To collectors unfamiliar with the E222 set, the card fronts AND card backs for EACH player were printed in more than one color (I'm not sure how many different colors). Also, the card backs have 3 different border designs AND 6 different type faces - however, it appears that for each player, there is only 1 border design and 1 type face. The chance of a collector ever completing a master set of E222 cards is less than slim and none! If you compare the two E222 Smith cards below (the blue-front card is no longer mine) to Ed's card (post #55) and Tom's card (post #24), you will see what I am talking about:

Val,
Here is a thread discussing these, which cards have which backs and possible color combos. Net54 is the leader for info on this series, many more threads discussing these.
