Thank you Tim.

So it would seem 30 cards was the full 'standard' set from Automatic Supplies of Birmingham, although one or two other printers produced variants. Sweetmeats has sent hi-res scans of the set which I'll put up next week. Although the ink's purple, we think it's because the green pigment has faded.

Interesting point on the ink color fading. Green would make sense for the 'green ray' special ink. It would be interesting if anyone had cards that were still green ink. I guess I was thinking blue-purple and blue light illuminating the pen, kind of like the old copy machines that used blue UV light and terrible smell developing solution based on ammonia to duplicate from the vellum paper master. Note, I did not attempt to give the cards any type of smell like that. :lol:
