LymanGil: thanks for your suggestion. We do plan to index all Old Cardboard articles sometime next year. With Issue #14 coming in January, it is hard (even for us) to keep track of which articles are in which issues. Just about all articles are now referenced on the appropriate Set Profile page on the website.
Leon: Adams detailed article on 1925-31 "Postcard Back" Exhibits is in Issue #12. Be aware that there are some Exhibits with postcard backs that are part of other sets (and that some of the 1925-31 "Postcard-Back" Exhibits have blank backs). Because you were trying to identify your card as from either the 1925 or 1926 series (different sets), Adams article may not have been too relevant.
As a aid to help identify a card set to which a particular card belongs, we have provided "Type Card Galleries" accessible from the Old Cardboard home page. For example, if you are trying to ID a certain Exhibit card, just go to the "W (Exhibits) Gallery" on the Type Card Galleries page at http://www.oldcardboard.com/ref/galleries.asp. An example of virtually all Exhibit sets is provided for identification. From there, you can also select the image for any set example and you will be linked to the Set Profile page for that set.
Similar identification galleries are provided for most all card groups in the ACC (N, D, E, M, R, T, etc.) as well as postcards, game cards and for the various Wheaties and Zee-Nuts sets).
Hope this helps,
Lyman
