I found out some time later online that it was a limited card and a disgruntled artist had slipped it past the editors somehow. Wish I had saved it, I'm sure it's worth some cash.

LOL, nice one.
In my university years a friend of mine got kicked out for being a
lazy arse. In retaliation, the guy hacked the university webpage and
for a couple of hours you could see photoshop'd pics of the Dean
wearing dresses and his face replacing a guy taking it from the rear.
Hilarious. I 'print screen' the thing as soon as the word spread.

I wonder why it's status is not TRUE, they must have had access to the card to prove it. I can't imagine everyone in the world is like me and left their cards outside in the rain or got bored and burned them.
