Gimmicks

Gimmicks are seeded two per hobby case (1:307 packs); and a much tougher pull in retail packs (1:2375). Unlike similar gimmick sets, the production code on the back of each card is the same as the base card. (THANKS TOPPS!)

The fine folks at Cardboard Connection has compiled a visual guide for these cards.
