I can sympathize with you on that. I would like to see an image if there is any noticible difference in them though. I'm still trying to chase down cards v31 thru v37 on the US VHS set and have had absolutely no luck in tracking down any more of the DVD variants.
I wonder how many interational variations were made, assuming that Tattoox's Korean cards are not printed in English.

I've said for years that I've forgot more about X-Files collecting than most will ever know.

I just pulled out my album of XF video cards and can't remember where they all came from.

I Korean cards are in English and slightly larger than business cards.

Of my European VHS/DVD cards I have 3 from Germany and 3 from Mexico in German and Spanish.

I have 3 duplicates in one sleeve that I'm not sure where they came from, but all 3 are one thinner stock and 2 of them are slightly larger than all the others.

Found 4 that where put a few sleeves further back in the album. Don't know why I did that, but the format on the backs are slightly different.

So, in addition to those 10, I have 11 from Europe.

Then there's the 8 cards (postcard size) from an exclusive UK VHS release.

8 cards approx. 7x4 that I think came from Australia. Then 4 of those were also in a set from France in French.

A couple of DVD cards from US DVDs.

And there's various cards in the album that match some of the video cards, like bookmarks. Cards for Playstation and computer games.

Oh, I just found a 3 cards dvd set that I have no idea where it come from.

Wow, that is impressive. It sounds like there are a few cards from each country where any of the tapes and discs were sold. Makes me think that there should be some French and Japanese versions out there somewhere as well.

I doubt that I will try to actively pursue the foreign cards, but if you decide to part with any of them (as unlikely as that may be Smile ) I would be interested in hearing about it.

I said that that one set is in French. The smaller cards I've only found in German and Spanish. Interesting story. I bought those cards from Germany, and assumed the Spanish ones came from Spain. I was wrong. The seller told me they lived in Mexico for two years. That card had a long journey.

Ah, yes. Well, somedays I read faster than I comprehend. Sorry I missed the line about the French cards. Smile The story about the Spanish card is interesting though. I wouldn't have expected that either.

There was also the cards in the were in the X-Files videos available from WH Smiths. These were more postcard sized and I think there was only eight in total (2 per video) and numbered 1A, 1B up to 4B.

Yes, that's the one I mentioned as the UK box set.

You think if you buy the complete DVD series of seasons, you would get all the cards.
I forgot about these for some time as I was busy with my life. Now, not so much. The reason I got back into collecting last time was, that I was bored and lonely and needed something to do. Well, same applies now.
I believe there were 42 cards plus a promo for the VHS collection. I also noticed I'm missing 2 cards. V.33 and V.34. Anyone know what episodes these were in?
Thanks, Ace

I got the full 42 card (43 if you include the movie card) U.S. VHS card set maybe 15 years ago for maybe $35. Always considered it one of my best purchases in this hobby.
It’s a great set with fantastic artwork. Shame there were not more cards for cover more episodes.

I found the two cards you are looking for in the boxed set pictured below.

The first tape contained the cards PIPER MARU (V.31) and APOCRYPHA (V.32)

The second tape contained the cards PUSHER (V.33) and JOSE CHUNG (V.34) - the cards you need

The third tape contained the cards WETWIRED (V.35) and TALITHA CUMI (V.36)

Hope this helps.

Do you want to part with them? Also there is a promo for this many include with these. I saw a variant on Ebay but they didn't know anything about them. Let me know about V.33 and V.34. Thanks Ace
