Zach RiceI was browsing through auction catalogs a little bit ago and this thread sparked something I had read so I decided to go dig them out again. In REA's 1995 auction, a complete set of H812s were sold. All cards were trimmed and had remnants of being glued to something on their backs. Rob Lifson mentions, in the set's description, that the group of 8 represents all known cards from the set, including the only examples of card number 5 and 8. This leads me to believe that he had knowledge of existing examples of the other six cards in the set besides the ones being offered in auction. That means that cards number 1,2,3,4,6, and 7 all have at least two known. Two of those cards could be the Welch and another non-trimmed example mentioned above. If that was the case, and the auction's description was correct, then there are at least 14 existing examples floating around out there.
