Ted, I appreciate the discussion. It may be surprising to some that the A36 album (based on N162s) was available in 1889 and on this point we agree . . . the album could be redeemed in 1889. I am however quite certain that the N162 cards and A36 album debuted in 1888. The only unknown to me is whether the N162 cards, like the album, were also issued in 1889. We may never know for sure but I keep looking for clues.
