Here's my Harris--Green diamond on a red background. All the ones shown here and in the OC gallery have a "2" on the ball in the UL corner. Does that mean that they're from the second series (as on the full page shown in the first post), or is that just to make them more like a postage stamp? First-class postage at the time was 2 cents.

Gary, you said they come in different sizes. Do you have measurements? Mine matches the size shown in OC, 1-1/4 x 1-5/8.

Also. I noticed that mine doesn't say "Rinkeydink" in the cartouche at the bottom. Could this be a missing ink pass, or is it possible that some other newspaper used the images but couldn't call them Rinkeydinks?

BTW, a complete set sold in 2008 through Goodwin. http://www.goodwinandco.com/LotDetai...ventoryid=3061 Their description says that there were also 10 comic strip characters. Those must have been the first series.
