What are your favorite varient cards?
Pulled this Persis C14 from my Enterprise 4 box today.I have not checked ebay yet to see what the others look like.But it has two separate colors,a silver inlay with a wine colored overlay.The silver does have about five raised "bumps" on it a swell.The wine color has a raised border running along the top part,as well as around the hole.



Added a second pic for a larger version.

Don't know... I do have that one. I think it might be similar to yours, but the pic is too tiny to tell for sure.

Upon suggestion by Redemption:



£9 on Ebay back in March. It's an unusual card and I've never seen another like it. Not clear whether the extra bit is ribbon (as seen in the mesh part of Jool's outfit), a cardboard shaving, or something else.

Got a cool Alias S2 variant - PW10 (Camo Pants) with the word "Ranch" in the middle... Now have to find out how common the variants were/are... Will probably be trading it....

Another of our members has this card with Smoke in the patch. He showed it to me at Philly last year. Still cool because you know they had to center the few out there that are like that.

Another cool varient. I just sent in for Jack O. auto from the Osbournes. He did many varients and mine came back yesterday.

He wrote "smile" and then drew a happy face and signed "Jack" (quotes were not on card) Cool enough to keep in the collection I think.

After seeing the stitch holes I decided to go over mine again.
And the first one I checked...stitch marks woohooo.
It is from 24 season 1.
The stitch marks are close to the top all the way across.
I hope it shows.



I liked it a lot spider! Big Grin

Nope.. that's Space Cowboys you're thinking of.

This movie doesn't dwell that firmly in reality. Big Grin

It's sort of a fifties trucker stop/diner set in space with pirates and terminator type androids out to take over earth. Big Grin

My favorite varient isn't a piecworks but an auto.. the charmed p3 A11 Billy Drago as Barbas autograph.. I love that he took the time to write something besides his name on all the cards and there are AT LEAST 50 different versions.. I also think that some of them are meant to go together to form a longer phrase or poem.. He obviously took alot of time to think about what he was writing..

Variants are a nice surprise if I pull them, but I honestly don't hunt them down. I only have 3 PW variants.. Buffy Season 7 Rachel's pants with blood spatter, Buffy Big Bads Warren's jacket with stitching, and Women of Sunnydale Drusilla's dress - the top portion with a little star/flower embroidery.

Here's a couple of Enterprise 4 costumes I got from 2 boxes.

The T'pol one puffs out of the card (c4)



and the Raakin one has a cool hole in it (you can just see the net backing - hopefully shows up on scan)(c15)



took a bit of editing but got there in the end Smile
