Overlord deck card count

Hi folks,
After some time away from the game I dug out my Overlord deck .. I wanted to check the cards were all present so counted up a TOTAL of 124 cards ..
Is this the correct number?
The back of the box says the deck comprises 2 packs of 64 cards ?
Although all original discussion here on the forum talk about the deck being two packs of 60 cards ..
I'm either 4 cards short or have 4 cards too many ??
Can anyone give their deck a count up and confirm what they are coming in at?
Cheers
Jim
I guess the other way of checking is if anyone has a complete card list of that specific deck

To answer your question best, the Overlord Deck is primarily the same as (2) regular Command Card decks with 60 cards each. Hence 120 cards. However, when the Overlord Deck was first published, the AIR PACK expansion was currently in use and so to enhance the use of this particular expansion, an additional (4) Air Sortie cards were added to the Overlord Deck. The total cards then in the deck were 124.
I did read the overlay slide for the original packaging which mentioned (2) decks of 64 cards. I have all the original merchandise and at no time was I aware of an additional 4 cards. So I think your deck is complete and this may be more than likely a misprint.

Most helpful, thank you ... and confirms what i thought ..
That overlay sleeve on the expansion was really what threw me lol
How strange that after all these years since the expansion was released, I've only just now noticed this anomaly, (along with others it seems!).
It doesn't seem as though anybody made mention of it on the forum at the time, which is pretty remarkable!
Does anybody else recall an official mention of this misprint when the expansion came out ?

In addition, there was an invisible card which only I could see. I have great night vision too.
