This card series has a few more differences than standard set modifications. The rarity and series counter are light blue. Ultimate monsters cards brought monsters from the classic era into the younger viewership. The Doctor they fought is on the card twice, one anywhere where the image allows and the other below the series name on the base of the card. BBC 2008 on the back.
