But doesn't this just mean only one card has surfaced so far? There is a myth that cards were printed all at one time, and that clearly was never true. Not only have I seen different cards with clearly different printing that were clearly both first release, but the small print at the bottom varies widely, indicating there were likely lots of regional printers. After all, why print a ton of cards in Los Angeles and pay to ship them to exchanges all over the country, when they could be printed in each region and save a lot on shipping?
