As the action was a success, more series were issued, and finally 10 albums and nearly 900 arms were issued.

The albums were not made with great geographical care. Many names of towns and provinces are spelled wrongly, see album 9, where the province name should be Overijssel. The IJssel river(s) are spelled in different albums as : Yssel, IJsel, IJssel and in the provincial name thus IJzel. | |||

There are several variations of the Dutch cards, not in picture, but in the text on the back of the cards. As usual with tobacco and advertising cards, some advertising was printed on the back of the cards. For the Oldenkott cards, especially numbers 1-90 from the first series, 5 different versions exist; two Dutch versions in blue (difference is the price of the cigarettes 'á 60' or 'á 70'), one in black and one version in French (?!). The last series (Slotalbum) was issued with a different advertising text, see images below. | |||
