Notes: The trend in use of more explicit photographs which began with Dare To Bare continued with this edition and runs all the way through to the last release. Promo and Prototype sets for this edition have idential artwork, except for the card captions. The number 8 card in the proto set has never been seen and probably does not exist--it was likely printed promo in error.
The Victor subset has four cards, all the same artwork, from line drawing through to a portrait.
Bethany and Tammy Parks subsets are commonly known as HotBodz and Drop Dead (Gorgeous) respectively. A variant of the Bethany set was made available to the Collectors Club only. The common set has a photograph finish designed to mimic a painted portrait, the variant is simply a photograph, the image is the same for both, only the clarity of the image varies. (Thanks to Van Nightengale for the information).
Mimi Miyagi holograms were a very difficult set to complete. The Cards had the same holographic front, and three different photographic backs. One is a side shot, space background, another is breasts close-up brown background, last is full frontal space background. The brown background was inserted in packs. The others were available as send in offers on the wrappers or through promotional offers. The uncut hologram sheet with the three cards is actually more common.
Pressmatch collectibles from this edition were released later. Once again, excess stock wound up in Chronicles, there was a lot of it.
