There are a couple interesting things to note on the autos. First, some were destined for the Lingerie Chest release and are marked with the /LC numbering on back. Second, the numbering is almost useless because each model has 2 different auto cards both have the same card number, so you have to identify these by the picture if you're trying to find one you don't have.

Overall, another fun release. Just please Stellar, no more this year. Save up and make a good start to 2010.

Do the DNA cards contain Actual DNA from Playboy Playmates?

If so, I could see myself in my mad scientist lab whipping up a batch or gorgeous, subservient clones (of Echo, how appropriate) and having them....

.........sort cards for me. I'm way behind!

Seriously, the cards do sound great, however with these types of cards, I am always reluctant to congratulate the collectors of them on their "pulls".

Let's be honest, it could be worse!

My box yielded the following inserts:

Autograph cards - AL/LC (Athena Lundberg), SH/P (Stephanie Heinrich)
Bare Assets - 6 different
Nude & Naughty - 6 different
Memorabilia cards - Courtney Rachel Culkin, Tamara Witner
Echo Johnson insert cards - none

Not surprised to get none the Echo Johnson cards, since the odds are tough. As always, a good looking set from Stellar, and (as was pointed out previously) the pictures are kinda nice!

I must also agree with Ed on another point: Stellar, please hold off production on any more sets for now. The prices of each release continues to increase, and boxes of this release are hitting the $100.00 mark. Additionally, can you find some way to number the autograph cards so we know that there are multiples of each signer? This has been done in the past with memorabilia cards, so I would think that doing it for autographs would be no big deal. Trying to identify cards by pictures is difficult, and should make trading much more interesting !

I opened two boxes

Box 1:
Playmate material: Amber Campisi
Autos: RS/P Rebecca Scott and SL/P Stephanie Larimore

Box 2 (and what a box) :
Playmate material: Amanda Paige
Autos: JM/P Jordan Monroe and AP/P Amanda Paige
1 Echo Johnson autographed material
