Card Version Detail
On the back of every U.S. card is a number that represents the card item and card
version. The first design of a card that's printed is .00, the second version,
such as a change from orange to green, or adding a printed warning instead of
a separate warning sticker, is .01 and so on. Many carded figure collectors
don't consider their collection complete unless they have every carded version
made.

Case Numbers
Wondering what it means when somebody refers to the new wave of figures
coming in an 69605.04 case? Here's a photo of the 69605.04 box. So far,
each case has had 16 carded figures, with a couple that only had 12.
Kenner releases figures in waves that always include mature figures and
new figures. Each box has an assortment number followed by a .xx number
that distinguishes the contents. Collectors like to know what the case
numbers are so that the contents can be determined without opening the
boxes.
