Missing subject

Judge Dredd has also had several card collections outside of the two card games listed. I am currently in possession of over 100 solely collectable cards mostly focused on the comics publication history. These cards are like other comic card collections at the time with one side featuring art with the other telling about the comic or art featured with "PROG #" letting you know where it goes in the collection.

The series starts with The Cursed Earth storyline and includes others such as Judge Death Lives, The Apocalypse War, and Necropolis. PROG 90 in the series lists 5 other accompanying series and the cards in those collections, however because of the detailed artwork the list is printed over and only the series name being in bold text the individual card names can be hard to read.

Death Dimensions 1: Judge Death, Fire, Fear, and Mortis.

Death Dimensions 2: Judge Death, Fire, Fear, and Mortis.

Although they feature the same art one of the Death Dimentions series are foiled with a white background and golden font down the right side instead of silver font down the left.

Legends Original Artwork Cards: 13 cards listed.

Sleep of the Just: page 1-6. "page" is not capitalized.

Movie Preview Cards: Judge Dredd, ABC War Robot, and Mean Machine.

The Movie Preview Cards are not to be confused with the Movie Card Collection. Despite both using the same photo of Sylvester Stallone's Judge Dredd the 3 preview cards are all partially transparent with the subject being cut out from the movie background, given a clear one, a thin colored transparent boarder and a similar colored name tag at the bottom with a Judge badge in the left corner of the tag. Because these are preview cards they aren't perfect with the name tags having several problems. The Judge badge is hard to make out the finer detail of and the "Judge Dredd" text on it is too dark to contrast with the black line behind it making it hard to read. All three name tags have a color gradient that gets darker at the ends however Dredd's card is the only one with clear to make out text. ABC War Robot and Mean Machine's text does not consistently contrast enough with the gradient to make them easy to read at a glance. I do not know if this is a printing error with my card or because these are preview cards but my Mean Machine's card boarder is colored an obvious red while his name tag appears to be closer to a purple or dark pink.

A portion of these cards and series as well as others can be found at the link below from the trading card database.

I was wrong

Sorry the misinformation in my first post I was gifted these cards and don't know much about them.

After a search on ebay for the rest of the foil Death Dimensions card series I discovered that the coloring and legibility issues I mentioned about the 3 Movie Preview Cards might actually be problems with my cards only.

Also I don't know if this warrants mentioning but according to this article I found the old manufacturing prosses for foil cards can cause a specific printing error where two foil sheets meet. This might explain the prevalence of that error in the series compared to modern foil cards
