My friend bought the D&D Spellbook cards for the paladin class.  He found that there are major typos in the cards.  None of the spells that require concentration say that they need concentration.  I looked at the product listing and it shows one of the spells that require concentration, Compelled Duel, and it does not say concentration in the duration like it does in the PH.  Here is the link:  http://www.miniaturemarket.com/catalog/product/view/id/41133/s/gf973905/

 

It looks like it is an issue with spells for all classes.  In the images in this link, I can see examples of spellbook cards where the duration should say, "concentration", but they don't.  http://wanderingdragon.com/2015/05/26/dd-spellbook-cards-at-the-wandering-dragon/

You bought a first printing of the set. They did not mark any of the concentration spells in the first printing of any of the sets.

The first printing didn't have concentration explicitly written on them for space reasons. However, the second printing has a 'C' icon in the duration field to mark spells that require concentration.

When buying the cards, there is a 'version 2' label next to the barcode on the second print run.
 

As far as the first printing goes, any spell that say, "Up to X" in it's duration IS a concentration spell. Otherwise they simply say Instantaneous, 1 minute, 1 hour, etc.

(Off the top of my head, there are only a few spells with variable durations that aren't concentration spells eg. Thaumaturgy and Astral Projection.)

 

I hope you still find the cards useful, despite the omission.

I actually had a problem with the cleric cards of the second printing. I haven't checked if it's on more than just Spiritual Weapon, but that one is marked as requiring concentration when the actual spell doesn't. Seems they over compensated a bit.
