No worries, the Tango's are a fun set to explore too.

The Oakes and Plank are cards from outside the find, Plank is a true beater. The Oakes is in good condition and has a backstamp. The Cobb known today I suspect is not the same card from the find (i.e., there would be at least 2 of them) and is in super poor condition, markedly different from the find cards. It too has a backstamp. The Plank does not have a backstamp. I am not aware of any other outside-the-find Tango's but I am not an expert in this issue and have merely gathered images when I've seen them over the years.

As far as I am aware, a Tinker and Wagner claimed in the letter to be known from before this find have never publicly surfaced. Schaefer I have never seen a picture of, the letter notes 2 of them were discovered.

There were probably originally at least 3 other cards made or intended.
