leonThey are made out of stock that is similar, in thickness, to modern playing cards...maybe a little thicker. The reason there are so many high grade ones is that there have been several new "decks" of them found. Complete games in new condition....There was a set on ebay a few years ago that a board member bought. They came back 8's, 9's and many 10's.....He got them slabbed, registered on PSA Registry and sold them for quite a bit in auction....These cards are the most prevelent to find in high grade of any other pre war vintage cards....and also the most affordable, relatively speaking (obviously).
