Hi, I have a question, if anyone can help me I'd appreciate it. I aquired a set of '96 Viper 1st Strike cards for the Chad Little, plan to sell the rest. While I was going through the cards, I noticed that the viper on the upper left of the card had a black face on the #42 Jeff Gordon card, while all of the other cards in the set have silver faces. It doesn't have "Black Mamba" written on it, and the card isn't ser. #'d, so I'm just wondering if it's common to this particular card. Thanks in advance, hope to hear from someone, Kevin

I just looked at the #42 1st strike that I had, and the head is silver. There are no markings on it?? Maybe a picture or scan of the front and back would help someone. I have never heard of this before though.

Hi A lot of the 96 viper cards were sent out missing a lot of the silver foil.
It is just an error. I have quite a few missing various parts of the silver Hope this helps mason

Thanks to all who have responded to my post, and thanks for the offers, I'll be selling it as soon as I find out more about it, it doe's seem to be a real strange one. I haven't included a scan of the card's back, as it is identical to the other 2 Gordon cards in the set (except for the card number, of course.) Doe's anyone know anything more about this card? Thanks, Kevin

Yep, I have a couple of Gordon's Viper cards missing the silver foil that are not black mamba's. I'm glad this question was asked as I have wondered about the same thing. Thanks for the info.
