Hi everyone, just thought I'd let you all know that I just listed one of the first run new Card from the Majestic Star in Gary Indiana. For those that arent aware of what happened there, here's a fast run down:
I was there for two days. One the first day I got two cards from the front players club counter in the lobby area. Then I went onto the boat and got two more. Nice looking cards. Just that easy. The next day I came back and did the same thing. Two from the lobby and two from the boat. When I got home, I looked at the cards and discovered that the first four cards had the printing like the original now obsolete red card. The cards I got on the second day had the printing format changed. The name had been made bigger and moved from the top right to the middle left. The number had been made larger and moved and then at the bottom where it originally just had a date of 1/15/03 was now changed to expires 1/15/04. So it appears that they had released the new issue of the cards before the new printing format was ready.
Below is the scan of all three. The bottom right is the old now obsolete red one. The bottom left is the new one with the print format like the original. The top left is the final product which is out now with the new print format. I thought it was kind of cool. I was in the right place at the right time (for once).
I have this card on ebay if anyone wants to take a look.
