There's a listing, "Swamp Thang," under the Spoof Comics heading on page 132. It doesn't list the source. The Swamp Thang card is unnumbered, undated and bears no indication of its origin other than some text describing the subject. It's another one of the random inserts you could get with the serial-numbered (out of 4000) "Trading Card Edition" of the "Amazing Heroes Swimsuit Issue" #5 (Amazing Heroes August, 1993).

This single was poorly cut. I was going to try editing it to make the edges closer to parallel but that's a lot of work.

PCE2008 lists an unnumbered promo card for the "Bill and Ted's Most Atypical Movie" set (Pro Set, 1991) and it is the only promo card for that set but there is another promo item. Four-card cello packs of base cards were also given out (somewhere) and the packs had different mixes so you might be able to assemble a set if had enough packs. It's a 100-card set so you'd need a lot of them.

Anyway, some collectors would want to keep an unopened pack at least as a curiosity because there was just the one promo and the set didn't have any chase cards.

I had never heard of these packs until recently - came up in an Ebay search while I was looking for something else.

Have you compared this card to the card from packs? Occasionally there are subtle differences.

No, but I know what you're talking about. Sometimes, the text has minor rearrangements but I don't have any cards from the base set for comparison. Pro Set is known for having promo packs with just base cards inside (or there might be an exclusive header card). They did it with SuperStars MusiCards and Yo! MTV Raps cards.

PCE2008 notes an X-Babes promo with a silver prismatic border but doesn't list the source. It was inserted exclusively with the "Limited Prism Card Edition" of the X-Babes #6 comic (Spoof Comics/Personality Comics, 1992).
