Skyforce, Landforce, Seaforce -- I may be missing one of those cards. It seems like I sent one to Roxanne for an illustration in NSU and didn't ask for it back.

Coin Cards -- I'll have to go look at those to see what is in the envelopes. Maybe later today?

Spaceshots -- Those were distributed by the manufacturer, pretty widely I think. I've seen them signed and unsigned. The signed ones (like in the video) are not authentic autographs. The signatures are printed on the page. Go to Worthpoint and search "Spaceshots sheet promo" and there are many of them, all with identical autographs. I probably got mine at the National Sports Collectors Convention in Atlanta in 1992. The Spaceshots people had a booth there that year, and Buzz Aldrin, Vladimir Dzhanibekov, and Bruce McCandless were all there, signing cards. (Elsewhere I've written that I met James Lovell there, but I was mistaken; I met him at the US Space and Rocket Center here in Huntsville [where Space Camp is conducted]).

3-card strips of Pacific cards. I went to the NSCC in 1992 (Atlanta), 1993 (Chicago), 1994 (Houston), and 1995 (St. Louis). These strips were giveaways at one (or more) of those conventions).
