Palatinus' OverPower Forum

But of the 10 Hillshire Farms hero cards, Black Cat's Hero in indestinguishable from the Power Surge Hero, so technically, there should be 120, if we really are looking at uniqueness (unless, of course, there is a copyright stamp with different dates on the two cards.)

Either case, good trivia!  Toss another one out there.

unless

Powersurge has copyright 1995 on it. Hillshires have 1996. The jumbo cards don't have any copyright on the back.

that's the total i came up with too

congrats!

But the HF and the Placards wouldnt be original cards.....

The HF cards with the glow around the stats would be original since the characters released in the original OP don't have glowing stats.  As stated above, Black Cat is the only character who's cards are the same, save for the copyright stamp's date.  The Placards, are simply much bigger...

IMO of things, I could let the HF go as original since they do glow, but the placards being original just because they are larger  not original IMO b/c its basically just a large reprint of the same card....

really?

a card identical in every way except for a 'glow' is more distinct than 2 cards of vastly different sizes?

also, the placards have square egdges, instead of rounded

I know    It's just literally a "me preference." I know they are different but when I look at them they are the same only bigger/smaller. I think that's just the player in me. I don't collect every card in the game (i.e. I don't need the Mysterio 3 stat and the Mysterio 3 stat from HF). I only collect what I play with so I think my preferences filter a few opinions
