Those are real nice cards. I have never seen some of those. 

I have a couple drawn cards like yours and a few photo cards.  I try to get photo cards that closely match phones in my collection.  I will scan some in the next few days and post them here.

Russ, these all look like 20-Bs and 20-Ss, which looks like most of my collection.  I am going to get the three I am missing, they turn up on eBay fairly frequently, with the fire engine being the most difficult to obtain.  I am going to hold out for blank unused ones like these.

The one with the fire engine is the most difficult to obtain because there are a lot of people that collect fire dept. collectibles & fire fighting memorabilia items.
