Because of war-time paper shortages, this issue was printed on substandard card stock. Due to initial poor impressions, the die was recut to improve the design, resulting in this Die II variety. Soon after the die recut was made, proper card stock was obtained, so the Die II on this substandard stock was used only for a short period of time. Most were supplied to printers for application of printed addresses. Only six unused cards are believed to exist (USPCC cat. $11,000.00) (A comparable card was last sold in the Scarsdale Collection sale in 2013 for $18,500)
