Originally posted by Bill Mullins: 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).

Just noticed that Heritage sold one of these as authentically signed for $189 last year -- surprising!

Here are the front and back of the uncut 8-card Blue Comet Press promo sheet (Blue Comet Press, 1993). It contains the 8 numbered promos which were inserted in various comic issues published by Blue Comet Press. PCE2008 listed eight numbered promos plus one unnumbered one but does not include this sheet. That card must have been printed on a different sheet unless this one is no longer as it was originally printed.
I saw this for sale a couple of weeks ago. The singles aren't seen that often but they don't go for much. I'd never seen the sheet before.

I posted an image of this card (Chichiri) in the "Fushigi Yugi" thread in the General Promo category but I add it here as it isn't a card in the Fushigi Yugi listing in PCE2008. The cards are unnumbered so they are identified by the character shown on the front and described on the back.
Also, at the time of PCE2008's publication, only 8 cards were known but it's now recognized as an 18-card set.
"Fushigi Yugi" is a Japanese TV show (1995-1996) which was based on a manga series that started in 1991.

I have 6 of these cards and two of them are not on the PCE list so they must be from the 18 total . Are the 18 cards all the same set or are there two sets. At times I have tried to find others but no luck.
