#60 Scarlet “Milk” Snake TAN BACK (ERROR WITH \"Milk\" IN NAME ON FRONT)This offering covers the Scarlet \"King\" Snake TAN BACK Correct Variation of this card number.CORRECT “King” IN NAME ON FRONT and ERROR \"Milk\" IN NAME ON FRONT Versions: During the preparing of the card title and text for each of the specific or subspecific Biosphere Promo Cards a determination had to be made as to which “common name” should be used for each respective species or subspecies. In the instance of card #60 the name first selected and set into type for the subject snake was Scarlet “Milk” Snake, but after further thought the writer of the text discerned that Scarlet “King” Snake would be more appropriate. Somehow the printer messed up on the instructions and some cards with Scarlet “Milk” Snake name appeared on the front in the early print run. Scarlet “King” Snake should be considered the correct version.

CHECKLISTING OF 1991 ACORN BIOSPHERE PROMO CARDS IN THE GRAND MASTER SET:


There are 32 different cards in the BASE SET but at least 96 different in the GRAND MASTER SET of Biosphere Promo Cards issued by the Acorn Corporation in 1991. This is a preliminary and tentative checklisting of 96 cards conservatively confirmed as being in the in the GRAND MASTER SET. This checklisting includes variations of the cards in the Biosphere Promo Set which to date have been discovered and proven to still exist and which actually have been seen and physically held. With the exception of the very distinctive MATTE FRONT variations none of the other much less distinct card surface types (Satin and Glossy) are considered worthy of being called variations. Excluded from this checklisting are some variations which otherwise would seem to qualify as legitimate variations but for which evidence has not yet been seen to clearly establish a likelihood that at least three or so of each such variation still exist. Proof, make-ready, blank back and blank front cards are excluded from the list. This checklist should be regarded as preliminary and subject to change and to expansion as more information and evidence emerge.
