I was looking at some Personality/Spoof Comics listings and noticed a card set I hadn't seen before, "Hobo: Patricide," and it has black-bordered cards including the one I posted. The regular set has 37 cards, and strangely, all unnumbered though the checklist card assigns numbers to them.

As with other sets, there's an autographed and serial-numbered edition (out of 100) and it includes an exclusive card. I haven't seen that card. The only signed set I've seen didn't have that card with it.

It was a surprise because I'd never seen a black-bordered Spoof Comics card before though a vague memory of someone (Todd?) mentioning its existence sometime ago came to me after thinking about it. I'm assuming it's an exclusive like the prism card. I know it's not inserted with the regular issue nor was it inserted with the Wolverbroad factory set as those cards are numbered. There is an exclusive card with the autographed edition of that set but that's a different (and full-bleed) card.

Like the prism card, you don't get an idea that this one is actually rather uncommon. You get both only with a comic that has packaging with a sticker serial-numbered out of 950.

PCE2008 lists 17 cel cards under "Coca-Cola Sprint Phone Cards/Cels (Scoreboard, 1996). There are others. In fact, the Jeff Allender's House of Checklists website states that it appears each of the 50 cels from the 1995 set has a promo variant for the 1996 set. I've seen only 6 others outside of the PCE2008 listing. One of the six is shown below. I saw it for the first time only a couple of years ago.

These used to go for $5-10 each but the going-rate seems to have bumped up to $15. You might find one for $10 or you might have to pay $20 for one you want.




Edit: PCE2008 does list a card titled, "Have a Coke and a Smile" like this one, but as I recall, that card shows a bottle and a glass of Coke.
