Has it actually been confirmed that 06 UD SFX Blues are /25?

He thought it was serial numbered because I said it was an sp /25

To be fair, there's nothing concrete saying these are really /25. It's been theorized based on people who did some serious breaking, but nothing official. I originally asked the question about them being /25 because I had heard it was so, but wanted to see if anyone could prove it.

I swear Upper Deck themselves announced these as being /25 back when they came out. Does anyone else remember that or am I misremembering? Pretty sure its assumed "nothing official" because the Beckett gods failed to report it and within a year there was so much going down at UD that no one there even knew what they were producing anymore much less 6 months ago

Anyone have any wrappers to see what UD's stated odds are? Or did they even have anything on the packs?

I thought I bought a base card from this, so there is some confusion still about these cards.

If the Looper you have doesn't sell would you trade it?

Someone earlier said wrapper odds had blues 1:4 or some other misconception like that.Whatever they printed on the wrapppers was wrong.

Does anybody have an Edgardo Alfonzo (#389) blue for sale or can point me in the direction of where to find one? I have PayPal available. Any help would be great.

Item not as described number 2!

wow man, sorry for the bad luck. i bought a lot of these off burbank quite a few months ago and have sold several and have yet to run into INAD...although the weaver rookie I sold the guy raised a stink about it not being #'d/25 but I told him about this thread and even linked him to it and he said he wanted to keep the card....maybe you should try that? lol

Hindsight I should have described them better. Sp short print /25 seems to be an issue. Just turbo listed the 50 I had as quick as possible so I could move on to something else

I would just say that if you're selling these cards, putting "/25" in the description could be misleading, or at least cause confusion, as to me that indicates that "some number/25" is printed on the card. Putting "Print Run (or PR) 25" or something to that effect could be more useful, and fully explaining in the description would also head off problems.

I don't disagree ^ but SP has never meant serial numbered as far as I know. I know people still use it but SP is short print. PR is definitely something I will use in the future. Honestly not overly concerned about this. This is an unknown set so people not knowing about them is understandable, but the F/X set is serial numbered on the front so if buyers took 5 seconds to do a little research things would be easier :)

Was looking for the Coste RC for a few years and finally found one this year. Just odd that they aren't numbered like the other colors. Certainly harder to find.
