Mutant Ooze & Sewer Cover cards

[Bigfoot]

I just completed my collection of common and gold 2k3 cards, and am now in search of some of the rarer insert cards.

I need all 10 Sewer Cover cards,
All 8 Mutant Ooze cards,
and the Donatello Emerald Card.

Please PM me if you can help me with any of this, I am sure we can work something out. Thanks.

Oooh, I've got tons of those things.

I'll dig out my stash and throw you a PM. :)

What is the Donatello Emerald Card?

What is the Donatello Emerald Card?

If I remember correctly, the Emerald Cards were special promotional cards obtainable when you bought an entire box of the cards. I have one, but I can't recall who it is.

I have been trying to complete this collection for a while and have found out quite a bit...
There were actually 3 variations...Silver, Gold, and Emerald.
The silver ones were like a common card, then the gold inserts were randomly inserted in packs. The gold parallels look just like the common card accept the name on the bottom and logo are gold foil. I can post pics later...

The emerald cards... ohhhh, ahhhhh... are a 4 card set, were limited to 7500 and are serial numbered. I have 2,3, and 4, so I am guessing number 1 is Donatello. The front of each card looks just like a common card accept the foil is green. The back has the card number and a brief bio about the character. I can also show pics of that later...

As for the Ooze and Sewer Cover cards, I have only seen them on ebay. I bought about 10 of the hobby boxes and didn't get any. What's the deal with that? I got all the checklists, and it says they are part of the set, and the box said "randomly inserted with odds of 1 per box".

Well thats all I can think of for now, please help me if you can.

Were your boxes factory sealed? It sounds like you're getting screwed over. You definitely should have had at least one of each in a box. Both the Mutant Ooze and Sewer Cover cards were REALLY easy to find without opening a pack - The Mutant Ooze cards made the pack significantly thicker than a regular pack and the Sewer Cover cards made the pack "unbendy." If the box wasn't factory sealed, the seller could easily have swapped out the packs.

Unfortunately, I have not had luck in finding the stash of these that I thought I had. I've only found my stash of chase cards for the "The Shredder Strikes" set. :ohwell:

I bought them personally from ToysRUs on clearance, all sealed and new.

I got the 3 of 4 emerald cards, but no luck with these at all...

Ooooh. Were they full-sized hobby boxes, or smaller retail boxes? TRU wasn't ever part of my run for buying the cards, so I don't know what they were carrying.

Bummer, dude. :(

I bought countless individual packs and received a factory sealed hobby box as a gift... never got any of the chase cards aside from the Emerald card.

I've never even seen the "Shredder Strikes" cards. They didn't carry them at all in this area.

Gee, that's so weird. When those were released I still lived in Minnesota, land of 10,000 Targets. I hopped around to all of the local Targets and sniffed out the chase cards, at least one from each box, at each store. Each store received two boxes, so the cards added up pretty quick.

I never saw those in stores, either. I got all of those through eBay and trades.
