Can those who have been fortunate enough to pull one of these variation cards comment on where it was in their pack? It is my sense that the rare cards are usually last in the pack. Does this hold true for these cards?

To be honest, I don't remember where mine was.  I was in such a state of shock I didn't make a mental note.

I think this is the second of this specific card to be pulled.  Do we know for sure how many of each type were made?

my guess from the odds is about 50

there should be 250 altered art and 250 mixed up character cards
so far, 4 types of each have surfaced.
it's possible there's a 5th to make the division perfect

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. 

Over $300 so I think you did ok in the end. Nice to see that one sold organically.

That then is about what they are worth then.  I don't think they are 600-1000 dollar cards

I am VERY appreciative that you sold me the Koduck Vari at a great price and hope to return the favor one day.

Yeah, I was happy as well as curious to see how it would turn out.  I do think there is some variation in the desirability of these cards, so it may be tough to peg a price too literally.  I know the buyer of my card liked the fact that it wasn't just another wacky character.  To be honest, I think I might have preferred a mixed-up Wacky character (I guess mine really was a mixed-up art card) but I'm happy I was able to defray the cost of what I put out for this series.

Here you go Patrick. Not a real high quality pic but at least its taken from straight on. Do you have a decent DEMENTED you can share? How many do you have pictures of. I have AJERX, CAMPY, CAP'N CRUD, COMMIE, DEMENTED, KODUCK, KOOK-AID, and QUACKER OATS.
