There was no card released on January 1
I agree with that. January 1st was a Sunday. So the card for Sunday was released on the Prior Friday.
But it has been a long time practice, that on a Friday, three cards are released.
The Card for that Friday, The Card for Saturday, and the Card for Sunday.
So while January 1st card was Released on Friday December 30th of 2022
It is still the Intended card for Sunday January 1st.
If you Sort by Release date, you Find that in General ,
There are no cards that have a release date when the date falls on a Saturday or a Sunday.
Only dates the Fall on Monday through Friday have a release date.
But we all Know that on Friday, there are generally three cards released, one for Friday, One intended for Saturday and One intended For Sunday.
The Store still Shows the Cards in Order,
So you can tell which card is the Friday card, Which Card is the Saturday card and which card is the Sunday card.
But yes, your statement is correct, in that
card f1226, the card for January 2nd, is the First Released in 2023.but the Card intended for January 1st, was released on December 30th.
