The people on bikes are a case hit + the /25 in one blaster is a nice box!

I have to admit I liked Panini Golden Age much better. So far I've bought a few packs of A & G and not many non-sport subjects.One quirky thing I noticed, musician Henry Rollins has 2 cards - 266 and 348. Image on front is almost the same, different background colors, and text on back is the same except for numbers and one says "Performer" the other "Musician". Has anyone noticed this for other subjects?

Could be related to the Ginter Code. Its a contest each year with this set where you need to find the hidden code in the card to win the grand prize of a set of autographs.

Here is a link to last years code and solution

Could be, but he was the singer of black flag and now he does stand up, pretty cool variant if you ask me!
