Three Freebies From The Wrapper

 One of the Trading Card Trade magazines I subscribe to is called "The Wrapper" a low-budget publication that comes out every six weeks or so (7 times a year) and is Non-Sport specific. Often they dive deep into vintage Non-Sport sets as well as the occasional newer set, some super popular and well known and others that are rare and very obscure. I forget how many years I have been subscribed. Anyway when it comes to renewing your subscription along with the notice that your subscription is about to expire they will often send a few freebies to sweeten the deal. Here are three cards I received in my subscription renewal envelope; 1 I am pretty sure I already have, 1 I know I already have and the 3rd is "new" to me:

Women of Star Trek Auto Claire Rankin

I got this card a while back on 26 March this year, but hadn't talked about it. I didn't note how much I paid for it, but I got it from Ebay so I could probably check my records there to be sure but I think it was between $7 and $15 It is one of the auto cards from the 2009 Rittenhouse Women of Star Trek card set. This one is Star Trek: Voyager Claire Rankin as Alice. It is an on-card autograph in blue sharpie. This card is not numbered and has no serial numbering. I couldn't find a reliable checklist for these so I'm not sure how many autographs this set had. *Sigh*  I would like to get more of these autos for decent prices and find a good price on the base set. I think there have been a couple of these Women of Trek sets.

I found a box break video from Sportscardhaven Reviews of this set of cards. An interesting video but it is obvious the guy knows little about Star Trek and is clearly a sports guy as a couple of times he called the costume cards "jersey cards". He he.

Rittenhouse is also known as scifihobby, actually I think Rittenhouse is the parent company not 100% sure on that one.
