Good to know
- Failed test prints are known: some with a blurred picture, others with a number but no name.
- A small number on the left, the star's name and the studio, for example "Kathryn Grayson", "M. G. M.", "427".
- Some names are recorded with odd spellings, for example "Walter Brenman" (463), "Steward Granger" (504), "Barbara Stanwijck" (507) and "Jonis Carter" (532). Whether the cards carry the same spellings is unclear.
