IF YOU SEE A STRAIGHT WHITE LINE(S) THAT GOES THROUGH THE ENTIRE IMAGE, IT IS FROM THE SCANNER. IT SOMETIMES ACTS UP.
IT IS NOT A SCRATCH ON THE CARD. THE CARDS ARE BASICALLY ALL IN MINT CONDITION. "NRMT/MT OR BETTER"

COGNAC VS PLATINUM
THE HOBBY NEVER REALLY UNDERSTOOD
WHICH OF THE TWO WERE RARER
COGNAC IS ROUGHLY 3 TIMES RARER
BUT MOST COLLECTORS LIKE THE LOOK OF PLATINUM OVER COGNAC
SO PRICES VARY
TOPPS NEVER MADE IT EASY
THE ODDS APPEAR TO BE THE SAME
IF YOU BROKE A CASE OF UPDATE
YOUR EYES WOULD TELL YOU PLATINUM IS MUCH RARER
HERE'S THE CATCH
COGNAC WAS ONLY IN UPDATE PACKS
PLATINUM UPDATE BASE CARDS AND SPs WERE 1:4 HOBBY PACKS
COGNAC BASE CARDS FOR SERIES 1 + 2 WERE 1:6 HOBBY PACKS
COGNAC UPDATE BASE CARDS WERE 1:12 HOBBY PACKS
IN HANGER PACKS STATED THE ODDS FOR BOTH WERE 1:11
CONFUSED?
REMEMBER, THERE ARE A TOTAL OF 990 BASE CARDS
COGNAC COVERED ALL OF THEM
PLATINUM ONLY COVERED 330 IN EACH SERIES PACKS
NOW....SPs
NO ODD FOR SPs WERE ON HOBBY PACKS
JUST SAYS PLATINUM IS 1:4
BUT HANGER PACKS STATE COGNAC SP ODDS ARE 1:6
REMEMBER THOUGH THAT COGNAC COVERS 3 SERIES
SO THERE ARE 74 SPs DISTRIBUTED AT 1:6 HANGER PACKS
444 PACKS WITH PERFECT COLLATION TO MAKE A SET
VS
100 PACKS TO MAKE THE PLATINUM SET FOR EACH SERIES
COGNAC SP LEGENDS APPEAR TO BE SLIGHTLY RARER
