This is a set of cards that is no longer in my collection. I show them here as historical
reference. These were the cards I used as a basis for my own cards, which can also
be found on this website.
I purchased these cards in the hopes that they would fill a deep hole in my collection,
but they did not. I was very dissatisfied with the quality of the pieces. Don't get me
wrong, they are VERY nice, but they don't stand up under close scrutiny.
Ultimately, I scanned them into my computer, and redrew them entirely, making changes along
the way so that things lined up more naturally, and were more symmetrical. Of particular
importance was the FBI crest, the round seal featured in 2 cards. On these cards, it's a
total disaster. All of the detail is very washed out, and poorly replicated. For mine,
I found a much higher resolution picture of it, and traced it out precisely. The promo
cards also got a few of the fonts wrong, namely the ones on the crest, and the one at the
bottom of the card. For my version, I managed to find a perfect match for the font at
the top of the card, which is (oddly enough) the exact same font that they use on the
new Star Trek show, Enterprise.
