The Star Struck logo looks and sounds a bit tacky. Perhaps CZ were planning another type of gimmick set, or will in the future, but will use some of that style card for this set.

There is far, far too much desire in the card manufacturing industry at the moment to give things stupid names. I don't really get it. Upper Deck are terrible for this. As anyone who ever attempted to collect any of their Marvel sets will know, every set has a different daft name for the autographs and the costumes.
I think in CZX's case, they're trying to create a miniature "brand", such that running through their future sets, there's a "Star Struck" autograph range, to entice people who aren't interesting in collecting individual sets, but might want to collect the "Star Struck" cards across multiple sets.
I'm certain that was their original thing with those awful "Star Power" subset cards.

Cryptozoic has announced they will not be attending Emerald City Comic Con due to concerns over the spread of coronavirus in the Seattle area. So they are selling a new "convention" dual wardrobe card of Claire and Jamie exclusively in their eStore. The card is #'d to 200, costs $30, and has a limit of 2 per person. All purchases of the wardrobe card will also come with the P4 promo card, which was originally reserved for Emerald City Comic Con.
Originally posted by Graham: There are distributors here in the UK, but when it comes to buying convention cards like this, we are excluded. It can't be a licence issue.
I tried to buy one last night but couldn't as it was (as you say) US/Canada only.
