That's the clearest example.

Partly visible,
not there at all.

As far as I know there are only two of the first, and the other two I think are about equal.

since the stones would have had the images laid out with transfers, they represent three different press runs.

What we will probably never know is if the art was changed for Tinker only, or if they did small changes to other cards as well.

I have a card that I think might be a similar thing to the Chicago clearly visible, but it's in rough shape, and I'm not positive.

The mix of cards on a sheet changed, since we have only 12 cards that are 150 only and lots of evidence from the P150 plate scratches that the sheet was larger than 12 cards wide.
There's also the bit of packing plant log describing a packing as being for Philadelphia territory or other than Philadelphia territory
