Well what I didn't manage to say very well up there is that what if 10 or 15 cards that we think of as relatively common were actually printed from 2 separate sets of lithographic stones or plates? The cards are very, very similar, so much so that we've not noticed. And then the 'other' cards from each set of stones are only on one or the other, not both, making them less plentiful.
It would be neat to get several hundred of each of the subjects, spread them out on a table with some good light, and us gathered around... then we could bunch them different ways and see what's there.
