Those are exactly the kind of subtle variations that interested me when I
started the page. I would appreciate pictures of any such print variations
(including font, size, or color of print).

The vintage (before 1976) printed bricks are what originally inspired my
page. I want to keep the focus on vintage printed bricks. If there is a
vintage pre-1976 printed part (tile, slope or otherwise) that goes with the
bricks, I will gladly add it to the picture collection. Most printed tiles &
slopes I've seen are 1977 or later. They are already fairly well covered by
LDraw, Peeron, and Bricklink.
> And does anyone know of a comprehensive gallery of printed torsos & heads?
I keep a minifig, torso & head visual helper page hooked to the Bricklink
catalog. It is nowhere near comprehensive, but it is more complete than most
I've seen.
http://home.att.net/~clarkcorner/VisualMiniHelper.html
Any variations not there can be submitted to the Blink catalog (or sent to
me & I'll submit them.)
Here's the best minifig guide I've seen (not my site):
http://www.minimundo.de/
if you don't read german, click on the British flag in the upper right for
the english version of the site. Then click on the minifig tab. If you like
the site drop the webmaster a line. When I emailed him, he replied that I
was the first english language email he had recieved! It's surprising that
such resources go 'undiscovered'.
HTH. I'm looking forward to your pictures. Thank you for the help.
