You have to Bold them when the entire font is in CAPS.

Thats what it looks like... :doubt: Doesn't seem to be much but I don't think I can do anything without any of the cards in hand.

Thanks for the SCAN MATT!

Here's what I've noticed:

The cards do seem to be of fairly random people, but they have on thing in common, which gives the set its name: "The World's Greatest Victories". They all are cards of some of the greatest and most revolutionary accomplishments in the history of mankind (man walks on moon, brown v board of education, even cinderella). Just a few thoughts about that... maybe they are supposed to be put in sequential order... I don't

The tops of the backs seem to be different (where the card is numbered there either are or are not arrows pointing certain ways), although that could just be poor scans from ebay.

The bottom of the backs is different, but only because they need to put the licensing info on the cards of actual players (this is why Cinderella's card has less text at the bottom). So that is probably not part of the code.

If we could have scans of the front and back of every card all together in order, that would certainly help us figure it out.

This is excellent info, if anyone has the backs of the orange team mini cards, that
would help too.

I was looking at some Team Orange backs. Aren't all letters larger that would be capitalized in a standard text? I think it is just a different way to capitalize the text. Aren't all numbers larger, e.g. the year 1893 (see below)?

I have Team orange T05 Archibald Clinker. The larger letters are AC - WAMM7AAOH1893CH

I think all the letters have something to do with the code. Not the arrows. It Goes like -> then on the bottom like <-

Im guessing card 1 -> card 20 then turns to the bottom of card 20 then ends with bottom of card 1 <-

Also the team orange font is something i think because if you read it, It is crafted so that certain words start a sentence.

maybe the numbers are actual letters of the alphabet. the arrows might indicate how many in from the front or back of the alphabet you are suppose to go.
