Promos cards vs. their Normal Release

External Since: Jan 11, 2008 Posts: 3

Here is a list of Vampires that are listed as Promos -and- were
released during an expansion:

Baron, The
Duality **
Echo
Fatima al-Faqadi
Hesha Ruhadze
Kestrelle Hayes **
Lucita
Marcus Vitel
Sascha Vykos
Selena
White Lily **
Xaviar

Does anyone here remember or know which of these Promo cards can be
differentiated from their Expansion release?
Usually the Promo version wouldn't have the expansion symbol in the
top right corner of the card. However, I seem to remember around the
time of Fatima/Marcus/Lucita a Promo having an expansion logo. I also
seem to remember still being able to tell the difference because of
its exact location?

My memory is fuzzy, and when I looked through my collection, all I'm
finding is cards with expansion logos, proving nothing to me.

Note: The reason 3 of the cards up above have asterisks by them is
because I was able to find pictures on ebay of both versions (although
I'm not sure of each picture's source)

Also: I noticed that the Advanced Version of Hannibal is considered a
promo in the Full Card list, but is not listed on the Promo Card list

I have each of the promo copies of the vampires and not all of them
are easy to tell the difference from there pack copies.

I will list what I remember as there differences;

Fatima al-Faqadi Larger set symbol
Hesha Ruhadze Larger set symbol
Lucita Mine was slightly larger and darker then the one
from the set.
Xaviar Location of the clan symbol
Kestrelle Hayes Marked as crypt 4 instead of 5 and I believe is
missing the set symbol
Marcus Vitel One is glossy and one isn't
White Lily I believe is missing the set symbol
Duality I believe is missing the set symbol

The rest, I don't believe have a good means to determine the
difference between the promo and set copies.
