That is it Pete, a large factory number-I have seen portions of 25 and 30 on Sweet Caps only. I have seen very few of these and when you do see them they are usually the 30 portion. I found mine at a local mall weekend show.

It makes since from a printers perspective to have a large differentiating mark in the border on the SC 25 and SC 30 sheets. Without it they would have to rely on the small factory numbers printed on each cards back when selecting sheets to go to each specific factory.

i must go to the optometrist this week.
in all those years of pursuing the Monster i never saw this number.
have we even mentioned this point re: this 30 on the board in the last several years?
fascinating.

best,

All of the examples shown so far are from the Sweet Caporal 350 Series - I wonder if there are any known specimens from the SC 150 or 350-460 series as well?

Here is one that I own. There was one on Ebay last month of the same player that I have scanned (Rhoades-arm extended).

I found the image of the Rhoades that I mentioned in my first post.
