DIRTY DOZEN AND MORE
Hugh Jones said he coined the phrase "Dirty Dozen" for the rare
War New Pictures 109-120s.

So what would you call other group tuffies ?
Could 13 be called "Dirty Baker's Dozen"
What about 14 ?
==============
TOUGH SERIES - - - UNCLE SAM MIDDIES AND HIGHS

We know the Uncle Sam Home Defense series is tough as heck.
So are certain series, such as Sky Birds, Believe It Or Not, Sea Raiders,
etc, et, etc.
==============
COMBINE THE ABOVE

And you come up what could easily be coined as the
MOST RARE group of NS cards

Let me tease you with the 1st ( of 14 )

well, the color card I displayed is real, taken from The Gallery's Uncle Sam set.
==========================
I'm not sure if I'd call the white paper card a "card" or not. It was taken
from a Gum Inc "proof sheet" which had 14 cards. All 14 "paper cards"
relate to an Uncle Sam Home Defense card.

I'll have a web page ready soon...hopefully it will show
all the images necessary to be informative......

How about we call them the "FILTHY FOURTEEN!!!"

Great stuff Dan. As you know I'm collecting the USHD High Nos. Still need seven (The Sleezy Seven) cards to finish my set.

Excellent work Dan, it's always nice to see where Gum Inc got their images. As for names, how about for the BION high numbers we call them Dan's Demonic Double Dozen?
