You guessed correctly. Limited have orange titles. Unlimited have yellow titles and no copyright date. Standard has yellow titles and the 1995 copyright notice.

Copyright Violation allows you to bring a character into play that is orders of magnitude stronger than any other. It's only fair that there has to be some restriction on this, the restriction being that you have to draw both CV and the foreign card in question in order to play them. Using black-backed sleeves at least hides the fact that you are planning a Copyright Violation. By the way, there was a bit of a thread a year or two back about cool cards to use. I remember that On the Edge (Mythos) and Al Amarja (Illuminati) were mentioned. These are thematically appropriate if not the most deadly ways of using CV. +--------------------------+--------------------------------------+ | robin, co-ordinator | : W.S.
