NBL Derek Rucker Error Card?

[shanan]

I've recently started collecting the old Futera NBL cards and came across a Derek Rucker All Star Game card from 1996 (ASN2) that is clearly numbered 2332 of 1,500. Unless I'm going crazy that numbering shouldn't be possible. Does anybody know if this was a common problem with these cards?

I collected them when they first came out and can say have never seen that problem.

I still have a few left if you are looking for any.

from my understanding its was due to a error by futera at the time there where 1500 cards made plus 1500 promo/sample versions of several inserts in that series to gauge possible success in other non australian markets
but due to a processing error these cards where not only placed in packets but where also numbered instead of showing just #/1500 they were numbered up until 3000
this is the 5-6 ive seen during my time collecting of the rucker card there are others that came through the shop in the late 90's when i worked in the card shop

Thanks heaps for the info Andrew. Good to better understand what the deal was.
