Looking to work some kind of trade we can discuss but im collecting various print runs.
Will teach you to sort in hopes i can acquire missing pieces… ty!
The following are very helpful…
Loupe
Blacklight
Strong flashlight
Obv prices would vary depending on cards. Pm or comment if interested.



These are just some examples of pages.
If you create a guide of what you are looking for I think that would be helpful for your pursuit. Loupe, Blacklight, and a strong flashlight, is strong ask, but I think most people (myself included) would be willing to help. People are less likely to sign up for a nebulous task. Just my 2 cents

If youre willing to learn, ill teach you.
This is essentially the guide. +/- is the magenta layer angle of 15 degrees up or down. I’m missing various cards of each set
Base 2000
Seperate + and - backs then sort by blacklight. HP on uk or aus is much dif from usa as usa has little dots around the red. Best way to sort is by angle then UV
Jungle basically sort the -15 backs. Belgium has the missing shading error, usa has orange front borders and either glows(usa3) or doesnt glow(usa2) on the back yellow. Aus is a vibrant glow on the back and is printed on cardstock similar to belgiums stuff. If the cards have a +15 front and -15 back(not belgium error) than the ink will match usa2 with an older front plate, just another run im hunting. Any remaining +15/+15 unlimited can be hit with a blacklight for a nonreactive(dark) print that im looking for as well.
Fossil will have usa2,usa3, UK equivelant and a belgium(carta mundi usa?) equivelant all with - backs. All can be verified by blacklight. Carta mundi stock is very unique.

Sorting through ebay for the “e” shadow error was fun. I think I found some, they are in the mail now.

Do all fossil packs have declining angled dots and glowing backs for all countries?
@OCDCompletist ?
This the guy for that question
I only collect English booster packs and confirmed the following magenta dots on each of the below Fossil pack variations:
Fossil (1st Ed.) = 45
Fossil (Unlimited - Thick Font w/ Wide Margin Back) = 45
Fossil (Unlimited - Thick Font w/ Narrow Margin Back) = 45
Fossil (Unlimited - Thin Font) = +15
Fossil (Unlimited - Hanger-Style w/ No Outlined Logo & Dark Maroon Text on Back) = -15
Fossil (Unlimited - Hanger-Style w/ Outlined Logo & Dark Maroon Text on Back) = -15
Fossil (Unlimited - Hanger-Style w/ Outlined Logo & Black Text on Back) = -15
Fossil (3rd Print / Red Logo - Australia) = 45
