[QUOTE=Colder Soldier;345804]"Mirrored finished" 25th cards are awesome, but aren't really variants. They are neither mistakes nor planned, so they can't be considered that. They seem to only be the fresh products whenever a fresh printing is begun. Llike when you change the ink in a printer or get a new printer, everything that comes out is so much clearer. Some scalper started this whole "embossed variant" notient to try and stretch the buck they want for it farther. If anything, it's debossed instead of embossed because the logo actually indents (due to printing pressure) instead of protruding (like something being "3D" embossed).
I have to agree. Most people hawking these on ebay seem to be trying to milk all they can out of people collecting the 25th items. Is there any official word from hasbro on these so called "variants" cards? |

Ok, so a quick review of the unopened ones I have:
Rock n' Roll. Mine has a crease on the card through the 25th logo and the lower left corner has some smashing, though (I usually don't check cards since I'm an opener. A slow opener as I try to get my shelves in order, but that's the plan, anyway). Destro (Iron Grenadier). Card stamps are 80042 if that helps you hunt. |

My research indicates that they would be more valuable and collectible due to the logo being double stamped or something like that, I don't know but here's what I have so far.
Storm Shadow Destro (also was VERY hard to locate) Hiss Driver Major Bludd Snow job Doc Spirit Duke w/ Flag Scarlett Cobra Viper Cobra Commander (Wave 4) Cobra AiR Trooper there may be more but that's all I remember right now. I'm also looking for (that I KNOW exist) Rock N Roll, Torpedo, Snake Eyes w/ Knives, and Battle Armor Cobra Commander.

Most of my MOC collection are on the minty mirrored-finished cards. I admit, I hunt them too. They do look so much nicer. I have 10 W2 Cobra Troopers on shiny cards if anyone is interested. $8.50 each plus shipping (Damn, now I sound like a scalper). I'll also trade them for BATs and TRU CGs. |
