In Preperation for all those amazing Rumble Packs, I have been going through my entire collection, cataloging needs/wants/etc so I’m all ready to offer some sweet trades.
I have been using the indispensable Card List spreadsheet in the Documentation folder but even going card by card, I have a few questions.
- There are three Myron Reed cards. I only seem to have one. I think it’s the first one but without the other two I’m not sure. What are the differences between them?
- Gordon Smack has two cards. One is his first, the second listed is an ICON exclusive and on the spreadsheet it’s listed as being part of Free Agents 2 but the extra card I have says Free Agents 3. Is this just an error on the spreadsheet? And is that GSmack card that says Free Agents 3 the ICON card?
- Is there a list of all the (Prototype) cards that were sent out with the sample Wax Packs last Black Friday?
- Is the Rex Bacchus card official or a Community Creation?
- On the Spreadsheet, on the Official Cards List, it lists Fight Island as a set. I’m thinking that is a typo of Fire Island as the cards under that are labeled Fire Island. Is that correct?
Thanks!

It is Fire Island, not Fight Island.
Rex Bacchus is an official card that was created to raise money for Rex, who was fighting (I THINK) cancer.
The Myron Reed cards are all different and represent his growth through his career. For Example, the third card (#22) is when he was (I THINK) middleweight champion in MLW.
I am pretty sure that there is only the two Gordon Smack cards. The second card is in FA3, not FA2.

How can you tell the three Myron Reed cards apart. I assume the art, but I only have one.

Myron has 3 cards. He commissioned them himself, but I believe I found some going through some stuff this weekend. They are different art, but also stats as well. The one above is the v3. The V2 card I think has blonde hair and the first one is different from those. I need to do some inventory and update the store with things, so bear with me. Yes Smack is the ICON card, but is in FA 3. Only 2 cards. Gordon was supposed to be the ICON card, but as I was preparing FA3, I subconsciously put him in with that. Chris designed the card as the winner of previous ICON, and with FA 3 being the fan created edition, I inadvertently included him there. Rex was a fundraiser card. I can see if I have any more, if not, I think they were printed with some of the Rankings cards for Fight Passes, so I can check there. I don't have an actual list of the BF Protos, but I can certainly let you know which ones were in it. I don't have that in front of me, but can get it. Fight (Fighter) Island was a red herring by Scoop before the set came out. I think it was listed as that ahead of time before everyone knew the real name of the set. Lastly, I want to thank JJ Strife for his studious recording and record keeping, I appreciate that a ton, as I am not that organized and not sure we'd ever have a list if I were to do it, at least not such a comprehensive one.

Thanks for the update. Will definitely jump on the two Myron Reed cards I don’t have if they come back in stock. And agree that the spreadsheets have been invaluable. The only thing I think they are missing is release dates (even if it was just month/year) to be a true historical record.

Never say I will not admit when I was wrong....Gordon does have a card in FA2 AND FA3. The FA3 is NOT a very good card stats-wise, especially compared to his FA2 card.

Here’s another question. Got the GLITTER sets today. Gamesmaster was in it. On the Official Cards list, she’s listed under Fight Pass 2017. Can I get a clarification of where she officially goes? I didn’t have her until I got GLITTER today. Thanks.

She was originally a pre-order of sorts for FP 17, but when I was putting Glitter together, I needed an extra card I think to even things out. In the early days things were shaky as far as me formatting things. I have a better grasp of it now.

First, I want to thank everyone for their kind words about what I do here. I'd always been interested in doing things like spreadsheets for random things, and I figured documenting the game, be it sets or weight divisions would be my helpful contribution. I guess I never re-named the Fire Island section at any point when it was revealed. I knew I saw it as "Fight Island" at one point, but as Konish said, it was a red herring teaser. There ARE 2 Gordon Smack cards. The first (the one that has G. in the name) is from the second Free Agents set. The second (more recent jobber version) was bundled with Free Agents 3. The Rex Bacchus card was the idea of my brother, who worked with him on the independents here in Florida. The card (along with a few wrestling shows down here) were ways to raise money before he tragically died in 2019 due to his cancer diagnosis. Lastly, he's all 3 Myrons that I have pictured together, just to share. Pictured in order of release, from V1 to V3. V1 being shipped at first with 2017 Fight Pass, along with Stacy Thibault (I THINK with Gran Cazador, if I remember it right) V2 was from that big Spring Training release a few years ago that had Continental Divide, Matt Cross (and his GFP equivalent Popeye Mulligan) and Anthony Greene (and HIS GFP equivalent V.H.S.) with V3 being released in the same special edition wave as "Outlandish" Zicky Dice.
