Notes: There are quite a few variations in this set. Those that I know about are listed in the checklist below and many are shown in the picture page when you click the small picture above.

These cards can be found with Series of 50 backs (presumably only half the set can be found with this back) or with Series of 100 backs. The Series of 100 backs are more commonly seen. Thanks to Gary May for providing a scan of a Series of 50 back.

Thanks to Gary May, Graham Burgess, and Richard Minns for help with this checklist.
