I have a question for anyone who has this deck in their collection with an original leaflet.  The leaflet that came with my deck is mismatched on 7 cards and I'm trying to determine if it's a leaflet from another deck or perhaps a printing error. My deck has a box and leaflet both with "copyright 1907, 1909 and 1911" Here are the cards in question:

Any help would be appreciated!

The answer is likely that the deck was popular and there were many different printings - it is common on subsequent printings of souvenir decks to change a few pix. They probably didn't change the leaflets until they ran out of printed stock.

Thanks Tom, you're probably right.  I'd sure like to see if someone actually has a deck matched to that leaflet.  I've scoured my California decks and Bob Heubel scoured his, and neither of us have a match, S15 or otherwise!

Based on what Tom's said, you'd probably need to find a first printing to be assured of having a deck that matches completely.  If you ever do, let us know!

One more thing - they didn't actually change any views, just the number order within the suits.  If you look at the table they're misaligned by one card.  That's what makes me consider it might be an error.
