Months ago, when I wrote my parody "Voyager Closer to Pointless," I had no idea how close to the mark I would hit. While it's a tad away from the usual Trek Trade fare, I thought I'd throw my 5 cents on this new set out there. First off, this little commentary is all SkyBox is getting from me on Voyager Closer to Home. I'm currently boycotting their new products until they start letting out their Voided Game cards as they did ever so briefly (which was wonderful for dealers who knew about it, but horrible to collectors who found out about it too late), which supports the business practice of dealers selling the cards for hundreds of dollars (an act they say they are against). So, this critique is the only thing of mine SkyBox gets for this set, not a penny more! I took a look at the set. Point 1 - Am I the only one who noticed how poorly this set was assembled? It begins with card #178, which corresponds to . . . nothing. It's a random starting point. Before you jump down my throat with "It's supposed to follow up on Voyager Season 2," lets look at that series. The common cards end with number 190 or 202 after all of the chase cards. No matter what universe you're in, 178 does not rationally follow either 190 or 202. For those of you who say "177 is the last episode card," I conceed that, however even with the TNG episode collection, all of the cards go in order, including checklists and murals. SKYBOX screwed up. Point 2 - Outside of the numbering, the common card set is messed up. Did you notice how many common cards That's the point. Many of the common cards are cut off. They don't finish their last sentences. This happens on AT LEAST six cards. There was more written, it didn't make it onto the card and no one bothered to double check the cards. Point 3 - Redemption cards. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Any SkyBox set that requires redemption cards for the autographs was released too soon. Better to delay the set and have it all there than put it out prematurely and incomplete. It pains me that the Deep Space Nine Memories From the Future set had so very many redemption cards. Point 4 - Promotional Lenticular set. Dealers were given oversized lenticular cards. If you're into completeing the whole set, there's another $450+ if you want to try to complete the whole set. What, dealers couldn't believe in lenticular? They couldn't remember what they were from earlier sets? Point 5 - No Guarantees. Did you look over the box? Sure, it says that there's a Command Card or and Autographed card in each box (remember hearing that in other series' and get a box without?), but there's no guarantee. There's no guarantee that you'll get a complete common set even. The point is, SkyBox is going down on customer service. There are so many things about this set (poor research, poor execution, rushed date, lack of guarantees) that reinforce the idea that SkyBox doesn't give a damn about the collector, instead being out to make a buck. The only thing this set seems to do right (in my opinion) is having autographs only from central characters (even if two of them are redemption cards). So far, the best set SkyBox has made since starting the whole autograph cards is Star Trek The Next Generation Season 7 - the only set that pretty much guarantees that if you bought a case, you got everything or the ability to get everything. One promo, one super chase card (the Captain's card), attainable holograms, attainable chase, well assembled set, actual autographs and a guarantee they gave even though they didn't mean to. Just my opinion. If you're paying out lots of money trying to get the whole Orange vs. Green alien set, maybe it should be yours as well. -W.L.

For those of you who say "177 is the last episode card," I conceed that, however even with the TNG episode collection, all of the cards go in order, including checklists and murals. SKYBOX screwed up. Oddest thing I ever saw and I fund it ironic that after everyone pitched such a fit about Voy Season two that they weren't a weeeee bit more careful about it. Heck, even Collect wrote an article voicing their (and our) opinions on how it should be addressed and I don't think this was on it....!! Point 2 - Outside of the numbering, the common card set is messed up. Did you notice how many common cards That's the point. Many of the common cards are cut off. They don't finish their last sentences. This happens on AT LEAST six cards. There was more written, it didn't make it onto the card and no one bothered to double check the cards. Nope, I missed this one, they should have no excuses on this one except to say they screwed up. Point 3 - Redemption cards. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Any SkyBox set that requires redemption cards for the autographs was released too soon. Better to delay the set and have it all there than put it out prematurely and incomplete. It pains me that the Deep Space Nine Memories From the Future set had so very many redemption cards. Hey pay the actors good money and get a contract. They need to crack down on them better. Look at Berman..they should sued him for breach of contract, and NEVER inserted him into packs. Point 4 - Promotional Lenticular set. Dealers were given oversized Lenticular cards. If you're into completing the whole set, there's another $450+ if you want to try to complete the whole set. What, dealers couldn't believe in Lenticular? They couldn't remember what they were from earlier sets? Actually, (not that it matters) these cards are wrongly labeled promos since they were sent to dealers AFTER the release. They were incentives to order more product. Obviously, since I got them, I am not going to tender an opinion on whether or not they should be given out since I have a biased view. There is something to be said for offering dealers cool stuff..happy dealers stock their product. OTOH, I think in fairness to collectors why not send them EXTRA stuff found in packs rather then an exclusive NEW stuff. For most of the TNG episode series, dealers got holos. This messes up the odds a bit since they are more common then 1:90. But at least collectors had other options for finding the cards then relying on the dealers to sell 'em. Levels the playing field a wee bit. Point 5 - No Guarantees. Did you look over the box? Sure, it says that there's a Command Card or and Autographed card in each box (remember hearing that in other series' and get a box without?), but there's no guarantee. There's no guarantee that you'll get a complete common set even. The point is, SkyBox is going down on customer service. Yup, I think it's a mistake not to offer a guarantee. Sky Box didn't guarantee for TNG 7, but did it anyway, which was a smart move on their part, I have not yet tested them on this product. They also have not responded to my concerns over the number of damaged cards. Just my opinion. If you're paying out lots of money trying to get the whole Orange vs. Green alien set, maybe it should be yours as well. -W.L. Swarts I hate the orange subset as well (as a collector) I don't' like them enough to wanna chase after them. I like the lenticulars and the small number of autos. All in all I find it very unlikely we will ever find the perfect set. Various opinions on how difficult or expensive a set is to collect will always arise. We are currently in a position where we are unlikely to have complete collections. Not many can afford it and though I am not exactly *proud* of it, so to speak, it seems with out some access, whether through dealer status or whatever, some stuff is almost hopeless. I still think we can continue to collect, finding limits and accepting holes. Something I know is hard, we non--sport collectors are nothing if not anal about completionism. And it is not something we can necessarily blame SkyBox for for making it tough to put sets together, they are a business to make money. Making us dole out the buck and buy lots more product then before is the bottom line for them What is NOT acceptable is shoddy work, poor research and or editing, damaged cards or collation issues. I am more then willing to spend money on a product, even expensive, if it is well thought out, creative, fun and nice to look at. If I think they are thinking of me the collector then I am supportive of it. Lately, I think tossing out a product is the only goal, I am dissatisfied with where their heart is at and it won't much hurt my feelings if it's the last one. I HAVE been very pleased, for the most part, with the people at Customer Support at SkyBox. I haven't yet heard from them on the damaged cards issues, but up to this point, I have never walked away dissatisfied with whatever issues I have brought to them and on occasion they're going a step beyond. I have not been satisfied with their willingness, in the creative team, to open communication with collectors and keep us current and tell us the tidbits we like to hear. That continues to be a complaint of mine. Babble babble babble...

They do not use the word "Guaranty," but that sounds like a guaranty to me. At least that is advertising that says what is in the box. What was different about TNG 7 was that it just said 1:36, rather than 1 in every box. Looking back at earlier boxes, they used the same 1 in every box language, with saying it was guarantied.

As I've said many times before, I stopped getting new sets after the 30th Anniversary set came out, so I won't speak to the details surrounding W.L.'s dissatisfaction. But I would like to offer something to think about. Perhaps many of you have heard that Playmates decided NOT to produce any more Trek figures after this year? I believe Galoob also dropped the line (that may be incorrect - P'Mount might have pulled their license) quite a while ago. Yes, Hallmark made the "Trek stamp" for this year, but I think that's more of a "Post Office" item than a Trek item (from their point of view). My point is that, especially since DS9 stopped production, a lot of Trek licensees have decided to drop out of the Trek rat race. Personally, I think a lot of licensees were disappointed in the sales volume of most of their items compared to the licensing costs, but I may just be making that up. And I'm not saying that it's all P'Mount's fault. Everybody and his brother/sister wanted to have trek on their products. The collector market has been over-saturated for years. "Limited Edition" means even less than "Exclusive" nowadays BECAUSE of Trek products. The point is that, IF Skybox is getting out of the Trek busainess (and I think that's very likely), then they can cut their losses by doing some of the things you're all talking about in this thread. >Various opinions on how difficult or expensive a set is to collect will >always arise. That's a very good point, too. How many of us go after an item that was produced years ago, even though it's now known that it was an incomplete set? As an example, wouldn't you like to have a Mego 8 inch "Gorn" in your figure collection, even knowing the chances of getting the "Mugato" and "Romulan" are slimmer than "none"? Of course you would. The difference with trading cards is that we know while they're still being sold in boxes that the sets are next-to-impossible to complete and it just ticks us= off. > I still think we can continue to collect, finding limits and accepting holes. Of course we can; I just choose not to. It really irks me to know - IN ADVANCE - that I'll never have the whole set. >we non--sport collectors are nothing if not anal about >completionism. And it is not something we can necessarily blame SkyBox for >for making it tough to put sets together, they are a business to make= money. I think we can blame them a little! Just like we can blame any seller of any item where they take advantage of a situation by claiming to satisfy a need (our desire to complete sets) but then don't bother to fulfill it. Like selling insurance and then not paying a claim. I mean the whole point of selling "sets" of cards is because you know people want the whole set, but enjoy collecting it in pieces. How come the "Cinema Collection" didn't spawn more sets sold in completed form? Because the fun was removed from the equation and "collectors" didn't bother to buiy them. Ogh, I'm sure some collectors did, but I'll also betcha that most of the Cinema sets sold went to Trekkies as opposed to collectors. >What is NOT acceptable is shoddy work, poor research >and or editing, damaged cards or collation issues. Agreed, but I shouldn't speak to that too much, as I said in the beginning. I completely agree with the sentiment, though. OK, I've now officially joined the US Olympic Babbling Team, so I'll sign off, too.

Oddly, I had been contemplating that we in non sports don't' seem to go for the card grading professionals. I myself don't know of anyone who has graded a non sports card from PSA and SCGC or whoever. Seems as though they figured they'd missed us, so they'd get a new crowd...... Still, it seems a shame that we have been tossed aside. These kids that are so into pOkemon could be a generation to encourage to grow up with a love of collecting in general, but if we separate out those collectors from the rest of the crowd, how will we ever introduce ourselves...;) Lynne Lynne Stewart http://www.jklm.net/index.html KLM Enterprises, Inc. 2805 Oakcliff Ct Johnson City, TN 37601 Home of the AMOK TIMES NEWSLETTER-Info on Star Trek Cards KLM CARDS-Trek cards and stuff for sale!

I opened 6 boxes, made ONE set, 3/3rd of a second, maybe half of a third. What I have dupes of most everyone else does as well, making trades harder. Sorta like TOS Card Game Starfleet Maneuvers. got to be we all needed the same 3 or 4 cards. Rares, not even VRs..... In this case, what's more amazing is the uncommon...it took me 4 boxes to finally finish out three sets of commons and uncommons. I wouldn't think it should be that hard......

We tend to do business with the same people over and over and it gets to a point where there aren't any issues or worries of getting ripped off. I extended a trade offer to someone off the Decipher boards, one card for one card, either worth more then $2 max. He requested references so I sent a few (6 or 7 I think) he wrote back saying since I didn't have 10 references I would have to send first. I replied that I had easily 10, that I had only SENT 7 since I didn't know there was a requirement in how many I sent. I resent more, but was terribly annoyed about the whole thing. Are there established 'etiquettes' for trade. I mean, if 10 was what he wanted, he might have mentioned it. How paranoid is one supposed to be about a $2 card? I also have a problem with sending a stranger emails addresses, should we establish in advance people who are willing to vouch for us or is it ok with most people to have strangers email them asking for references without advance notice? The thing is when the conversation gets to that point, I think about GAB which I have chosen not to be involved in it, I get tons of requests from GAB for references requests and it can take a good chunk of time to respond to them all. Maybe I need to set up a page on my web site, sort like a review of a book..."She's a true trader" that I can add to my sig file for people to 'check me out'?

If he has the time to be that demanding, he might also have the time to find too much carbon dioxide on the card after it arrives. As far as send9ing out people's e-mails, you might wanna consider doing it the same way people do it for Job references. I've talked to a few people and asked them for general permission to use them as a ref, then I just let them know who will be contacting them when I give their name out. If someone wants more than I have set up like this, I call the reference person first and ask their permission, then give their info to the= requestor. Personally, I've never needed more than three for a job, so 10 for a card seems ridiculous. Just MHO.

Cus that's about how much I paid for mine. To me $60-$80 is what the card is worth. I hope the guy that paid $250 for the same card never sees the one that went for $32. Id be a bit upset. On the other hand I did pick up an Insurrection A1 on eBay not to long ago for $10. So I guess it's all relative. How do you do a price guide when you really don't know how much people are actually paying for certain cards. You would have to ask everybody you know how much they paid for it and average it out. I can see you setting up a web site where you can input how much you paid for a certain card and it would update automatically. That would be cool. But everybody on gods green earth would have to input there price they paid for it to be accurate. Which is impossible. So the question is how do you figure out this unseen variable. What kind of equation would you use. Jeff Lynne Stewart wrote: > > See....this is why price guides are hard to do...here's a card I consider > one of the rarer ones.

Too many variable. If someone came to me and said you have that card listed for ,say, $80 and I saw it go for $32 on Ebay and that's the price I want, I'd say bye! Lynne $32 is cheap. $250 is way too much. Lynne Stewart wrote: > See....this is why price guides are hard to do...here's a card I consider > one of the rarer ones.

I find price guides v important but realise they are limited. I've been thinking about it and my solution would be simply to rate how RARE a card is. Perhaps a scale of 1 - 10 (a bit like grading action figure condition), and then let the individual make their own mind up about cost. Different people will and can pay different amounts.

I'm not defending this, but the US is a capitalistic system. Any reference to the fact that some people can pay more than others for the same item is "outside" the system. A Capitalist only wants to know "what the market will bear". Also, I wanted to comment on the first statement below. It's correct that you cannot create an accurate price guide without knowing what people are actually paying for an item. That is what a price guide implies that it is. And that's what I was saying (VERY long ago in this discussion) is simply NOT gonna happen. You just can't get an accurate report on what "everyone" is paying for an item. You can't identify all the buyers to ask them, so you have to ask the sellers. The sellers have a personal agenda to raise the "perceived value" of the item, so they lie about what it is selling for. No price guide can ever hope to be accurate using this technique, but it's the only technique that can provide any results at all. LLAP, Vince At 09:54 PM 12/19/99 +0000, you wrote: >> all relative.

      Star Trek collectors will happily buy = well made products, but this lapse

I won't say anything about the plot because I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but I will say that I was extremely surprised in a good way. I went to see this film more out of a sense of duty to my hobby, sci-fi. I was hoping it wouldn't suck too much. Well, it doesn't suck at all. In fact, it's a really good film. For me, it was an out-and-out parody of Trek - not just the series, but the whole Trek phenomenon, including the personalities of the actors (when I say Trek, I'm speaking mostly of TOS, here, although there are touches of later incarnations, as well). It's a Dreamworks production with effects being handled by ILM and Skywalker Sound, but they MUST have subcontracted Sigourney Weaver's bustline to "Foundation Imaging". Yes, I remember her shape from "Alien", but she has never had a bustline like this... never!!! Tim Allen was exceptional. Eric Colantonio was terrific as the leader of the naive Aliens and the costuming/makeup/effects that wotked together to produce the head meany were outstanding. In fact, all the effects were 'way more than I expected. They went all out on this film, cutting no corners anywhere. There was one small scene where I think the editor took some shortcuts or fell asleep at the switch, but the landing in the parking lot more than makes up for it. If I HAVE to find a gripe it's that Tony Shaloub was underutilized. Otherwise, this is a movie every SF fan (and especially all Trekkies) should be sure to see... at least once.
