Actually there is no such thing as 2nd or 3rd edition cards. the changes you are describing were NEVER a change to the "edition" of the cards. EVERY card printed is currenty 1st Edition. Base Set 2 will be the first time we see "2nd Edition" cards. Don't confuse "1st Edition" with LIMITED print "Edition 1" cards. They aren't the same thing. There is NO difference in pricing for any card that looks different from any other card. We've monitored no transactions for special error cards. Brian Brokaw
