Identify original physical printings
Numbered base #51–75 are short prints, not replacements for cards #1–25. Blue Metallic SPs are numbered /199. Silver /99, Green /50, Purple /25 and Gold 1/1 are different finishes.
The two base forms use different background patterns. A pattern change does not create a new character photograph. Image variants carry separate suffixes such as SW-75A, SW-75B and SW-75C.
Signed battle medallions and unsigned medallions are separate Masterwork cards. Original High Tek Armor, Living and Pilots insert codes are also distinct. Each record links to character collecting pages when its printed title identifies the character.
Masterwork and High Tek share familiar Star Wars characters but have different original physical card stock, finishes and manufacturer programs. Do not substitute earlier 2015 editions, standard inserts or another parallel for a specific card photograph. The completed records here retain the exact available printed card numbers and clearly distinguish unsigned originals from signed-card subjects.
