	Scanlens -72 card Captains Log set. They were identical to the US 76 Topps set except for the authorization details on the cards. The brand names are NOT on the cards, but the backs are absent "Printed in USA." The stock is a touch thinner, but it is amazingly whiter, so the blue and yellow on the backs is blazingly bright. "Be sure to watch for the new star trek full length motion picture" is replaced with the episode that the card front came from. No number in the top left hand corner. # of 72 is in the lower right corner of the yellow box. There is no sticker set for this series.
	TV Week Classic TV-1995-1996, a TV Guide type insert, has a single ST card, in limited and unlimited versions. In it's second card series, TV Week decided to make what could be called inserts or chase cards. What they did was make a limited number (5,000) of each card in the set with a gold foil stamp of a TV on them. (Thanks Cecil and Enza!!)
	Season Two of Voyager tapes in Australia have a set of 10 postcards/oversized cards(Thanks, Steve!)
	There was a club in Australia who gave out several ST related disco passses in honor of ST night. (Thanks, Phillip!) One is TNG, one is TAS and the third disco pass is a more oversized card with the TOS Enterprise-A on the front. There is a color variation for this particular pass. (Thanks, Phillip!)
	Here's a sweet item! A Topps 76 Scanlens box! (THanks John for the info and scan!!!)
	New Zealand Allens & Regina. 72 card set similar to the Australia version of the Topps 76 set. Printed in USA is missing. See above for more information. Thanks Bob and Sam!

Canada

	A set of 4 gift cards you can buy from Canadian stores. THese are similar to the gift cards found in Canadian sets of DVD's but text is French.
	Two of a known series of 4 (will get scans of the other two) offered as part of a promotion in Canada to promote a series of Trek DVD's.
	As best as I can understand it, the Topps 76 set, when released in Canada was distributed by O Pee Chee. The only difference between this and the US set is the box. I am trying to locate when to know for sure! The wrapper is the same as the US version and mentions both US and Canada on the text. One collector notes that the 'cut' of the card is rougher on the Canadian distributed cards.
	This is from the Canadian Game from the 1980's called "Personal Preference". It has hundreds of cards with different celebrities or things represented as obscure artist drawings. There are two featuring Star Trek characters: Captain Kirk (a drawing of the Enterprise) and Mr. Spock (a drawing of two pointy ears!). (Thanks, Larry)
	Canadian Game card called Who's Who from 1992. Card 188 is a Shatner card, the back has several trivia questions.
	Two Cut out cards from a French/Canadian Magazine called 7 Joursis 3 1/2"x5 1/2".
	These two cards are from a Canadian game called Whozat, made around 1992, and out of print. The caricatures are by an artist named Marshall Kaplan. The game features over 300 cards of famous people, athletes, politicians, singers, movie stars etc... (Thanks, Larry!) (3x4)

	Frito-Lay-1993. Set of 60 cards. 38 ST:TNG, 10 DS9, 10 fold-outs and 2 checklists. There was a folder/binder that reports limit to 300, given to grocery store managers. There was also some contest/prize cards as well.
	Canadian cereal box set with ST cards, 1996. Selected boxes (like mini-wheats, Raisin Bran) of cereal have 4 cards on the back of the box that can be cut out for a total set of 60. The front has an image of certain characters. They span all the series and movies. This is a NICE set!! (Thanks, Dan and SW!) One note: there are NO pictures of Spock on either the cards or the fronts....odd and surely intentional omission as some images had to be altered. As JMH says, isn't it everybody's dream to be on a Wheatie's box, so why wouldn't Leonard Nimoy want to be???
	This is a promo set promoting a new science fiction TV channel in Quebec (Channel Z). Packs were given out at the movies with the purchase of a ticket. Each pack has 6 cards and a TV schedule. There are 12 known cards in the set. One of these cards is ST:TNG. (Thanks, Jerie!)

England

	These cards are from the ST Adventure in the UK. THey come on the neck strap contraption, like for a camera. The cards are attach through a hole onto a clip, like perhaps to look like press passes? Not sure, they fit into standard non-card pockets. Imange shows the fronts of all but, DS9. That is the back. One card is metal. (Thanks, Paul!)
	SFX magazine had a series of small cards, part of a game called Trump. Though the front of the magazine shows 7 of 9, that card isn't part of the sealed pack inside.
	SFX Magazine put out a special edition magazine called SFX Appeal around the end of 2003. The magazine included a series of small cards, 2 perforated cards in a sheet. Six are Trek. (Thanks, Kathy for the tip and Paul for the mags!!)
	These are a series of postcards (with room for stamps and address) from the ST Adventure in the UK. (Thanks, Paul!)
	A postcard offered in the lobby of UK cinemas as a promotional of Enterprise "Broken Bow" (Thanks, Jim!)
	This is a 4x5 3/4 postcard (with place on back for address) from Holland promoting the release of Enterprise on video. (Thanks, Ben!)
	This is a post-card sized ad card for a convention in the UK.
	This is a lobby card promoting the release of Nemesis on 3rd Jan in the UK. The card is postcard size ( 4.1" x 5.8") (Thanks, Jim!)
	These two cards are membership cards to the ST Fan Club in Europe. Trading card sized, but back holds membership name.
	These are large sized data cards (I got mine form the UK, I don't know for sure that tey are from there). I don't know how many are in the set, the numbering scheme would imply alot.
	In 1993, CIC offered videos of DS9 with a collector's card in them. The video had a sticker on the front to let you know there was a card inside.(approx 4.8 inches by 3.5) (Thanks, Paul!!)
	A postcard produced by the UK Post Office (Thanks, Paul!)
	A set of 6 UK video cards....they actually have an attached pair of 3-d glasses that you remove to view image on card. The full set has 6 cards.
	Caricatures of ST:TOS. May have been packaged with candy cigarettes. There are several variations in the borders surrounding the text on back from straight lines to zig zags and some reprints as well. One dealer suggested the way to tell an original from a reprint was a reduction in text size.

	Topps A and BC-1969. Color photos, .55 cards, all from the episode What are Little Girls Made of?. This set has some controversy. There has been a find of some cards with a Desilu, 1968 copyright. The 'normal' set has a Paramount, 1969 copyright. The wrapper, interestingly, enough, has a 1968 copyright date. Not much is known about the variation of the Desilu cards. The questions left unanswered are: was there a test print and then when they went to actually produce the set, the copyright was changed. Did they produce the set initially as a 1968 set and then later on change over to a 1969 set??
	General Mill's-1979 (also released in the US). Color photos and action shots. 18 cards. Found on the back of boxes of GM's cereal. Found on Booberry, Cocoa Puffs, Count Chocula, Frankenberry, Lucky Charms, and Trix cereal boxes. There were two 'types' of cards. Large boxes featured characters shots, smaller boxes showed scenes from the movie.
	Lyon's Maids set of 25 cards and a poster that displays the cards.
	The Downpace cards are star trek credit card style cards given away free with mugs that were available in the UK. They were produced by a company called "Downpace Ltd" in 1995. There are 18 cards in the set, both TOS and TNG, depicting various characters, ships and scenes.
	This is a postcard issued to tie-in with a major advertising campaign by KP in (I think) 1998-1999 for their "Hula Hoop" potato snack; it was originally a large poster (used in bus shelters). (Thanks, Paul!)
	Found in UK ST Generations Widescreen Special Collectors Edition video tape. The cards come sealed in an opaque envelope and are 4x6. (sllllooow...lots of pictures!)
	A UK exclusive video set-all 9 movies in a boxed set. Includes 5 movie stills/postcards with blank backs. They measure 4 1/2 and 7 1/4.
	Weetabix. Two different sets of cards. 1979 set- 18 cards in set. art and color photos. Cards were made to stand up. Came with boxes of Wheetabix cereal. 1985 Generations set- 1o sticker cards. The stickers could be peeled off and displayed on 4 different scenes.

	There is a set of SW:ESB cards that has a ST subset. They appear to be bootleg reprints of stickers from the Topps 79 set. Some of the cards are repetitions of the same image, but different size text and card numbers. The checklists may not be complete, but there appear to be at least 24.
