[META] Season Two Meta Info?
Or: What Isn't Meta

So, although there is no larger hunt for season two, there's still a chance for meta on the cards (right?). I've started checking out cards for meta. I figure, the only way to find all the meta is check all the cards, right?

I've checked the following cards under a UV light, to no avail:
Red - 005, 007, 010
Orange - 035, 039, 044
Yellow - 066, 070
Green - 100, 104
Blue - 130, 135
Violet - 164, 171
Black - 194, 196

It's been suggested that 196 may have meta on it, as it appears on the card that a special ink has been partially printed on the card.

Anybody else done any checks?

DarkHuman has posted elsewhere that none of the Red through to Purple cards have UV.

I suspected that #006 had a UV mark (or other deliberate marking) on the reverse, but I now believe it's just a manufacturing flaw.

I think most of us know by now that #005 - Ixtilton is

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

scratch-and-sniff

and #044 - Opochtli is

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

heat-sensitive

- however, those are both related to the puzzles on the cards; not metas.

#100 appears to have a sort of "shadow-image" on it. It can be seen against the sky to the left (although it doesn't show up on the scan on the corresponding thread). It looks like part of a cogwheel, or I thought a drawing of the Sun emitting rays.

I've reported in the appropriate thread that #196 appears to have some treatment to the left-hand two-thirds of the card. I'm a little concerned though that the edging looks a bit rough (especially around the "Pit" on the card proper).

I'm most intrigued by what appear to be silver lines on some of the Silver cards. I've so far seen one silver line on #229 and two on #228. I've described them in detail in the thread for #229, so I won't repeat it here for the moment.
There have also been lines reported on cards #225 and #233, though I'm concerned that a number of people have reported not seeing the line on #229.

I have 6 silvers (can't remember the numbers at present, sorry) and don't see the lines. But if they're what I think they are, similar lines appeared on Season 1 silvers - it seems to just be an artifact of the printing process, the way they lay the silver/holo lining on the cards before printing the puzzles.

Drat. That would fit with what's been reported.
I hadn't seen this before on my S1 Silvers, so I assumed it was new.
