I've been concerned since I first responded - too atypical for me. The number "62/416" only means the 416th film released in 1962 (did I say that right?) - not anything to do with a set or edition number etc. They will all have the same number. If it said "R" in front that would be a re-release etc.

I am sorry but I must say I am honestly surprised you did not know this re 62/416 - it is...lobby cards 101. So MANY of the movie still collectors can not tell a 1960's reprint from a true 1940's still! Self education and experience handling the real items always gives you the edge.

B. Anderson stated his concerns almost immediately. As did we.

This is what I have been seeing. I made this for you B. Anderson, to show what I look at. Normally I'd show this upside down and backwards because then your eye is not fooled by common letter shapes. Do these really look the just same or whatever was said? It's just too atypical for me, and these are two letters.
