Yes, it's a "PE-" prefix. But, we can't see the front of the card (they are two different cards shown). The "Edition Limitee" cards have an "EL-" prefix. I wonder if the "PE" prefix is a special card or does it just stand for Prince Edward. And does the other card shown have a PE- prefix? All the other 2004-05 Extreme cards for different teams that I've found do not have any prefixes (except the Edition Limitee).

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

Thanks cigs, I have the same questions, we should go to the UN and demand that all card scans are front AND back!!!! I will add the set as numbers only as those sites probably had the same issues. It is very easy to add a prefix after the fact anyway.

YES!! All cards on ebay should be required to have front and back scans. And NO STOCK PHOTOS. That's why I won't buy from Burbank. When I asked them for a scan of the actual card I was thinking of buying, they said "we're too busy to scan every card we sell".

That last sentence is COMPLETE BS!!! I mean on Burbank's part, I'm not saying you are BS'ing us. I have never liked Burbank and completely refuse to buy anything from them. I haven't even had any contact with them for over a decade b/c they suck so bad! They obviously aren't too busy to make a single scan for a potential customer when they let so many cards without scans constantly ride on ebay/COMC/Beckett, etc. Burbank is one of the worst card shops out there and I STILL don't understand how they survive. They should have closed about 8-10 years ago. Apparently, there are still idiots out there that fall for the crap Burbank claims is worth more than what they want for it.

I have dealt with Burbank a couple times. I have found a couple things that they had that no one else had, and their prices were actually pretty good (on those items). I think they have a few others that I am looking for, but their prices were, in fact, just out of whack, and so I passed on those. Because of the extreme hit or miss experience with them, I don't really recommend them to anyone. However, I also wouldn't steer anyone away. I would caution people to be completely aware of what you want to purchase and set your price limit before perusing their inventory (which truly is impressive).

I have bought from them a cpl times as well as my collection is more important than price but it was not so far out of line I turned away. I do look there from time to time but never have anything I need (Ranford wise). I would not rush out to buy from them though as the to Canada shipping stung if I remember correctly.

I just remembered, they're the ones running the "Gem Collection 1 of 1" scam.
