Maybe if you stare into the refractor effect for too long, you seen other colors...other universes.

You have the source for these as "general distribution" but these can be hard to find and I haven't seen anyone offer a set in years. I was wondering if these were actually test cards or otherwise unreleased, because back in the 90's, I knew of only one source for these (comic shop in New York somewhere). I figured somebody might've dumpster dove behind Topps again and rescued a quantity. Or. are they hard to find now because a lot of people didn't want them back then because they were oversized and threw them away?

I've not seen but the five I list. I suspect these came from a retailer seminar and were not issued to the public. But Ive not found any info of course so it remains a mystery. Perhaps I should note that in the write up, but I have nothing to back it. Just an educated assumption.

This is what I see when I go to the site. I've used a couple different browsers. My zoom is set at 100%.

I think it has to do with your screen resolution. You seem to have an ultra-wide monitor as well.

I get that screen too but the search box is right below it.

I dont know what all the furore is about, you just have to scroll down and up comes all sites and info bars you can click on too for what you need
No hassle.
Might be different on a phone , have not tried it on my phone might just try it out and see what happens.
As said in a former post it is easier to type in the set you want to find instead of scrolling the list.
Dont worry about what you initially see on the screen just scroll.
