Chrome Variations

I don't always love being wrong, but I do in this case.  Literally, an hour or so after making my statement above, I pulled one of these cards.

Thanks for the info!  I didn't recognize the character.  Very cool that Norm's artwork has made a return to Wackys on this card.

By the way, I listed it on ebay, starting at a penny to make it interesting, and when I search the auction doesn't come up.  Can anyone else see it?

***OK, it does seem to be showing up now.  Hope the rest of you can see it.

Love the alternate cards we've seen so far, too!  Do they have anything on the back to indicate
that they are "alternates"? 

And I know it's posted somewhere, but for refractor variations, we have
1.  the plain refractors
2.  blue
3.  gold
4.  These checkboard designs, from Target
5.  super-duper atomic

Am I missing any?

check out the Master List for the varieties.
I may need to add small pics to make it easy to know the differences in design

Thanks for sharing. Now I have to look at all my cards again although I highly doubt I would pull 2 in the same case. Highly doubtful. I did pull a Len Brown auto. Anyone care to buy it?

I love checking in to the Chrome Variation Thread early in the morning to see what new title has popped up. This is the highlight of this release for me. Similar to sketches in terms of "What will the minds of the Wacky Artists come up with next?" I wonder if the "Wonky Packages" we got a year ago were the genesis for these?

It would seem that way

Unfortunately, these are just too scarce for the average collector to afford.

and a continuation of the C variations from ANS11, but taken up a notch. BAM!

[Zenergizer]

Holy Variations, Batman!

[LukeDeem]

I agree, love the variations, I have to go through all my cards ahhh!

[koduck]

Then that makes me an average collector too

Mine's only at $21.50 on ebay.  Most people could afford that

Actually, I'm kinda fascinated by what these will fetch.  I'm selling mine as I want the money to pay for all the chrome I bought as well as upcoming releases.  Even if I didn't have one on ebay, I'd be very curious what they'd get.  With a horse in the race, I'm even more interested.  Would like to know more about how many of each image, but perhaps the unknown is part of the appeal.

I don't see the auction. What did you use for a title? Did you use variation in the title?

I think we can come up with the number of total cards made by dividing 1500 into the total number of packs. We know there are about 33600 Hobby packs. (200 cases X 12 Boxes per case X 14 Packs per Box). So that's 22 cards in the Hobby Release. If we speculate that the retail releases are about double the Hobby release size then we get another 45 Cards so a Total of 67 Cards made. So far we have 5 Titles and there are probably 10 or so.  So that means around 7 made per card.  Just a guess.

Here is another variation. The AJERX title:

I like that one a lot!  Think we'll see the Ajerx guy on a Badzooka?

I didn't use "variation" in the title, but I suppose I should have.  I hope this link works.

I hope you get a lot of money for it.  I love when the market dictates a wacky price, not just a negotiated "Buy it Now"

I guess it's too late to change the title once someone bids? If not, change it ASAP!

Unfortunately, it is too late.  I suppose I could always add it to the auction description, though.

Looks like there's no shortage of bidders nonetheless!

You would have to stop the auction to retitle. You still have 5 days left so I wouldn't worry too much.

I see.  I really wasn't sure what key words/terms to use, but I appreciate the feedback.  I really am curious what it will go for.  Obviously, I have a horse in the race, but I'd be very curious even if I didn't.  I'm also curious how many more of these will pop up (either of Campy's specifically or any title).

[Fanatical_and_Sickly]

I think we can come up with the number of total cards made by dividing 1500 into the total number of packs. 
So far we have 5 Titles and there are probably 10 or so.  So that means around 7 made per card.  Just a guess.

from the odds on the pack, there are 250 cards of art change and 250 cards of character change

so far we've seen about 3 of each type, but likely there's a couple more out there, meaning about 50 of each variety.
If more show up, just keep dividing 250 down.

Campy is climbing in price!

I just knew these Altered Art variations had to have an Ugly Sticker in there somewhere. Fantastic!

i received a Koduck  Character Swap card with Quacker Oats character on it yesterday I had purchased it outside of Ebay.  This will be the only one of this type of card I own for this release. I was fortunate to be able to obtain one. I think these are much cooler than the Superfractor Cards.

I'd prefer one of these as well.  I left an empty spot in the pages for one, but I expect it to remain that way.

I purchased a case and had ONE - Very kool and rare so I am happy!

Here it is:
