It's entirely possible he didn't find the exact cards, but he knew they were strip cards, so that kind of cuts down the search a lot. There aren't that many strip cards and they are all in one section with a sample picture you can use as a guide. Not remembering the commons, there may have been one in the set that isn't in others and he was able to find it by process of elimination.

It took him five minutes like I said, so it wasn't like he opened the book to a page and said ah ha like it was in a movie script to cut down on time.
