Apparently there are meant to be Monster Cards within the Greyhawk From The Ashes boxed set. Can anyone elaborate? Piccies? My set appears to be missing these.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

I don't have a copy anymore, but I seem to recall the box coming with several 8.5" x11" sheets of thin cardstock with adventure ideas on them or something to that effect.

I've noted two books, 14 numbered ref cards and 6 titled cards (all doubled sided if I remember correctly.

   From the Ashes: Atlas of the Flanaess (FTAA)
   From the Ashes: Campaign Book (FTAC)
   From the Ashes: References Card (FTAR#)(1-14)
   From the Ashes: The Beckoner in the Dark (FTA:TBITD)
   From the Ashes: Brainstorm (FTA:B)
   From the Ashes: Dark Heart of Oak (FTA:DHOO)
   From the Ashes: Honest Bandits (FTA:HB)
   From the Ashes: Slavers By Midnight (FTA:SBM)
   From the Ashes: Tamara Belongs to Me (FTA:TBTM)

They aren't cards, they are hole-punched monster pages like that of the Monstrous Compendium sets of the time.

Pages include:
Animus (double sided)
Dwarf, Derro (double sided)
Losel/Lyrannikin
Varrangoin (double sided)
Thassaloss (double sided)

It should have two 96pg books, 3 fold-out maps, 20 card-stock sheets, 5 MC sheets (which by my notes I'm missing one).
I've also noted mine as having a 1992 fall/winter catalog, TSR Magazine subscription sheet and response card.

What he said above. Mine does not have the catalogue. But I do also have a few sheets of plain hole-punched paper (for DM notes perhaps), with a grey border top and bottom.

Well, seems my minty copy doesn't have the monster sheets (reported to me by a recent buyer on eBay). Shucks.

If it makes you feel better, Ian, they are one of the most "missing" items I've ever seen (or not seen, as the case may be). I rarely see a FTA set with these included. I suspect a lot of them end up in random MC binders.

I wouldn't mind, but I openned the shrinkwrap myself.

Or an original factory error. That's another risk to buying shrinked items (if you're going to open them).

Mine has them, along with some blank hole-lunched pages.

If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.

Mayhaps. That's what I'm assuming at this point.
