Ok, so apparently there are two versions of this set. There was the original set, first released in 2003, that only had 52 cards. I haven't confirmed what happened, but I'm gonna guess there was some legal action taken against starzbehindbarz.com because very soon after the initial set release, a different set was released that now had 53 cards. Additionally, 16 people on cards in the 1st version were removed and replaced with 16 new people, plus the 53rd card which is the Joker card featuring Michael Jackson. The 1st version card appears to be easily identified from the back of the card. On the 1st version, the back has the logo and the website address. The 2nd version (listed here) has the logo and a description of the company.
Also, the people from the 1st version that remained in the 2nd version had different text on their cards and it looks like (from the ones I've seen so far) the card value changed.
Example: I have both versions of Robert Van Winkle (aka Vanilla Ice). The first version is the 10♣ and the 2nd version is the 10♠
I have what appears to be lists of the 1st version only cards and have identified the 2nd version replacements. I used the Wayback machine to view www.starzbehindbarz.com to see the lists for both versions, although I have not identified all of the suits and numbers of the 1st version. Still working on that.
My question is, how to add this. I'm thinking it should be a separate set (2003 Starz Behind Barz - 1st version and 2003 Starz Behind Barz - 2nd Version) since they have a different number of cards and the cards that carry over are not identical in each set (numbering and text).
Thoughts? I'm trying to put together a full checklist for the 1st version and can add it however it is deemed best.

Turning off trading because my collection is in complete disarray after moving and I don't know when I can get it organized.
