I have this card, but I'm not sure where to list it. #166 on the checklist is Edgerrin James, and it has markings on it that are from the factory, because they appear under the gloss of the card. Would this just be the Galvanized version of the base set card, or was it special because it looks like it was never supposed to be released with the markings it has on it.

From ebay: "This is the Wiley Card that was pulled from production because he didn't qualify for the draft until the next year. The card has a Pink "X" marked on it, as the NFL instructed Collector's Edge to make this mark on the card to help prevent it from being re-sold." My guess would be a variation of the James card, #166 (?)

That's what I was thinking because it is listed as a variation in the base set, but I've never seen a picture of the regular card so I didn't know if it had the "X" on it as well. Sounds like I should just list it as a variation like in the base set. Thanks!
