Terrific!
I can tip in a bit with this set by showing the uncut sheet, available through the Upper Deck website for basically 500 of those points cards that were found one per pack in series 1 & 2. The codes had to be entered manually, one-by-one. Given how rife with errors this particular set was, I found it astonishing they would offer an uncut sheet of it as a redemption prize as opposed to shredding any overages immediately so as to get rid of the remaining evidence of an obvious rush job.

The sheet was mailed flat between sturdy cardboard pieces, so the package was huge, with good care taken by UD customer service to prevent damage in transit. The only other MM related prize available for redemption was the 2007 Series 1 preview folder that obviously had not sold out its 1000 set run at SDCC. The preview folder required only 15 of the point cards, if I'm remembering correctly, so a real bargain given that those preview sets quickly appreciated in value and have sold for $100 or more for well over a decade now.

Both the sheet and the folder were limited to one per account, and fairly briefly, to the point where I got one of each item before they were gone, leaving only CCG promo cards from "Marvel Vs." and "Warcraft" to use the remainder of my points on. The entire points/reward program was eliminated shortly after.
