Very nice set! Mine sure is a bit rougher. If you ever happen to go through the backs, I'd be much obliged if you could confirm a Green Text Honest Long Cut in either of your sets of any of these gentlemen: Coulon, Jeanette, Harry Lewis, Loughrey, Neil, O’Toole, Jack Sullivan, West and Wolgast.

Looks like I have a Loughrey, Neil and Sullivan green back.

Bought a lot of 30 some odd cards (I should stop buying lots of sets I like but have most of the cards already, but I'm an addicted junkie) and breaking it up have found 4 of the 5 remaining blacks I needed. Puts me at 49/50, only Jack Johnson (of course!) to go.

As I mentioned in the Tolstoi thread, the Red Crosses are a different size. I'd never noticed this, but now that I have a couple in hand, the difference is obvious. You can see the image is cropped differently, with the left side cut off. Presumable this is why the backs don't have the standard frame arrangement all the others do.

Here's Frankie Conley with all 4 of his cards, HLC Black, HLC Green (note the striking difference, it's as legit a different back as Hindu Brown and Hindu Red), Miners Extra, and Red Cross on the far right. Look at Conley's right hand in relation to the border; it's not just cutting that makes them smaller, but re-cropping of the image.

I've never seen anyone mention this before, or found a reference in any of the small amount of material publicly available on them. I can't be the first to notice this...

I'll be honest, I don't think I've ever had any of the Red Cross backs. Very cool.
