C is the short run of the autograph challenge cards (Captain Kirk) The Phrase is "Space the Final Frontier" This card was limited to 50 and was inserted into packs. If one found this card, then it could be redeemd for a complete set of autographs. |

A VOIDED card was returned to collectors. Initally thought to be limited to 50 as well, it was later found out that, for a time, SkyBox was sending out the card to people who asked. Problem was only the dealers knew and they would get multiple copies of the card and sell for high prices. Eventually, SkyBox stopped this and no longer sent out the Voided cards. This left the I card fairly uncommon, the Y and V more common and the C very limited. |

The Nimoy card is about as rare as a Shatner or a DeForest put together. The Shatner and the Deforest each appeared in two series, the Nimoy one. |

One collector notes he found these cards in packs that
did NOT have a chase card in the pack.
See Steve C's response to the problem:
Here is the answer to the mystery of the "short-printed" 5 cards from TOS 3. These cards were actually double printed. The basic card set is 75 cards and the sheet size is 80 cards, so 5 were double printed. The problem is that the company which packages Fleer's cards screwed up and did not feed the various stacks of cards properly. Collectors are entitled to a complete set of the basic cards, so there is no reason why Fleer's collector support dept. shouldn't make good on these cards to anyone who calls. After all, they are only basic cards, not chase cards, so it would be much more trouble than its worth for anyone to complain about this problem if they weren't actually having a problem. The cost of a phone call would exceed the cost of the 5 cards.
Several people have asked me about this problem, and since it was my project, I felt compelled to get some answers. I can assure everyone, though, that this glitch was purely accidental. Nobody plans for this sort of thing.
