I had gotten it back in the day from opening a box (I don't think I have that box anymore) and a ton of individual packs mostly from my LCS. I forget how many packs I went through or how much I ended up spending. Long story short I do have a full set and duplicates of most of the cards. The one card that took me ages to get and the cause of going through a ton of packs was #16 Peggy Flemming. <br /><br />Not sure if I have the 2 variants that I know about. I haven't checked. You mentioned the #40 mirror image variant. There is also a Mary Lou Retton #27 variant with the back head shot photo I have heard about. I saw someone post about it a few months back forget if it was a blog or on a forum. They showed the two backs. One variant has the competition picture (the one that the Trading Card DB shows and the one I'm fairly certain I have) and the other has a more "recent" head shot(from when they made the cards).
