likely they would not stamp the ad piece.

price wise the type 2's blow the book away, just move the comma over to the right.
