Do I understand you correctly that you wish me to add scans of the reversed layer token cards? The problem is that the difference can not be seen on scans, so showing the cards twice does not help very much.

What he's talking about has nothing to do with the glossy side of the card. It seems there's a light and dark version of each of these.

I do have a question about these tokens now.
Are you certain these are all true Crazy Clown produced cards, and not very good fakes?
A short while ago, Ralph had posted that he had spoke or emailed with Aria, or someone at Crazy Clowns. Is he, or someone else able to communicate with C.C.s and confirm if they had problems in their printing runs or not?
Since Crazy Clowns had a much smaller printing run then WoTC, then I would imagine that they would have been able to keep a much closer eye on the condition of their tokens.
With so many fakes appearing, and all of a sudden so many tokens coming out of Singapore, I would really have to question the validity of these tokens, and think some kind of confirmation with C.C.s should be made before too much discussion or thoughts are made on these tokens.

I have had a look at the sample scan which compares the dark and the light version (thank you, dragsamou). I tend to wait a little more until more precise statements can be made about the extent of variations and the range of affected cards, but of course this information is supposed to be added. At the current point, I do not think a separate set of scans is needed, though.

Are we still taking about two different things or four.
Light Glossy Front
Dark Glossy Front
Light Glossy Back
Dark Glossy Back
Are all the Glossy backs Light? That's the only thing I've seen. All of my dark tokens have Glossy fronts.

Hi Bigfatkitty.
For me,I only talk about the 2 Variations that I know of and that I have the ones from the 7th Series,since my
4 Tokens from the 6th are of the same type:
Light Glossy Front/Light Glossy Back.Cobra Left.
Dark Glossy Front/Dark Glossy Back.Cobra Right.
I can add extras scans,it will just show the same difference like the Cobra.Let me know,if you need extra
examples.Now does any members have others variations like:
Light Glossy Front/Dark Glossy Back.
Dark Glossy Front/Light Glossy Back.
Thanks for helping.

on the same note, at this one store I have noticed a bunch of revised cards without a glossy front or back. Also, these cards' front colors are very faded and screwy.

Your description of Revised sounds like 99.9% of my Revised: very faded, washed out, and yucky! Of the 4,500 English-language Revised I have, perhaps less than a dozen have bright, distinct colors. Now those I might consider rarities. I always figured they were printed at a different plant outside the U.S., and my access to them was limited simply because of my central U.S. location.

the ones I'm talking about are worse than normal ones. The front feels not like normal revised cards. the print is extra grainy.

Okay, well this is a little off topic, but has anyone else noticed how many Angel tokens are on Ebay lately? And right now there are a bunch also. Wonder what percentage of them are for real
