1998 #2 (Kamex Mega Battle)

Hi there,

So today I was peering through my Trophy image archive on my computer and spotted something.
I noticed this a while ago but forgot to mention it;

The 1998 #2 (Kamex Mega Battle) scan that is in the [Pokemon Official Card Book 2000] pictured below has a different text body compared to viper Fox’s 1998 #2 (Kamex Mega Battle)


[Pokemon Official Card Book 2000]


[Viper Fox’s 1998 #2 (Kamex Mega Battle)]

As you can clearly see, the [2] in the body text of Viper Fox’s #2 is in a different position compared with the Official scan. Although the position where the [2] is on Viper Fox’s card is where the other two [2]'s should be when compared with the 1998 #1 & #3 scans. On the 3rd line down, 12 characters across this is where there is not a new line. That is the only difference, there isn’t a new line on the scan compared to Viper’s.

I have tried to find the information regarding this and can’t.

Is the scan in the Official Book 2000 wrong, was this a ‘demo’ scan which had an error (missing new line)? Did they change the body text of these cards half way through production or… I don’t have much else of an explanation.

Any help is appreciated!
Sorry for the long post.

Frosty,

Well… scans in the books snd the CD are special somehow… I remember the Battle road no. 1, 2, 3 trainers were empty because they printed the winners name on them later… So the cards on the CD do not exist actually
