Gotham P5 promo (Cryptozoic)
Exclusive to the Aug 3-7 NSCC show, however there is a catch:

Cryptozoic Entertainment will be in GTS Distribution’s Case Break Lounge. Stop by and learn more about some of our upcoming projects and chat with our team. If you visit you will be able to collect a limited edition Alfred Pennyworth promo card from the upcoming Gotham Season 1 set. Remove the shrink wrap and break the seal of your Cryptozoic trading card hobby box in front of a Cryptozoic representative at their booth in the GTS Breaker’s Lounge to receive a limited Gotham Trading Cards Season 1 promo card (P5) featuring Alfred Pennyworth. Limit of 24 promo cards per attendee per day. While supplies last.

yet another alledged promo card that is actually a rewards card for buying a box of product. It might aswell be called a box topper.

Are they saying only 120 are being released if it is 24 per day ? The show is 5 days

I guess I misread it. 24 per attendee. So someone could possibly open 24 boxes and get 24 promos

Have Gotham P3 and P4 promos been released yet ?

I know that P1 is out there (hard to find) and P2 was in NSU

There were also metal versions of P1 to P3 earlier this year at the Hawaii show

I have not seen regular P3 or any P4 yet, despite the fact that P5 is now coming !

Finally saw a P5 (just one) along with a non metal P3

So far, few have surfaced

What is the point of making a card to promote something and then not letting anybody have one??? Confused

You're talking about it aren't you? That's the point. Big Grin

If a P5 was available for every CZE box purchased at NSCC, you have to expect that there were hundreds of them. You also have to expect that CZE and/or GTS Distribution probably left with hundreds of them. Wink

Gotham has not been released yet. No matter where they are now, all these promos will surface eventually, count on it. Manufacturers and distributors are not throwing them away, they are being treated as incentives.

The P3 has the same image as the metal P3 (the gal who becomes Catwoman)

Yeah, no sense in getting upset about "limited" promos. They do surface eventually. I remember being at the 2001 San Diego Comic Con and going to a Star Wars panel discussion/preview (must have been for "Attack of the Clones"). At the end reps were handing out the promo Star Wars Evolution P4. I got a couple and traded for a few more and traded most of them after getting home. They were selling for about $10 each or you could get something else good for one for a while. Now, you can pick one up (or even the "rarer" P3) on Ebay for a couple of bucks.

What was that line in "Rising Sun" (quoting Sun Tzu)...if you wait by the river long enough, you will see the body of your enemy floating by?
