Having read Dan McKee's posts, I have to retract what I posted above.

I've not held a Broadleaf 460. I've seen a Broadleaf card, but I don't recall it being thinner than regular white border tobacco cards. I can envision that a Broadleaf 460 could be thinner than the regular cards, similar to the thinner American Beauty cards. (Although I'd think all Broadleaf white border cards would measure the same, would there be a size differential among the various series?)

It is my impression that Dan knows a right smart about old cards, and if Dan says his Broadleaf 460s have all been thinner than normal cards and that that is how they are, then I'm inclined to believe him.

Maybe we need all Broadleaf 460s out there scanned with a ruler behind them so we can ascertain width.
