Steve Jackson Games Forums - View Single Post - Disambiguating base cards from expansions

I've done some more sorting out:

The Hireling card basic set is a big guy carrying (among other things) a large bag marked swag, the CE version is a slender female in a maid outfit

The Loaded Die appears to be the same across all basic and expansions

The Wishing Ring: warrior with duck on shield (2), tonsured cleric in robe (2), female wizard with staff (UA), orc in loincloth (CE)

So I am going to guess that where I have the same card twice, it's the basic version, and singletons come from the expansion. (Fortunately, each expansion was mixed with a single basic set so they're relatively well split, but unfortunately, I didn't note which basic set came with which expansion.)

To also note the age of my sets: the card illustrations are not full colour - they're brown-scale.
