I have noticed this strange release/re-release date on cards from this set. I always thought that it may have been released two times in 1956 to coincide with Elvis's enormous popularity. FRANC

Firstly there are two #4 cards. Looking at them closely, one of them has R56-328 in the bottom rh corner obviously indicating a reissue although the film was actually released in 1956. The other cards are all carry the original 56-528 mark in the lower rh corner indicating their original release. I am wondering if a mistake was made with the original release lobby card set and that possibly two different #4 cards were printed. I am guessing that they only "reissued" one or two of the cards that had numbering errors. I have had a look at the Heritage archives to see if their sales could shed any light on this but I would appreciate it if anyone on this list actually knows what happened with these cards.
