I have not seen this addressed elsewhere, but I was curious as to the nature of the race cards in the core races deck. Is the primary differences of two similar race cards the art included? Is there any difference in the mechanics or flavor text between two cards of the same race?
For example, what is different between the Apoc High-bred cards of "Black-Op" and "Barnabus"?

Lumberklik's right...
LK's spot on here - the only difference in two Apoc High-bred Race cards is the art. We did this for a very specific reason: we wanted to inspire folks and we wanted to solve an age-old problem of gaming - not having a character portrait. We wanted folks to get the Race cards, thumb through them and pick the image that inspires them - "WOW! That guy is cool, I want to play him!", and it also gives you an instant image of your character. This helps in describing your character, but also picking their Powers. ;)
Currently each race features the same stats and UP costs, so every Klik Roller card has the same game information on the back. That provides the basic foundation from where the character is built up, adding aspects and powers until you're at or near the desired UP total, leaving enough room for any swap buffer.
The illustration on each card is different, and the name of the card reflects this. Many of the cards have been written up as Hebdomadal Personas while others have become iconic character decks ready to play right out of the box.

What's a High Bred's favorite soft drink? 7 UP, but only if there's room in the Swap Buffer
