Wow. Every time I think I've seen the coolest thing I've ever seen on this board (the W555 camera/candy box being the most recent), something like this comes up.

I think someone ought to break the bank to keep the whole thing together b/c the puzzle is much more compelling than any of the individual pieces.

But ... if sold individually, would any individual card get more than the others simply because the piece on the back represents a "better" part of the puzzle? If so, would that be a first - where a specific back gets more than others b/c it is a more significant part of a larger whole?

And do we all appreciate what we have here? I think that typically the pieces and parts to this would appear one at a time, over time, over large geographical areas, and there would be threads devoted to speculation as to what they were, what they added up to - whatever. Here, we get to see almost the whole thing right out of the gate, and the pieces will all be known in terms of the context they came from. That in itself is unusual.
