Tip Cards - general advice request
I picked up some old Yugioh Tip cards, with the idea of making a full set of each, I've gone through them and have split them up into releases based in their card code, which presents in 3 different ways
DR1-EN## (dark revelations 1?) DB1-EN## (dark beginnings 1?) DB## (unsure possibly dark beginnings 2?)
All cards appear legitimate from a Google search, however only the ones labelled DB## have the holographic sticker (unl silver version) in the bottom right of the card. And somewhat more surprisingly out of the 13 I currently own in the DB## code, only 12 of them have the sticker.
There is very little information available about how the set coding for the Tip cards works, anyone know any more about if these are legitimate with and without the holographic symbol, my best guess is that there is a difference between the 1st and unl prints
If anyone has collected, or knows more about these, I'd appreciate some information on how the set numbers work, how to check the legitimacy of tip cards and anything else worth imparting

PM, I believe I can help (For anyone possibly interested in the future):
Tip cards are a unique cards released in the 4 following sets
DR1-ENxx is Dark revelation vol.1
DR2-Enxx is Derk revelation vol.2
DB-Enxx is dark beginning 2
DBxx is actually dark beginning 1, this confusing set code is a big source of turmoil
There are 50 in each set, with 200 total tip cards in the tcg. There are actually more really idiosyncratic pieces in the ocg, but I assume for your sake tip cards is the only interest here.
Faking tip cards would be borderline insanity, as hardly anyone actually cares about these cards. I can say with high confidence all your cards are real. The DBxx ones do indeed have the silver sticker, I assume the 13th is a DB-en, which would be dark beginning, I suggest looking closer on that. As far as I know, only DBxx have the eye. They are number 1 to 50, with each set code. There is no such thing as 1st edition and unlimited in these sets, all of them are unlimited. If you have any more questions I will be happy to answer, hope this clears up some misconceptions with these lost relics of history.
