Can anyone post these two varieties so that I can tell the difference. The books don't give a clear enough difference in Vicky's bust line. Is the one variety close to the beads and the other far away or is there different combinations for each c1 and c2 variety?

    Well , you probably won't beleive this but in looking through my 20 copies of the 1884, I have one of the c1 variety in very fine which books for $275 in Charltons. Thanks for the heads up guys.
