Paul, did you bust Jesse free? I have a Ross Youngs Koester that I bought at the same time as the Burkett. I sent them to PSA after purchasing them on ebay. I never held a raw E121 so I couldn't tell if there was a difference. BTW, SGC would not holder either card as Koester Bread even though I provided documentation from the sale, seller info, etc. PSA accepted it. Dan

Dan, I did bust Jesse free. And, Rhett, it is handcut which is consistent with your theory.

The thick stock Kelly I had was handcut with a unique wavy chopped top border.

PS I dug out 2 pics I had,
I believe Rhett you are right, the ad (left) shows and tells about single (machine cut) cards issued with bread, then you have the sheets too (right).
