Notes: The Emperor's Collection is so named because of the wallpaper in the card borders and backs, which has either a Roman or medieval theme. Later, Hot Shots used the theme for the Emperor's Club, which was Hot Shots collectors club and a method of direct distribution to collectors. Images were once again chosen from J. Stephen Hicks photographic files and this edition included some images done by Suze Randall. In Emperors Collection, the models popular names were used, instead of aliases. Many of the chase cards associated with this set are not in the packs or are not common in packs. They were made available to dealers through separate offers and in the Chronicles release. The first 1500 boxes contained Stripping Empress subset cards with an error, the cards had the same image front and back. A full set of Stripping Empress error cards would have 9 of the light background on both sides and 9 of the black background on both sides. The error was corrected for the remainder of the print run. Promos for the Girl Girls 1 editon were randomly inserted in the Emperors Collection. The Jennifer Mott fold out was originally supposed to be card number 1, it was later released to dealers. The Racquel Darrian fold out was part of the promo set. Two of the holograms have the artwork for Girl Girls 1, they are numbered II, and III. The Racquel Darrian Hologram was rare, some had Hot Shots seals of authenticity, others released later in Chronicles did not. As with the Premiere edition, the old stock of Emperors Collection in Hot Shots stock was dumped in Chronicles. Many of the holograms from this edition became available at that time.
