Looking for H804 Victorian Trade Cards

[jjbond]

So I decided to try to start a collection of H804s. I'm starting with the inexpensive, more common, sets (just to see if I can maintain my interest in them). So far I've got some of the Capadura Cigars (H804-4), a bunch of Merchant's Gargling Oil (H804-7 - though now I see there's a nice full-color variant series), some Corner Clefs (H804-10), and some scattered individuals from other sets.

I also have some extras, but again, nothing exciting as I've been focusing on the cheaper end of things.

After finishing scouring ebay, now I'm wondering if anybody here has any for sale.
Thanks

I have some duplicate Baseball trade cards for sale. I’ll message you. By the way, there are six variants of each of the five Merchant’s Gargling Oil cards, so a master set is 30.

Yeah, I'm not sure I love them enough to get all of the six variant publisher sets, but I do like the stark difference between the full color set and the almost-sepia sets.

Thanks!

Hm, even *within* the variant publishers, I'm still seeing a lot of variation. For example, these two are from H807-C by "Gies & Co", yet the shading is darker on the figure on the right.


And here are two I found from H807-A, by "Clay & Richmond." Here, clearly, the one on the right doesn't have the typical "Gargling Merchant Oil" ad, and the writing on the baseball player's belt is also totally different, let alone shading differences (especially noticeable on his shoes)
