An interesting little bit of trivia (and I'm not sure if it's been posted yet) is that the trading cards are exact to the original set. I double checked them with the set of cards I have, and they all match up. Numbers and everything.


Welcome, sporkbot! So, quick question...do they look like repros or originals?

Down to the miss print of the numbers (which is why there are two #6 cards).

Wait, 2 #6s? The site doesn't show that. Which number is missing from the sequence then?

Hey great to meet you and well done finding it all on your own!
Do you think you could get a scan or transcribe that news paper article that was in the wallet? I dont think we thought much about it when we were reading it, but there could be more clues in there.

It's hard to tell to be honest. My theory is that they're repros printed from the original source. However, the company running the game, could have just as easily invested in a mint set, then stamped them with the UV ink for the sake of the game. I didn't keep any of the cards as we divied up the spoils, otherwise I'd post side-by-side comparisons.

I'm still at work, cleaning up some toys, but as soon as I'm done, I'll post pictures of the cards from our wallet and a true vintage copy from here at work so we can compare.

Hey, I'll was able to get the Flynn Lives flier, and I'll scan that in, but I don't have the newspaper article anymore. One of the people to my left grabbed it.

 		Bah, I failed in ATL, stupid traffic really messed me up. This now makes two cell phone drops in ATL by 42E that I have missed. Sigh.

At least I have my Bit. Smile

Good eye. The number list on the bottom doesn't have 2 6s, but the cards themselves in the puzzle are listed that way (5th card in 6th row and 3rd card in last row). I wonder which one they considered the real #9?

 		The guy with the Toronto phone says that he's entered the Madrid codes, so there are only 3 locations left and 15 cards left, which means that 2 locations haven't entered their codes yet.
