And the "Death Duel with the Vulgar" card you also noted in that post is shown just above the "Nothing Can Stop...The Sandwitch" card on this page. Yeah, I'm just assuming there isn't another unnumbered Spider-Femme card that starts with "Nothing..."

I'm also assuming that #7 card is from the Spider-Femme boxed factory set.

I have a question...is the Freedonia Funnyworks (1993) listed in PCE an actual promo set? I have seen a set for sale before and see one now. It's numbered out of 1200 but it includes a certificate of authenticity that states profits from the sets go to charity. That means it was for sale. Todd had one that was marked as a proof so that could be considered a promo depending on what kind of a proof it is.

Thanks, John. If that set was for sale, then the 1200 sets were not promos. Only the #0 card and maybe Todd's proof set would be promos. Sometimes a proof is another word for a prototype and some number of them were given out. Other times, a proof (or a prototype) is a pre-production sample made only for in-house review. In that case there might be only a small number of them - maybe only one.
