Fleer Ultra Reboot - Checklist

Note:

The checklist published in the magazine is wrong. The list of images changed between the time the ad was created and when the cards came out. Most of the names printed there did not make the final cut. The only things right in the magazine's checklist are the "KEY PLAYERS" (cards 1 through 9 and a half) and the description of the special cards (HOLOBLAST, CHROMIUM, and SUSPENDED ANIMATION).
See Joe's checklist or Steve's checklist for a full list.

Wayne Farmer (WayneOHere@compuserve.com) informs me there is an 8.5" x 11" promo sheet for the Reboot cards with pictures of 9 cards:

"Dragon Chase" does not appear part of the set any more. This closest I've seen is #78. "Battle to the Bone", #81. "Armor Clad Bob", and #C7. "Sir Bob". The labels to "Dot Matrix" and "Compu Boss" were switched; they printed wrong in the promo.
