<p>Today's NEW Cardboard Story:</p><p>Yesterday's NEW addition (1998 Collectors Edge Odyssey Quarter 3 of 3 #213 (#1/150)) shows that quality control in the industry is pretty bad. </p><p>In 1998 Collector's Edge accidently stamped all Hologold parallels out of #/150 that were released in packs. That was fine with Quarter 1 cards, but Quarter 2 was supposed to be #/50 (Quarter 3 was supposed to be #/30 and Quarter 4 was supposed to be #/20)! Although the mis-serial numbered card were out of #/150, the correct number of cards were issued for each Quarter. </p><p>Collector's Edge said they would issue replacements with the correct serial # provided customers turned in the mis-numbered one which would then be destoryed. In the summer of 2007 (2nd post in this thread on page 1), I completed a QUAD - that is premium serial # cards: #1, 8, 11 and last number as seen below.</p><p></p><p><br />
Unfortunately, the addition of 1998 Collectors Edge Odyssey Quarter 3 of 3 #213 (#1/150) shows that this card was:<br />
A. Never turned in for redemption which means that CE created a complete run of replacements vs replacing individual error cards as they were turned in.<br />
B. Not destroyed after it was redeemed.</p><p>In either case, I now own two of the "same" hologold card (#1/150) and (#1/30). Kinda cool if you ask me.</p>
