Their extreme scarcity makes this kind of odd, come to think of it. Usually ATC just cut differently when they wanted to shorten a card a little (T42, T206 American Beauty). That they went to this extra work of actually recropping the image for a set that must have had a tiny, tiny print run seems pointless to me. There’s only a sheet or two worth of surviving cards, this couldn’t have had a large press run or have been expected too, as Red Cross does not seem to have been a strong seller, it’s a tough back in all it’s sets (T60, the T206 clone I’m forgetting the designation of, T207 that’s even tougher than these). Weird.
