this question is about the north american version of the collector's edition (the one numbered from 1 to 62,000 i think?). amazon's description says:

"Baldur's Gate II: Collector's Edition includes four custom CD-ROMs, featuring the complete Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn in a jewel case. Additionally, the Collector's Edition features a special bonus disc containing exclusive weapons and armor as well as tracks from the original game soundtrack; a cloth map displaying the Kingdom of Amn in vivid color; a set of eight collectible Character Trading Cards (one of two sets randomly distributed, 16 trading cards in all); and a Black Isle Studios writing tablet, all appropriately ensconced in a hinged, book-style serialized box."

now some people claim they have 16 trading cards in their collector's edition. if this is true, how did it happen?  did they buy 2 copies that had different sets of 8 cards and just put them together? if you have a collector's edition, please help me solve this puzzle.

Gosh. I don't even remember there being collectible cards at all-- never mind whether there are differences in the North American versus the European version. Did I really answer this question? Evidently it was before my brain became addled.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

OP asked me to chime in (a while ago, I only just saw the pm). I wrote the text for those cards back in the day. Dug out my own set, and there are 16 plus the Black Isle Studios logo card. The picture linked above appears to be missing the troll lair. The numbers below are arbitrary, they didn't have an order.
1. Aerie
2. Korgan Bloodaxe
3. Imoen
4. Nalia de'Arnise
5. Haer Dalis
6. Jan Jansen
7. Jaheira
8. Keldorn Firecam
9. Githyanki
10. Stone Golem
11. Troll
12. Umber Hulk
13. The Planar Sphere
14. Crypt of the Demilich
15. A Troll Lair
16. Temple of Lathander
17. Black Isle Studios logo

I will caution, though, that I got my cards from a pile they sent us, not from a boxed copy. I suppose it's possible that they didn't include the lair card even though it was printed, but that seems unlikely.

Yeah, that's the one. But I wouldn't have been surprised if it was different than I guessed. Interplay tended to spring things like this on us. I can't explain why the European version might claim to have more cards, for example. These are the only ones I wrote up. But some promotions we never even knew about until they were over.

You want to talk about a bughunt for obscure BG merch, there used to be a smith in Calgary who ran Valentine Armories (he's making armor for Hollywood these days), and I was idly browsing their gallery a bunch of years back and was stunned to see a shield bearing the Baldur's Gate skull and tears logo. At the time they said it'd been made for an official contest that I never even heard of. That's the grail right there. Anyone know where that ended up, I wonder?
