Notes:
      Update 6 was released in November 2015. It follows the same formats as the previous Updates 1-5, and has the same types of chase cards as the last two Update editons.   This release came shortly after Playboy announced its planned change from featuring nudity in the magazine, and there is a great deal of uncertainly as to whether the magazine and the associated card series will remain viable. Update 7 should complete (or very nearly complete) the centerfolds that have nudity. A limited poll of collectors I deal with shows that many collectors are planning to discontinue collecting the magazine if the change does not re-vitalize the magazine.   Obviously if the magazine ends, the trading cards will likely also end   Stellar has not committed to a course of action and wil likely not do so until the situation clarifies.

As far as Update 6 there are no obvious short prints in the chase cards and no errors in numbering noted..   Card quality and coallation within boxes is excellent, once again thirteen sets to a case of twelve boxes.   Chase card insertion varies, some boxes are better than others, but this is expected.   Six autograph cards with this release same as Update 5, as popular as autographs had been, getting the autographed cards back from Playmates was historically the cause of late releases, fewer autographs is certainly reducing the time required to publish an edition.

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.

Scented memorabilia cards are supplied in plastic shrink wrap, probably best not to remove it unless you want to drop the cards value substantially.   Chase cards are not numbered so no idea of the number of chase cards made, but the insertion ratio should give some idea.
