I have seen a card for this old Strictly Ink set. Looks to be a title card, mostly red with the Avengers logo. On the top it says /2500 but no number is filled it. Seller calls it a "rare promo" and is asking $ 50 for it. Any idea what it really is ?

My understanding is that the Gold Foil Stamped Card was going to be issued with The Avengers Additions Trading Card Collection by Strictly Ink in 2006 as a Box Topper.
The "Additions" cards (not series 3) were eventually released in 2008 as a Limited Edition (50) set and had this card included with a hologram sticker over the "2500" number.

Thanks. I have never seen what the back of the card looks like, so I didn't know if it was a real promo or not. The only card I have for the set is the common PR1 promo.
So do only 50 of these exist ?
You can see one now, "you know where"....

If I could figure out how to add a picture here I would show both sides to this card There were 50 cards that accompanied the 50 Avengers Archive Sets in 2008 and I believe these were hand written numbered over the hologram sticker. Some of the cards were given to dealers by Strictly Ink - and some were included in the Strictly Ink Year Sets. How many...? I suspect the one on "you know where" is a dealer gift or year set as it does not have a hologram sticker over the panel.
