I tried several different searches on REA's website and nothing came up.

According to my notes, in REA's 1995 auction, a complete set of eight H812s were sold. All were trimmed. I don't have my catalog at hand as I'm away from home at school. Maybe someone else can confirm that this is correct.

Lot 776 of REA's 1995 auction was indeed a group of eight H812. The lot included: Ewing, Ward, Keefe, Welch, Richardson, Gillespie, Deasly, and O'Rourke. All were trimmed down to the portrait and shoulders only. The lot realized $4144.

Wow, you guys are amazing to remember that auction lot from 14 years ago!

Ward, Keefe, and Gillespie are not listed in the SCBC or elsewhere that I've seen, so we now have 3 additional verified cards in this set!

Dorgan, Estebrook, and Gerhardt are on the SCBC H812 checklist but are not yet verified with a photo.

If someone can post a scan of the H812 cards from that 1995 auction catalog please do so.
