Worst
Bigger cards did not survive in top condition. The corners are usually bent. This includes E101 and E102, Zeenuts, Tip Top Bread, and other issues not yet mentioned. Some of these issues have virtually no NMT cards surviving!
The T206-size cards stack pretty well and are smaller. T206's have a nice laminated finish on the fronts that has held up amazingly well for 100 years. T207's, in comparison, have a laminate glaze finish that cracks and crazes.

best and worst
Standing the test of time for condition-
Best over time- all of the game cards......WG2,3,4 etc.... worst- T216 Virginia Extra. They are almost always found in fair or worse. A nice looking fair one is actually high grade. There might be 1-2 out there but I don't think I have ever seen a vg and the vast majority are pr. ps...Rich- on T231, as far as I know, there are 2 known and a Xerox of another.

Not many Darby's Chocolates have fared well over the years.
And I agree with the ones mentioned above, too. I think that many of the ZeeNuts suffered intentional distress, kids would cut those corners down to facilitate their tossing game, but they'd do that after they'd torn or chewed the coupon off of the card. A bunch of those E cards are worn. And I'd have not thought of Tip Top Bread, but they need to be included, too. Along with many of the W's. Last edited by FrankWakefield; 02-27-2012 at 09:43 PM.

I'm thinking that there weren't that many T231's in the first place; so it's not like some disproportionate number of them have been destroyed. I don't think they were more likely to be lost to us than other cards.

I'd have to say the M116s as the best but I'll cast a vote for the T205s and the fragile borders as one of the worst.
