At first I thought there may be a phone number in there, I've tried a couple of combinations but they weren't recognised...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Due to the 10 digit numbers I was thinking ISBN numbers and don't those look like books in the background?

A few seem to be sort of science orientated, although I couldn't find them all on Amazon. In order going down:
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Calculus
Isaac Newton
Quicksilver
The Principia : Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy
The Five-Book Prelude
No amazon result (putting a 4 instead of 5 at the end gives On the Shoulders of Giants)
Star Trek - The Next Generation, Episode 152: Descent, Part I (now that doesn't seem right)
The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History
Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel, and the Apocalypse of St. John
The Poetical Works Of Alexander Pope

The only major link I can find with these after looking a little is that most seem to have some link to Issac Newton, could that be it?

FWIW

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The Star Trek episode starts with Data playing poker with famous scientists Stephen Hawking (playing himself), Einstein and, more importantly, Newton.

That correction is on the solve page for the card ... they should really publicise those more! I thought I was on the wrong track when one came up missing!

This card has a new design. It's the same numbers but has no white border and the spines of the books have different colours.

Actually the numbers have been changed ever so slightly on the Season 1 card...

Line 6 now reads:

Quote:
0762413484


instead of

Quote:
0762413485


They've corrected the mistake mentioned above... Smile
