I just came across this from another collector and admittedly know next to nothing about it or McFarlane's in general.

The item in question is a 1997 Manga Spawn Series 9 Clown (w/Violator Card Back), that looks similar to this:

This is what the Violator should look like with proper card:

The Violator card backs that show in the link and from what I have are matching UPC's ending in 11114. I looked around and couldn't find any specific examples of this. Is this a common error does anyone know, or maybe just the result of counterfeit/tampering? Remember I'm clueless here, so any bit of help would be much appreciated!
