Hi all,

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO POST ANYTHING YOU HAVE IN HERE.

Just got a huge lot of about 30 Joe cards that were miscards, paint errors, missing items, etc. It was a lot I purchased from a guy and they all made it to retail in one way or another. He collected them since 2007 and wanted to sell them all in one lot so I bought them. They mostly contain the 25th line which works for me. From the POC line I only collect miscards and I will post a few of them also. Most of them are not worth posting like missing stands, paint errors, etc. but I wanted to post a few that stood out to me.

Here are some 25th miscards that have date codes and everything. I have noticed that miscards are hard to find from the 25th line (legit ones) but if you notice they look like the card art so I can see how someone might let them slip by for whatever reason.

And lastly, these arent too exciting but I started a nice little firefly collection. In addition to the thin/wide waist figs here are a few errors:

Huh, seeing all these Fireflies together I just noticed something, the dark camo spot above the eyes is in different places on the forehead on a few of them.

just a huge focus on Firefly or did quality control not do very good at controlling that figure?

As a dealer, I have had so many of these figures pass through my hands that I stopped looking closely at them a long time ago. For all I know, I have sold figures on the wrong card, missing accessories, etc. It think it is great that others are keeping up with the errors.

I mainly wanted them for the miscards and everything else was just a bonus. I'm staring to like the firefly collection so i will probably continue with them but not actively collect other errors. It's funny how just the emblem missing from a fig can make them look so much different.
