That's interesting. I had assumed these things were all printed out by the same entity in a short time span. Multiple versions certainly suggests otherwise... :scratch:

Both versions say "SOUVENIRS INC. N.Y.C." in really small print on the back.
Maybe this means they were printed by the same entity :scratch:

Geez, you were able to read that eye-test on the back? I almost went :blind: trying to read that myself. :lol: My PA TPK one doesn't have that though.

I'm sure they were made by the same company, but the multiple version part is what makes me curious as to just how long they were in production.
