[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 9609293, member: 52734"] I have the 1991 & 1992 factory set. I [I]think[/I] there was one more - or at least a partial set. From what i recall they did lose the company money, and the stopped them to focus on printing more [I]Spellfire[/I], which was making them money. I mean, looking at E-bay, you can buy a factory set of 750 of the cards for as little as $50. I don't know what you'd [I]do[/I] with them... The cards mostly used recycle art (as did [I]Spellfire[/I]*), but a LOT of it was colored line art too and think that dropped a lot of appeal as time went on. The non-recycled art looked like this: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1741666936511.jpeg"]399203[/ATTACH] I have those old monster cards, they were given to me by the old owner of a beloved FLGS shortly before he passed away. There's at least two monsters that made their first appearance in that set, though I don't have them handy to remember what they are (I think they got printed into either the Fiend Folio or MM2, can't remember which). * There was also the [I]Blood War[/I] card game TSR did a little later, but I think it had a lot of unique DiTerrizelli artwork and not a lot of recycled art. I have some of the cards in storage, but I can't recall playing the game. <Edit:> Oh, and lest it be forgotten, during 3E there were cards that came with the D&D miniatures. They had the "fast-play" stats on one side and the full 3E stats on the other side. I don't think it was until some time during 4E they stopped packing cards with the minis, if I recall correctly.
