No you're quite right. Some of them are reversed. Oh well I thought I 
might have had rare stereo cards with printing errors on it, that would 
have been valuable. ;-) But it seems they all had it. BTW I got mine in
Montreal. It makes me wonder thou, why did they make that mistake. Was
it on the original cards also? And if not, was it marketed to the masses
with the idea that they didn't care or know when they reproduced them the
difference. Or they knew and figured people would never bother to view them
with a stereoscope or if they did they wouldn't notice the difference!?
Statistically it seems they didn't know what they were doing because there
is a 50/50 chance of getting them right and that is the percentage of 
correct ones. Or more precisely 
5 correctly placed pairs
4 cross-eyed pairs
1 2d pair (or at least it seems to me. I can't see any 3d in The Brooklyn
Bridge pair and don't see any differences between the left and right image.
