E221 Bishop & Co. very fragile because of the folds. Thankfully member Craig Martin was able to make a custom holder for the card so I can sleep at night.

I was hoping you would post this one, Phil. That card is awesome!

I have five W514 strip cards. I think they would crumble if you breathe on them. To me, they look like they are printed on what they call pulp; next thing up perhaps from newspaper. Of the five, these two are by far in the best shape. Oh so fragile though.

Mr. Baker is in the best condition of all my 1915 CJs. All the others have become brittle with, what, paper loss? I hesitate to call it card stock. Incredibly fragile, and the Cracker Jack residue just adds to it, I think. These too must be handled very, very carefully or they will crumble.

Sí, sí. I had read about "paper thin" vintage cards, but didn't have any until I picked up this sheet of Caramelo Deportivo cards.

Cool, but definitely the most fragile in my collection.

These are likely my most fragile examples.

The T215 Red Cross Purtell Jersey City is a one of one graded example from PSA and SGC combined.

The E98 Chase was part of Lionel Carter's collecting, so I'll be keeping that one even after I upgrade it for my near set.

Thanks for the heads up Paul. I will try to avoid picking up any additional examples in the future.

E221's are on heavy paper stock... (always looking for more I don't have)

I feel like these cards are fragile with age. It's like the cardboard dried out and the edges seem to chip and crack easily, making high grade examples hard to find.
