H812s?
Thanks guys for all the comments and info. Barry, do you have a scan of the image the REA showed for their 1995 auction? If so, would be able to post it? It seems there was some variability on where the players name appears under the portrait, with the Deasley being at an angle off to the side and Welch well below the portrait. The lettering seemed odd on the bottom to me too. I am not sure how the advertising on the bottom of the cards was determined, but it appears the Welch and Deasley had different advertisements on the bottom, so it is possible that the shoulder lettering on Keefe and Connor is somehow part of the advertisement on the card? I know this would be unlikely given the off to the side positioning of the letters, but I guess I can't say its impossible. A cut up advertising piece or a trimmed composite piece used to advertise for the card set also seems like a possibility.
