My favorite printing goofs. Love the neon orange borders these have. I enjoy them so much that I began the certain-to-be lifelong task of trying to build the entire series 3 set with just orange bordered cards. This would be going a bit easier if I didn't always have to compete with Leon on winning these

Here are some scans for you all. The Thebo Leon posted is the yellowest t210 I've ever seen. If this is not a "yellow", I'm not sure what is as I haven't seen anything that beats the Thebo in color. The Slaven I used to have is pretty similar though. I posted a scan of the Slaven as well as some of the t210 oranges I still have.

From my understanding, not every card in series 3 has an orange variant. I've only been able to locate maybe 14-16 players in this color. I track the cards as I see them come up for sale so I try to keep a record of every t210 orange or yellow bordered card out there.

Basically I believe these came into being because certain sheets of t210s missed the red color pass during the original print run. They're fascinating to see in person because the orange color is not a reddish orange or anything that's a subtle difference. They are a bright, neon orange which really sort of looks awesome on the cards.

By the way, check out the Jones in the scan below - in the upper, left corner. It's sort of a orange-yellowish hybrid of a card!
