Although the background of the Original 9 card appears white here, it is actually clear.
There are a few Original 9 cards without a number. According to Cyrk, the makers of the cards, these are production errors. Original 9 cards without numbers are extremely rare and are believed to be worth more than an Original 9 card with a number. Most of the unnumbered cards have a blue foil, but some collectors have reported spotting a few unnumbered red foil cards as well.
All Original 9 cards are limited in production and are very hard to find.
