IF I'm understanding you correctly, we did number the Starfleet Finest cards in TNG Quotable like we numbered the Prop Cards from SG1-7.

It's fun, let me tell you

Ooh - very exciting ...

I really love this set.  With an auto and a costume in every box, plus all of the different chase cards, it's definitely worth the cost of the box.  If only other manufacturers would follow suit, we'd all be happy collectors!

Not to mention how much more interesting it is to open boxes with more than one thing to find in them

ya i love buying and knowing that its the one i want but with buying a box you get the thrill of maybe getting a really good card .with TNG set though i'm getting one box and then buyong the autos i want and costumes.not to mention the binder with auto card.so much better than topp's 9 card set !

I have opened my 6 cases and am short by a few autos for a master set

I did have one box with no auto or costume at all.

but it is a great set and I have listed a few things on ebay

i wonder how often that happens?do they put the auto/costume cards in by hand or does a machine do it and your box having neither does that mean there is a box with 2 costumes and 2 autos out there.that would be a good box to get.lol

I just wanted to post that I finally completed this set.   This set was harder to complete than any Artbox Harry Potter set.

I could still may get the different variations of Chris Bolson' s U.S.S. Enterprise SketchaFex cards, but for right now I'll settle for one version.

Really? Was the availability of cards just that difficult? Or did you try to get dual colour swatches for all the crew ?

It's easy to put together the costume set (9 cards) with black swatches from the uniforms.  But, if you want color swatches, it's very difficult.  There seem to be a good amount of Picard, Riker, and Wesley Crusher red.  The blue costumes -- Troi and Beverly Crusher -- are harder to find.  The worst ones are the gold costumes of Data, Worf, and Yar.  There are very few of those and they tend to be expensive.  Of course, the two-color swatches are the most expensive.

I've been slowly collecting this set since it was released, and I still don't have a gold costume.  I did manage to get all of the red costumes and one blue.  I've settled for black costumes for some of the cards.  From what I've read, there are people who are collecting two complete costume sets, one all black and one all color.

In some cases, it was the availability of the cards.  I had a hard time getting my last three autographs, Patrick Stewart, Majal Barrett and Famke Janssen.  The Starfleets Finest set of 9 was also difficult to get at a decent price (there was no way I was going to pay $45-50 each ).  And yes, I managed to get all color costumes, two of them having dual color swatches (Picard and Data).

The set consists of the following:

110 - Base Cards
9 - Space: The Final Frontier (1:5 Packs)
6 - The Quotable Star Trek: TNG Comic Books (1:14 Packs)
9 - TV Guide Covers (US Exclusive 1:40 Packs)
9 - The Captain's Women (International Exclusive 1:40 Packs)
9 - Starfleet's Finest (1:120 Packs)
9 - From the Archives Costume Cards (1:40 Packs)
24 - Autograph Cards (1:40 Packs)
1 - SketchaFex Cards (1:480 Packs) - Multiple Variations of the U.S.S. Enterprise
1 - Exclusive U.S. Case Topper Card
1 - Exclusive International Case Topper Card
1 - 1st Tier Multi-Case Incentive Card (1 for every 2 cases purchased)
1 - 2nd Tier Multi-Case Incentive Card (1 for every 6 cases purchased)
1 - Exclusive Collector's Album Card w/ Exclusive Autograph
4 - Promo Cards

Yeah, it was fun, frustrating at times, but fun none the less.   Your company did a good job on this set Sketchqueen.
