I like the 1911 Zeenut cards, and might like 1912 even slightly little more due to the no border design. Here is an example of a 1911 on the left and 1912 on right, with fun stuff on the backs.
The 1911 Kane has one of my all time favorite card scribbling, and something we all might consider adding to our cards. "Do not steal this card for fear the gallows will be your end", which is accompanied by a drawing of a gallows and an obviously criminal stick figure hanging from it.
Also included is a very ominous stamp of a hand perhaps directing its accusatory finger at the name (at a later time scratched over, perhaps the thief's name?) of a likely suspected perpetrator if the card was indeed stolen.
