Unfortunately, at some point over the last 3 or 4 years, I gave away my second set of 2006 cards once I had pulled out the four new cards. <br /><br />So that means I had the updated Billmeyer and Thompson cards sitting around, but I never bothered to check to make sure all the cards matched up. Now I'll add them to the list of cards I'll try to track down!Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161762602291616465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433941530167569659.post-85405579868553701932014-12-05T12:24:12.046-05:002014-12-05T12:24:12.046-05:00P.S.

The upshot of that is that the first release had 37 cards, the second release had 38 cards, and there were 43 different photocards in total (32 in both releases, 5 in only the first, and 6 in only the second, in both cases counting the 1st version of the Thompson and Billmeyer cards as being only in the first release and the second version as being only in the second release).Steve F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00753488569249068229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433941530167569659.post-10600338285986593552014-12-05T12:20:03.871-05:002014-12-05T12:20:03.871-05:00Finally another post that I can add some knowledge...Finally another post that I can add some knowledge to!<br /><br />My notes on this show that they didn't exactly _add_ those 4 updates; they more _replaced_ other cards with those. The 2nd edition eliminated 3 cards (not 4): Tomas Perez, Ricardo Rodriguez and Robinson Tejeda.<br /><br />Also, the photos were changed for Mick Billmeyer (from throwing BP in series 1 to posing in series 2) and Milt Thompson (from holding a ball in series 1 to watching BP in series 2).<br /><br />From memory, I believe that the second set had a sticker on the wrapper that said "New Second Series" or something like that, unlike in prior or subsequent years where you couldn't generally tell if you had a later update unless the design changed. Also I seem to recall that when they sold the second series, it had the Cole Hamels card on top, since his arrival was a big deal that year.Steve F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00753488569249068229noreply@blogger.com
