    1. Hi Brian,
      Thank you for your e-mail and the scans. We completed the checklist for this collection a few years ago, you can see it here -

      I think I confuse things by adding new posts as new information becomes available. It seems the only cards to have the brand printed at the top are the ones that don't feature in the R. & J. Hill set.
      Take care and stay safe,
      Alan
