There have been lots of No Number Semi-Colin debates, and rightfully so. People pull them all the time from OS9 boxes on eBay every day and it continues to be the almighty holy grail in the GPK OS world due to it's fame, just like Atom Bomb in the FB rehashes. You all seem to *forget* the MUCH RARER and older card, the OS5 "Green 10" Repaired Rex (174b). Hype goes a long way, and no-number semi-colin is rare, but lets please put it in the back seat to the rarer and more deserving OS card. Serious OS9 buyers ALL pull a No# Semi. How many serious Buyers pull a "Green 10" 174b? Like... Nobody. Harder to pull than an an FB2 Sketch by far. I appreciate the appearance of the GPK OS crown for Semi-Colin. It is a rare card, and obviously shows a difference to everyone due to the complete lack of a number. Unfortunately, this thread is about the true RAREST OS card. These are some posts from the forum. It does not devalue your Semi-Colin, just enlightens you about a MUCH rarer OS card. I think this error card is a little rarer then is led to believe. I've gone through thousands of 5th series cards and have never found one. I've only ever seen one on ebay. That's were I got this one from. It is indeed a rare card. I totally agree. I've purchased nearly 70 or so Repaired Rex cards and never received the glorious Green 10. I finally cracked and payed out way too much for one on eBay as well, but I feel it is so much more rare than a Semi-Colin No#. Repaired Rex Green 10 > Semi Colin No Number to the nth degree, and this is in before the hype! My Green 10 is so much more precious than all my N#-Semi-C's. That is a cool error card. that one is probably more rare the no #Semi. Its a wonder that this card does not sell for a lot more then what it does. Well I have multiple reasons for why I believe people ignore this card. 1. A lot of people don't even know it exists. 2. People think a mysterious Green number 10 isn't important. 3. People think this card is easily found. Somebody reported you pull about 1 Green 10 per box, which couldn't be more incorrect. 4. People think that the green 10 shows up on cards that are printed in light colors. Absolutely not true. All my Repaired Rex cards are dead mint and pack fresh, and vary from super dark, to extremely light. The Green 10 was an error in the proof/plate manufacturing process same as Semi Colin, and was corrected at the factory. Out of all my Rex cards aside from the Green 10 from eBay, I only had one with a very faint greenish tint below the number, and the card was printed super dark all around. Surely was printed from the Green 10 plate, and possibly they tried correcting the issue at first by significantly darkening up the card which simply didn't work from a marketing standpoint. In conclusion, the Green 10 is a legit error and quite scarce. A beautiful addition to any OS5 collection.

After seeing this post I decided to look through all of my OS 5 GPK's to see if I had one of these. I only have a total of 4 Repaired REX's and luckily I do have one. You can see in the pic that it is the one on the left (an original "non green 10" is on the right for comparison). It sucks that the corners are not perfect but it is a rare card and it is just nice for me to have it in my collection. Thank you for bringing this card to my attention. Attachments:

Wow! 1 out of only 4 is insane, congrats man! Since it has damaged corners, was this card one of your original childhood pulls? Even in the current condition, I'd still probably get that one PSA graded. To my knowledge, nobody has even had one PSA graded yet according to the registry/database! My card has a small indent on the left side of the border, and the sticker area seems mis-cut. I'm still going to send it in. It won't get a 10, but overall I'm pretty happy with the condition.

[/quote] Wow! 1 out of only 4 is insane, congrats man! [/quote] Yeah, I was pretty surprised myself. As soon as I looked and saw it there, I was pretty happy about it. The other ones that I have have the darker black background, like to cover it up. Do you know if this printing error occurred on 174a FRED Thread?

The error only occurs on the 174b Repaired REX variation.

I have posted this card here before and not too many people know about it because no sites reference it. Its a 4th series card #153b Duncan Pumpkin. Look at the card on the right just above the knife point, there is a fine squiggly line. This is also a hard card to find. I have only seen 2. Check your cards to see if you have one and let me know.

lespaul79: I have 10 Duncan Punkin's all from rack packs, Woody Alan runs and none have the swirl above the knife, checked a set I got along time ago which happens to be 'mostly' Oak Kay cards and I got the swirl there! Not sure if it's the pic or not, but the swirl I have looks dark pink. Ordered a box of jumbo packs the other day, now I got something to look for

Keep this thread updated about the rarity of the Duncan. I am crazy curious. My OS collection is not handy, so I cannot check. These could be common in one particular run, or they could be very rare. Lots of "coulds", and I think we would all love to know some actual facts.
None the less, rad discovery!

Awesome. Now we have some more info to go on. This could have been only from the second printing. And yes, the swirl is a dark pinkish color on mine as well. Cool, let me know what you find in your jumbo packs. Thanks

ty, maybe you should start a little poll, of people that own a green 10, and how many regular they have in comparison to the green 10 card............and les maybe you could set up the same poll for the duncan card. just a thought guys

Bought my Green 10 off eBay. So I'm at about 70-0 + green 10 eBay.

I cracked open yet another sealed OS5 box with 25c packs that can contain a green 10. Surprisingly, I pulled 3 rex cards, but no green 10.
Moving on, I opened a White cloud OS4 "Oak Kay" box . I pulled 1 single Duncan Pumpkin, NO pink swirl. I have the worst luck. Green 10 is arse rare, Semi Colin is pretty darn rare too. Is this Duncan just as rare? I'm starting to think so.
It sucks searching out a single type of box for Semi, Green 10, and Duncan swirl...Yet pulling nothing good. An "Odds-per-box" thread would be fantastic for the specific box runs that contain these collectible cards.

these are some good finds people. Good work.
does it have to be from packs WITH the 25c? Or can it be both? Or do you have no idea?

As for Duncan, The trends are showing that it "probably" comes from later-run Oak Kay packs (5th or 6th out of 6 runs). There are two different oak kay pack wrappers, not sure which one this Duncan comes from. As for semi, we all know it comes from a specific pack run (2nd out of 4), and just like the other 2 above are error cards it only appears in a single special run.

At the current cheap price for a Green 10 Repaired Rex or a Duncan Pumpkin swirl, probably cheaper to actually buy the actual card itself from eBay than to open multiple OS boxes and pull nothing. Since people are still generally unaware of these rare cards, they usually only sell for a few bucks more than a sealed box of each respected series right now. Doesn't Fly that way with Semi Colin, and in the future it won't fly that way for these two other OS rarities either.

The green 10 I had to purchase from ebay so I imagine its pretty hard card to pull. The Duncan swirl card I just so happen to spot it when I was putting my sets together and check through multiple cards for the best condition when I saw the swirl. I've been trying to find any info on it for the longest time but nobody has heard about. I have posted photos on here about a year ago but nobody was interested to comment. I talked to AJ Booten (Barron Aaron) last year about it and he said he had heard about it and it was a super rare card. I was hoping that he would reference it on his site to get more people aware of the error but he wasn't going to. Adding the photos to this thread helped get people aware of this card and hopefully more and maybe we will be able to track down and confirm the print run this card came from. Keep the info coming guys! This card is real and rare and it should be considered a variation more then a error card. This swirly line is to perfect and defined just to be an error. Just my thought.

After reading all this i think im going to be opening all my OS 5 and OS 9 see if i can pull one of these rare beauties lol and i wouild have to agree with Lespaul79 the Squiggly line does look to perfect to be an error even the placing of it above the knife looks intentional to me but that is just My opinion tho

is it JUST Repaired Rex that the error occurs on? or both?

Post by Neck TY on Sept 23, 2011 23:38:26 GMT -5
just 174B- Repaired Rex, you can safely ignore Fred Thread. I paid $34+ shipping for an imperfect card and feel that I got a great deal considering so many wasted sealed OS5 first-run 25c boxes that I've searched.
You don't really pull them from packs on the average 25c box, and os5 cards are usually warped, gum-stained or wrapper wax-stained when from NOS packs. So no, sirs and madams, you do not pull this card from every first run 25c box, I've never pulled a single one accept maybe just my childhood. I've now just a bunch of useless open packs now with a handful of imperfect os5 sets. Just buy the darn card, you're not gonna' pull it even with the knowledgeable lowdown on the certain print run.

I wonder what the value would be for the Repaired Rex, and Duncan Pumpkin errors? I'll offer 30 for each card in nice shape.

Post by spree on Sept 24, 2011 18:55:47 GMT -5
i wouldn't pay over 25-30 for it until it's more widely known.

Hi all, This thread got me looking at my spares in the hope of a find... No green 10 or squiggle But.... I'm not sure if I may have found an error card in OS5 US for Ross Roast... 2 out of 8 cards have a strange blue cross in the name bar, cutting through the S and R. I've attached a scan (not sure if the quality will be fantastic) of the 2 cards I found. Has anyone else got a card like this or have I just got 2 weird cards? Regards, Stewart Attachments:
