Default Thickness
I work in a Machine shop. I brought a raw one in once and measured it. 6 thousandths of an inch. A piece of notebook paper is roughly 3.

If you hold a 1914 up to the light you can read the other side they are so thin. 1915 are thicker but by no means are they sturdy stock. The ink is also very fragile on both years.

Only on net54 does a guy rhetorically ask about the thickness of a card, and someone (who of course works in a machine shop) immediately responds with "6 thousands of an inch." I love this board.

I was going to say 7 thousandths.....Yes, our board has a diverse membership and is well educated for a lot of technical questions.

And when a nice group of '14s comes up at auction, such as the one prior to the current LTG auction, there is a feeding frenzy that would embarrass hungry sharks.

I respectfully disagree about preferring the stains. The LOTG auction (mentioned earlier - hi John) had amazing, virtually stain-free CJ's. These are tremendous examples, well worn around the edges, but with great surfaces. To me, they trump stained ones any day.

To me...I much prefer vintage cards that show age. I had a chance to handle a raw T206 that would easily grade a 7 or 8. It just looked wrong.

My Goudeys, T206, and CJ must have rounded corners or I'm not a buyer, particularly with the price they'd get.
