Thanks for your info. The article doesn't cover things like the Risidos, presidential heads, etc. (and yes, the presidential heads used the same photos as on these cards). Those are separately cataloged sets. Specifically, I looked at the different types of N48 Virginia Brights and Dixie cards.

The five types within N48 that I came up with include:

- Type with position captions (Both Dixie/VB)
- Type with borders and numbers (Both Dixie/VB)
- Type without borders and numbers (Both Dixie/VB)
- Type with captions on bottom with same design as N508 Sub Rosa (Only Dixie)
- Type with polka dot uniforms (Only VB)

While Jefferson Burdick mentioned only two types, he lumped #1-3 above all as one type while cataloging Type 4 as N508 (which it still should be but has been moved to N48 for whatever reason). His two types were polka dot and non-polka dot uniforms, which is really an oversimplification since there's a lot of variance between the types.

My specific questions are if anyone had any additional information related to the N48 types that might be helpful (other variations seen, other checklisting info, etc.). Should anything else related to N48 come to you after reading the article, please let me know. Thanks -

FOUR or FIVE seems a bit generous and perhaps you are mixing apples and oranges but who knows. Companies were purchasing time staggered photo shoots, second printings, licensing, and changing stock can all be factors. No time to look at your link just this second but I will. What specifically are your questions? As an aside - I think the "presidential heads" are superimposed onto these women as companies utilized anything and everything in their "stock". I believe there was an actual Black Stocking Nine team as there was a contract found? Perhaps they were their "cigarette rollers" although I would think if that were the case - Ginter would have plastered their name all over it instead of just on the mounts of their cabinet and store cards. Lots of questions and little time. I moved on from these more than 18 years ago so bit out of the mindset. I have but a single type and two cabinet photos left in my collection.

no guarantees whether written or implied.
