Hi,
I started going through my ex series binders to add in some new cards I got and I noticed something. As I'm going through my ex Unseen Forces cards, I saw that I have two of the same Slugma with different serial numbers.
When I say serial numbers, I mean the number in the lower right. The two I have for Magby are:
U87-AZG-51B and U87-AZG-0MF
After I noticed this, I started checking every card I have for the set. I found some more cases like this, and even found a card that has 3 different serial numbers (Chinchou 52/115) and also noticed that some/most Reverse Holos have different serials than the non-holos but the Rare Holos have the same serial number as their Reverse Holo counterparts. Of course, all this information is just from the cards I have in my (incomplete) Unseen Forces set, so it may be false. Which brings me to my questions.
1. Why are there different serial numbers for each card?
2. Are there any patterns in the change of serial numbers? i.e. Holos have a different one than non-holos or it changed each print run (date)?
3. Does anyone know of a list that contains each serial number for each card?
