Did this UK company do anything other than D-Day and that wonderful Sherlock Holmes card set in the early 2000s ?

I recall they had 2 promos for a Sherlock Series 2 that never came out, and they are very hard to find

I'm almost sure CMA did Hammer Horror sets.

They did two Hammer sets. Entombed, including six autograph cards and a seventh one at the '99 Memorabilia show, and Behind The Screams, which just had some chase sets, no autos.

I think it was them who did the 9-card 40th Anniversary factory set as well.

You are all correct !

For years I wondered if Sherlock Holmes Series 2 ever came out. NSU used to list it as "just released" on its calendar, but I think this was an error

And like I said, the 2 promos for Series 2 are VERY tough to find, in my experience. I never saw them for sale. I believe that I got them directly from CMA with an order, years ago

Two series, "Premier" in 1997 and "Millennium 2000" (aka "Another Fine Card Set") in 2001.

Back in the day, CMA/RiverWye distributed a catalog with photos & pricing thru the mail. I have one somewhere - its a great little reference book.

Jeff,

There were also some Laurel and Hardy preview sets by the UK Fan Club that I do not believe you list. Please contact me for info !

Good Morning

For those that may have forgotten and as I came across these this morning filed away in the wrong binder I thought I would post scans of the two Hammer Horror Behind the Screams Series Two promo cards.

I've been watching for the Series 2 promos over the past couple of months. They are not always available but if you keep your eyes open, they pop up rather regularly. I've seen two pairs sell so far this year with one pair having sold just a few days ago.
