Mitch, well the bonus card gags in this set didn't go away. Originally the set was designed with 14 bonus cards and what happened was that they became part of the base set when the set expanded. So, in effect, you did get your bonus cards, you just didn't have to hunt them down. Here's a fun fact that perhaps collector's don't know. Bonus card gags are actually picked to appeal to older collectors, hence their inclusion in Collector boxes. So bonus card gags tend to be more mature (if that makes sense) then the average ANS gag.
