Massacre’s First 2090 Card

[malicelover]

In the lore of COTG, Galaxian Invasion stands out as the first set to include character updates. Two card updates, The Ultimate Gladiators stand out, especially since after the initial cards were released - Tom determined that the Gladiators were not strong enough - so both got new cards later. I am looking for a copy of that original Massacre card, which I need some help figuring out how it differs from the updated card which most promoters have - but I would be willing to pay a more than fair price for the ORIGINAL Massacre 2090 card.

OG promoters, help those that might be willing to part with their card, by describing the differences between the original card and the updated 2090 Massacre card.

Drop me a message if you have the card and I will make an offer!

it's a grand total of one move difference IIRC (same with Brute) I'll have to look to see if I can find mine.

I can't help you with the card but in my original run with the game, Brute suffered a horrible injury in 2090 and was out for over a year (damn dice, haha). Massacre became a multiple-time Galaxian Champion in Brute's absence. Good times (well, not for Brute, haha).

How would you even know that you had an OG card vs the updated card?

For the record, here are the changes I found for both Gladiators:

BRUTE
Level 1 Offense #5 went from move - 2 (ag) to move - 2
Level 1 Offense #6 went from move - 3 (ag) to move - 3 (pw)
Level 2 Offense #1 went from move - 2 (ag) to move - 2
Level 2 Defense #5 went from hurt - 2 to dazed - 1
Cage pin went from 5 to 4

MASSACRE
Level 1 Offense #3 went from move - 2 to move - 2 (pw)
Level 1 Offense #5 went from move - 2 (pw) to into the ropes
Level 1 Offense #6 went from into the ropes to move - 3 (ch E)
Level 1 Defense #1 went from hurt - 2 to MASSACRE - 2
Level 1 Defense #3 went from dazed - 1 to MASSACRE - 1
Level 2 Offense #4 went from move - 2 (ch C) to move - 3
Level 3 Defense #5 went from down - 3 (tag) to down - 3 (tag)(lv)
Level 3 Defense #6 went from down - 3 (lv) to hurt - 2
Power rating went from -2 to -3

Tim, how soon after were those changes made to Massacre’s card? Like immediately?

I believe Tom handed out the updated cards at the first GalactiCon to attendees and mailed the cards to everyone else around that time.

If I remember correctly, it was pretty quick and I remember getting them a few weeks after the originals

Not sure about Brute but for Massacre it is the type of cigar he is smoking.
