Notes: Seven different types of chase cards released along with two special offers. Redemption cards were redeemable for the Taylor Signature card, which was later released in Chronicles without the signature. Therefore, a total of three versions of the card exist, one with the signature, one without, and the common card without the special edition legend in white on the card front. The Prototype nine card set was distributed in the packs, and the promo set was only released through the collectors club and to dealers. Insertion ratios of chase cards was high, almost all packs had some kind of chase card.
The Blast from the Past special edition is a subset which reviews and continues each of the major releases by D B Cardiff over the past 5 years. The artwork for the cards mimics the artwork of the original set, and continues the numbers of the original set. The cards have dual numbering, 1 of 9 through 9 of 9 for the subset along with a stamp identifying the card as a special edition. There are three Heidi Lynn special edition cards, two were distributed together in a slab holder with cert of authenticity, the third (a transparency card) was distributed separately. Each is marked limited to 500.

The Tammy Parks card has a filmography of Ms. Parks on the back, it has little in comon with the Drop Dead Gorgeous set in Hot Shot 3 Part 2. This edition was released shortly after R Cards Penthouse One. (R Cards and D B Cardiff have the same ownership).
