The card is being given away by GTS Distribution at Comic Con - booth 305 to be exact.

The reason for the first solve taking so long is that the cards didn't arrive until Saturday morning. It seems that U.S. customs officials don't have any protocols set for receiving and processing shipments from Perplex City. Or, was the Third Power trying to block the card?

Is there any way to get one without travelling across to america?

Also could it be worth starting a new section under silver cards for Promo's and Gold Cards?

Since they're in California, they may as well be in England as far as I'm concerned.
Florida is too far, too! Sad

If they do end up on eBay, it will have to wait until I get all my silvers. Hopefully, that's the case with everyone else, the sellers will realize this, and the prices will be reasonable for this card... ? Confused
(I doubt it... but I can hope, can't I? Razz )

This card is not entered through a specific web address but has a serial number just like regular cards. Supposedly only 3000 were printed. None of the cards have foil over the serial number.

Solves 2,3,and 4 I believe belong to the guys that actually worked in the GTS booth.

The border on this card is a dull grey, definitely not to be confused with a silver.

Supposedly Comic-Con draws in more than 100,000 unique individuals during its 4 days. The overwhelming majority of these people have no clue what PXC is but where getting handed one of these cards anyway. Similarly with my response to getting handed random crap, most people probably tossed it in the next trash can they saw. So these cards are going to be VERY rare.

LOL, i don't think many of us will be able to get it, if any, it was a special at that particular show, I'm sure we'll see more in various places.

I hate to break it to you, but it seems like unless you can find someone who went to Comic-Con and picked it up by accident or something, I'd say they're all either accounted for, or lost in the process (dropped, thrown out, etc.). This is one time it might actually be GOOD to be the clean-up crew after a big party Wink Anyway, I'm sure if you really want one, they'll be up on Ebay or in other give-away type situations soon enough.

I had a friend who went to the booth and asked for the Comic-con exclusive card and was under the impression she had gotten one. And when she went back to try to get another card for me, there was nothing left (that was Sunday, I think). And then she had a chance to check the cards she had gotten. No copies of the special card.
