I am a NSU subscriber and I also bought 2 extra copies at Borders, all of which had the P2 promo.

Have any shown up at auction yet? I'm still of the opinion that I pity anyone who might pay big bucks for this variation. I have no first hand knowledge, just past experience.

By the way the dealer who first discovered this was "Bev and Berna" out of Somerville MA, my boyhood hometown.

Oh, my copy had the P2.

No i meant our Harris, however this is an assumption on my part as was the guess that it was Dee that found them.

All this assuming from me could take the total down but then your info will take it up again so i guess 5 is about right.

The amount of these that have been confirmed is still in single figures, this promo is scarce with a massive capital S.

non-sportsman did have another for sale, I don't know where that went though.

I bought mine for $49.95 or £30.57 and I think that may turn out to be a bargain.

Based on the number that have come to light you may be right.

Yep, reckon this one is going to be on a whole different scale of rare compared to the previous Battlestar Galactica P-UK promo. Expect promo card collectors to start listing it as one of their holy grail cards soon. That makes 6 confirmed and one at an unknown location

I have another error card for BSG S4 double costume DC17 where one of the swatches is missing, there is a picture of it in News and Rumors under Battlestar Galactica Season 4.

Just had a reply from non-sportsman, they bought 5 off a dealer who had five in their five copies of NSU. Now that's what I call lucky.

I think this is going to be one of those cards that once it goes into someone's collection it will not be coming out again.

It's actually not. Remember --- we did not know that we had two versions of the card. If we did, we would have asked the printer to randomize the cards. But since we knew no better, once one box was done, the printer moved on to the next box, and then the next, etc. So it's more likely then not that groups of copies with those cards would be together.

I suppose it depends how the sheets were cut and collated, the error occurred as mentioned previously on one card on each sheet.

By the way do you know how many sheets were produced on the print run?

No, unfortunately, I do not. We don't usually get that sort of info.

Pity, then we would know exactly how many cards with the error there were.
