Notes:
      A rapid release after Update 2, this set came out only four months later. Similar formats and similar chase card groups to Update 2, Update 3 continues to feature two base cards per Playmate, pictorial and centerfold.   Once again no cover cards, this was done mainly because current contracts with any celebrity appearing on the cover of Playboy are for single use of the image, so Stellar would have had to go back to each celebrity and negotiate for re-release of the image, which would be cost prohibitive.

    Once again, card quality meets the high standard we have come to expect from Playboy and Stellar. Coallation in boxes is also excellent, thirteen sets to a case of twelve boxes.   Chase card insertion varies, some boxes are better than others, but this is expected.
          Lower insertion ratio (that is rarer) chase cards have the usual purple foil, gold foil, and silver (or platinum if you will) variations for those who think it matters. There is a stickered case topper, which was a "platinum" memorabila card. This likely varies from case to case.
          Spotlight cards are lower insertion than the other memorabilia cards.   The artwork for the spotlight cards is similar to older releases, and there are only three Playmates involved with, kiss, autograph, swatch and DNA for all three. No idea of the number of chase cards made, but the insertion ratio should give some idea. Three kiss cards for this edition three Hair DNA cards, and three memorabilia or swatch cards, for three featured Playmates, similar to Update 2.
