Insertion Ratio Approx 1 in a case Racquel Pomplun Insertion Ratio Approx 1 to a case 1 Spotlight Hair Locket Card Cards are not numbered--listed alphabetically here. Similar to DNA cards in previous releases. There is one Hair Locket card for this release Racquel Pomplun Insertion Ratio Approx 1 in a case Notes: Update 7 was released in late March 2017. It came out following a bewildering period of editorial, focus, and policy changes for Playboy Magazine. In March 2016 the magazine discontinued nudity, this policy much as most of the other changes made to the magazine was unsuccessful, and as of February 2017 was discontinued, with nudity returning just before Update 7 was released. Had nudity remained absent, most collectors would agree the Centerfold Collectors card series had found a convenient ending point. For this reason, and in an admirable attempt to close the series out, Update 7 includes two the January/February Playmates in 2016. It remains to be seen whether Playboy or Stellar will attempt to continue Centerfold Cards now that nudity in the magazine has returned, particularly since there is much question as to whether the magazine will continue. Update 7 It follows the same formats as the previous Updates 1-6, and has the same types of chase cards as other Update editons, however the number of the types of chase cards varies. Due to the expanded number of cards in the release, that is 100 base cards vs 72 in other Updates, it is not possible to complete a base set with one box of cards. In the case I broke, I made 9 sets from 12 boxes. There are no obvious short prints and no errors in numbering noted.. Card quality and chase card distribultion within boxes is excellent, the case yeilded a complete set of memorabilia cards, one autograph card, and one printing plate. Only one Spotlight card and two of four Racquel Pomplun Spotlight Memorabilia cards were missing. 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 purple foil 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. Most chase cards are not numbered so no idea of the number of chase cards made, but the insertion ratio should give some idea. Collectors looking to complete the Centerfold Card series should be satisfied with this release, and if this in fact the last one in the series, it has been a good run. The images chosen for this set, with only a few exceptions that are likely caused by the choice of Playmate and layout at the time, continue the high standard set by the Playboy magazine in the past. I have no idea how that standard could have been maintained based on the poor quality of photography, content, and layout that has characterized Playboy magazine in the last year.
