I just emailed customer service through the Cryptozoic website, and this was the response:

"We had two different promo cards for Jurassic Park. We never sold any of them. P1 was given out at Philly show. P2 was exclusive to NSU magazine."

It is explained inside the magazine that the Cryptozoic Jurassic Park promo is substituted for the Peanuts promo at a rate of 1:5, so it is rarer.

That's another loss about losing NSU... It was a constant and reliable source of free promos! Now where will the average collector go to get so many of them included at no extra charge.

I guess if you live up North, you can still get a lot of free promos as the Philly! But NSU was every two months, delivered at your door. For the prices I saw those promos resurface on eBay, flipping the promos would more than pay for the subscription. (But I kept them all, just like I did the magazines.)

Thanks for saying that Kurt!

Regarding the Cryptozoic Peanuts/Jurassic Park promo cards....here's how it was *supposed* to work (and explained inside too as pointed out above). Every copy should contain one Cryptozoic promo and you get one or the other. The Jurassic Park promos were inserted at a rate of approximately 1:7 copies.

It sounds like the insertion was done correctly although something definitely went wrong with Hammer's copy.
