Notes:
Released in mid-1995, Hot Shots 4 is almost always known as Queen of Hearts. A relatively explicit set, the first 54 cards can be used as a poker card deck. (1500 54 card Playing card decks were made from the same artwork, and distributed to the Collectors Club and dealers in a goil foil stamped and sealed box. These boxes are numbered. Once again, thanks to Van Nightengale for reminding me of this set.) Hot Shots descriptions list Queen of Hearts as a 100 card set, that is misleading. The 100th card is not common, Hot Shots assigns it as the Kaylan Entry form card, most of which were sent in to Hot Shots to win a contest, for a trip to Las Vegas, a binder set, or an uncut sheet. Sets may be sold as 99 card or 100 card, since the Entry form card is not numbered and may be scarce. The Kaylan Gold card may have been a binder set card also, but was rare in boxes, it was probably offered in promotional cards issued to the collectors club and might have been in Chronicles, later. They are difficult to find in foil packs.
Heidi Help Wanted cards may have been distributed to dealers with the solicitations for this edition.
Pogs were big when this set was issued in 1995, now people barely remember what they are. Pogs were usually used by kids in a game similar to marbles, what purpose they had in an adult set is debate-able. They were attractively made, found 2 or more to a box, and were traded when the set was released, but may be hard to find now. Uncut pog sheets were distributed by Hot Shots to dealers and to the Emperors club.
Queen of Hearts chase cards are quite common, many were dumped with Chronicles.
