Rick McQuillanDeb, Thanks for the info. I have been wracking my little brain trying to remember where I came across this info and you hit the nail on the head, so now I can go back to Scot's book for the reference.
There must be hundreds of Nicholls and Krause cards around the hobby and it seems strange that another sample of these oddities hasn't surfaced. What happened to the original cards that KO came across? Did he purchase them? If not, then someone purchased them from from these dealers and the cards are sitting in someone's collection. Maybe they are aware of the variations or maybe the owners just think that they have regular old Nicholls and Krause cards.
Thanks again,
Rick
P.S. After rereading Scot's post, it may be that both of these cards are in KO's collection, or they may have been in his collection at one time.
