Notes: There are some variations in this set. In the text on the backs, there is an offer for an album, which provides a mailing address on India Street in San Diego, California. For the first 48 cards in the set, it looks like each card can be found with the address listed as either 1635 or 2317 India Street. For some reason, it looks like cards 49-63 can only be found with the address as 2317 India Street.
For some of the cards, the name on the fronts of the cards can be found repositioned either slightly or sometimes very obviously.
Many of the cards list a recent movie title for the star at the top of the card back. For at least three of the cards (card #6, 16, 30), each of those cards can be found with or without a film title on the back. For each of these three variations, one of the two cards has the 1635 India Street and one has the 2317 India Street on the back, though 16 and 30 have 1635 on the version with the movie title, while 6 has 2317 India Street on the version with the movie title.
Card #15 of Julia Adams can be found with the picture two ways - with Julia facing left or with the same picture reversed with her facing right. The signature on both of these cards is correct and not reversed. Both of these variations can be found with 1635 India Street on the back.
It is likely that there are other variations as well.
