The premium cards originally listed in the American Card Catalog as R314 are known to generations of collectors as "Wide Pens" because of the distinctive, thick style of cursive printing used for the facsimile autographs. Current thinking is that the issue is actually comprised of several distinct types issued over the course of at least two years and sharing a basic 3-1/4" x 5-1/2" black-and-white unnumbered format. Type 1 cards have bordered photos with "LITHO IN U.S.A." in the bottom border. Type 2 cards have borders, but no "LITHO IN U.S.A." line. Some Type 2 photos also share their photos with Type 1, but have a different projection (size). Type 3 cards are borderless and some also share their photos with Type 1, but have a different projection (size).
