Good point on the errata.
Yes, same number, as noted. I didn't mention that we did look at the Dot code (first time for me) and they were identical in their presentation on the e-Reader (no differences...hey that thing is pretty cool).

a side issue with the 'play as written' approach is that in subsequent printings ie the rest of the world outside USA they may all be single retreat.
This increases the value to collectors. Also they may be impossible to get outside the USA. Anyone send me some free retreating Marils? PULEEZE

I don't think we can automaticaly assume that the card is an error. We have not had confirmation from PUI about what happened. In the research I've done, there seems to be some evidence that all cards with ID 3VE-5RY-J3X seem to be free retreat, while cards with at least 2 other reported IDs (3VE-5RY-STD & 3VE-5RY-OSD) have a retreat cost of 1. Unfortunately, the meaning of that ID seems to be unknown. It seems that there are no differences in the dot code scan. Both types of card come out of the same box, which would indicate that both types come from the same print run. Will we ever solve this mystery?
