Just had to share. I just won a huge lot of COTG cards on eBay and included among them are, I believe, the original set of 24 cards! No game book though. Now they could be the 2nd printing because according to the collecting page, there's no difference, albeit for a few minor changes. Is there a list somewhere as to what the differences were between first & second printing? Either way, I only had the 3rd printing, current edition, so I at least move up one. Although the cards are 'well loved' and in rough shape. Other finds in the lot were Qualitar's Talk Show card and a Lycos GCon card. I'll be bringing those to GCon with me for trading purposes, along with a green Phantasy card from CPC Classics 2109. Is that rare? I also have some rare fliers and a few other odds and ends I'll be bringing for trading, thought right now I only need Synergy and L&N has promised he has a set for me. I'm also missing a few of the color cards as well. I'm still working on my COTG collector's guide. A spreadsheet that lists all the products from FG along with the rarities. I have OCD that way. ANyone have a spreadsheet that lists all the characters in each set? Make my work a lot quicker. On another note, I think maybe there should be a classifieds section or at least stickied thread here so folks can swap goodies back and forth. This lot I bought has given me a lot of stuff to trade from regular, and I believe early printings, of sets. Unfortunately, they aren't in the best of shape, but a good starting point to someday have an original set of the original 24!

Grant, if you scroll down to the bottom of the COTG home page there are lists of every card in each GWF/CPC and aCe set. that should help.
The Green Phantasy card was a mistake reprint for a mistake on her 2109 card. Only a few at G-con 10 got that.
I might have avfew odds and ends extras to give to you, as my collection is close to complete. I think I am only missing the original Wolf color card.

Thanks for the info TM. I didn't know those lists were there. That'll help. I have a bunch of random extra cards that I think I won in auctions from the FG site (back in the old days when there used to be auctions ). The Phantasy card is one of them. The others are... Galaxian Invasion - Bishop Hell Invasion 2090 - Brute Civil War 2100 - Overkill Mega Tournament 2102 - Darkos The End 2109 - Ursa Major and a Maxime Babe card that...well....was apparently drawn when she was VERY cold. Tom gave me that one at GCon. And if the color Wolf card you're referring to is the one from 2002, I have that one, but only one copy. #00.01!

I remember getting 2 Ursa Major cards when I got the 2109 set. One had something missing on the back I think, I don't really remember and don't think it was a huge error.
I don't remember a Darkos error though

Grant - easiest way I can think of to tell if the original 24 are 1st or 2nd printing is to look at Vanity's PIN rating. I believe in the first run it was a 5(2) and was changed to 6(3).
I think Actagon originally had a Ch H on his level 2 offense which was changed in the second printing.
