Great run Brian, Abner would be proud!

You managed to piece together all his long numbered "type B" cards which is an accomplishment. I especially like your duplicate of B-0232-B in which the OJ Cigs advert is positioned differently. I see you refer to the variation as B-0232-C but they are both B-0232-B. (type B have the script print at bottom with "OLD JUDGE Cigarettes" in photo area, there are no type C cards).

Of the variations you still need the Type A leading zero cards should surface first. The lone Fa (1888 re-issue), Es (Gypsy Queen), and G (Cabinet) will likely keep you searching for a while (years). Actually you marked the "G" in blue, do you have the cabinet?

Good luck in your continued search, keep us posted on progress, especially when something new (uncatalogued) surfaces
