Same code, different cards

We know of 17 different cards printed as 165.

They share a code. They do not share a value — and most price sources average them together and publish the result as a single figure. That number isn’t wrong about one of these cards. It isn’t about any of them.

And there may well be more. Event winners, magazine promos, regional exclusives — a card can be reprinted with the same code and a completely different value.

We show you which card is which. We don’t yet show you what each one is worth — because a price is only meaningful once you know which of these it belongs to, and almost nobody publishing prices has bothered to find out.

Know a printing we’re missing? Regional promos, magazine inserts, event exclusives and lottery items are exactly where catalogs go wrong — and ours is no exception. We list what we know of, not what exists.

This catalog gets better when collectors tell us we’re wrong. Corrections are the product — every one makes it something nobody starting today could reproduce.
