Instead, this release contains die cut cards which have not been done in Playboy sets before but are common in other sports and non-sports releases. Although pricing to dealers increased on this set, that does not appear to have influenced internet auction site pricing. The 25 autographed cards may help dealers offset the increase, lets see if there are 20+ autographs in all releases at the higher case price. Cartoons are repeated several times on the backs of cover cards, rather odd since there certainly are a wealth of cartoons in Playboy that could have been included. Coallation was excellent across the case I broke--19 sets, 3 sets of each unsigned chase cards, one complete set of autographs and 10 memorabilia cards. 1998 centerfold cards are not included in this release. Binder sets were released about two weeks after the foil packs. A binder set contained the Key to the Mansion cards, the Colleen Shannon 50th Anniversary cards, the die cut Photographers Choice cards, and an autograph card (Shannon Tweed). The only cards not included were other autographed cards and memorabilia cards.
