Questions / Comments for Crazy Clown Collectors
1. Has anyone ever seen a Series 1 Zombie token? Might the 4 x 3 pack (noted in Rarities Crazy Clown cover page) mean 4 each of the three other Series 1 tokens?
2. Has anyone ever seen a Series 2 Goblin token, or a Series 2 Pegasus token? Might the 2 x 8 pack (noted in Rarities Crazy Clown cover page) actually be a 2 x 6 pack (resulting in the 12 total tokens in a pack, like in the Series 1 pack)?
3. Has anyone ever seen any “dark” Series 7 tokens or any Series 8 tokens with the gloss coating on the wrong (back) side?
4. Which Series 7 tokens are harder to find, the “light” version or the “dark” version.
I ask these questions to help me expand on some trends I’ve noted in my collection. I have recently had the opportunity to evaluate many hundreds of Crazy Clown tokens from various sources. One such group of tokens are purported to be the cache that Arai Jin was forced to divest after Wizards obtained a "cease and desist" order against him. Based upon the variety of tokens in this collection, and their condition, I would be willing to believe the claim is true.
Having this large number of tokens allowed me to perform some very in-depth evaluations on my entire collection of tokens, including those obtained from all my prior sources. I can verify that virtually all notable reprints (legitimate and otherwise) appear to involve only 7th and 8th Series tokens. I have found no credible evidence that any other series was reprinted (at least not systematically) beyond the original desires of Arai Jin.
I still have a bit more work to do, and would greatly appreciate feedback to the above questions before I provide additional results and conclusions, especially regarding 6th, 7th, and 8th Series tokens.
