Default Starcal Decals

I have been slowly collecting Starcal Decals (or, Star Cal Decals; or, Star*cal Decals), and really like some of the images. I have seen information about the Type 1's (4 1/8 X 6 1/8), 1 image per card, and the Type 2's (4 1/8 X 3 1/16, 2 images per card. I recently purchased the attached. The Cardinals I bought from a dealer at a local show here in St. Louis and he and I thought it might have come from an uncut sheet. Later, I bought the Cubs from a well-known dealer via eBay and he described it as an advertising display. Now that I have the Cubs, I know that the Cardinals is not from an uncut sheet. But, in looking at the back of the Cubs it looks to be the same language used on the Type 1s and 2s. And, there is nothing to suggest that it was used for advertising. I also note that these 2 "sheets" are the last 6 cards of Type 2 - 92A-C and 93A-C.

Has anyone else seen any of these sheets, or know if there is a checklist of them?

Are there any other collectors of Starcals out there? I have a number of doubles that I would not mind trading for ones I don't have yet.
