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.
