Default Koester's vs. E121
I remember asking Lew Lipset years ago how one distinguished between an E121 and a Koester's Bread card. My recollection is that his answer was that there were several schools of thought at the time, none of which really held any water.

If there is no physical chracteristic that can definitively identify a card as a Koester's issue, I'm not sure any collector would want to pay a premium for it when it could just as easily be (and probably is) an E121.

Unless the player is one that does not appear in the E121 list, but has been catalogued as a Koester issue (like the one below), I don't see how there can be a premium attached to it.

It should be W575-1 not E121 as its obviously very easy to tell a E121 from a Koesters card.

On many of the cards there are some differences. Some cards show the "OF" as "Outf." on Koesters

Here is one of Rhetts cards for example

Default Koester Set
Does anyone know if a complete Koester set (in the collector album) exists?

Default Are they all "Outf."?
Are all Koester's outfielder's cards "Outf."?

That would argue for them to carry a premium.

Except for the ones that are not outfielders?
