if anyone could scan these and get them on peter's site, that would be even better...

yea, i knew which ones you were talking about... those are the ones that are always missing and i'd like to be able to reproduce them as needed... 
if we can get them scanned, i'll figure out a way to host them if peter doesn't want to...
Quoted from leckmeck:It's nice when they have already fallen off, that way they don't interfere with cleaning. Otherwise, they get stained by the black crud produced by the metal polish. Sometimes I've had to scrape them off so I could get the metal looking new again. I think next time I'll dab some nail polish over the top to protect them.
yea, true dat... not only do they get stained, but i tend to wash them off entirely... 
i like the nail polish idea... i'm gonna try that... just plain clear polish? my wife has gotta have some of that somewhere in the million bottles of nail polish she has....

agreed on the tinted covers... they are aged just enough so that plain white card stock looks pretty close to the right color when you use one of the covers... i cut a few down for the "replay score" side, since the smaller ones i got were clear...
Quoted from leckmeck:The cards maintained by Inkochnito on his site use Futura for Gottlieb's score and instruction cards. To my eyes, this label looks like it might be using Futura Bold. The soft edges are the result of the ink spreading into the fiber of the paper stock.

i messed with one of peter's gottlieb cards (royal guard, in this case) for hours on end trying to get the font/spacing just right, to no avail... however, i am not real good at that type of thing... so it is possible that i just wasn't hitting the right combination... i really wish we could, because i can live with the color of the paper being a bit off (although we should be able to figure out rgb coordinates for the background color), but the font/spacing being off sticks in my craw for some reason...
there's gotta be a way to take a "known good scan" and lift the character set... 
i just don't know enough about image processing to know how to do it...
