  1. The image used for Harry Jones is the same as Pinnace #95 'J Armstrong' (H Jones #94 in this series is a different person) - One of them is incorrect - looks like Comic Life from other team pictures I have.

    1. Hi Bryan,
      Thanks for pointing out the error. I've got good scans of all three of those cards so I'll ad a new post in a day or two.
