Anyone know anything about a sample pack?

I think it's extremely unlikely a card would be packaged with the sample pack. It's a neat piece for sure, but there is no evidence to indicate distribution was made with sample packs.

Here is one other amazing Polar Bear piece that unfortunately was likely stolen. I purchased this in December off of eBay. The Polar Bear crate had to be shipped via UPS in its own custom-made plywood crate that was approximately 3.5 feet long, by 2.5 feet high, and weighed 75 pounds. It left Ohio (where the seller was located) and made it to a sorting facility in Mount Olive, New Jersey before it disappeared (it was logged into the UPS tracking system as arriving, but it was never logged out of the system). After 3 weeks of frustrating calls with UPS, UPS told me it was lost forever and they were going to stop searching for it. I can't see how a package that large is lost, so I still believe it may have been stolen. If anyone ever happens to see this, please let me know!

Here is the answer I got from the seller about any overprints.

does the pack have a red overprint date on it? If so what is it?

I will double-check. But I do not believe it does. I also must note, this is a pre-Lorillard Polar Bear pack! When a PB pack even does become available out there, they are 99% always post-ATC deregulation Lorillard packs.
