catskilleagleHere is a list I put together based on what Jeff Allender has, what's in PCE2008, and the auctions that ended last Sunday. One of the auctions says there are 72 cards in the set (here's 64 of them). If anyone has a correction or extra information, please let me know.
1 The Biosphere (number in a yellow circle on back)
5 Gopher Tortoise (number in a white circle on back)

the "blue back"variant ("white circle") is rarer than the "tan back" ("yellow circle").

David RI noticed that recently some good deals have been popping up on ebay for the Biospheres.
While I, myself, have a complete set of the "original" promos, I did not have the "new" promo #1 which only surfaced for the first time around 2018 or so. Before that, we all thought that # 5 was the first promo. I grabbed the promo # 1 this week for a mere $ 10.
With all of the color variations, there are close to 100 different Biospheres known.
