So I saw this post on the BGG forums, thought I would repost it here, see if any more information or examples might come to light. It seems that, as far as we have examples, the alternate art cards might all have an off color backing that makes them stick out among the other cards. Anyone else have any experience with this?

They may have an off color backing, but if you use sleeves it shouldnt matter.

Yeah, although I think a lot of people like transparent sleeves so it might be an issue for some.

I however would be quite happy to get one of these alternate art cards and just frame it instead of playing with it! Awesome art, and there is a pic of the alt Crypsis art on BGG too.
