Special Cards
Click all images to expand
The Special Cards are so called because they are just that, special. They do not appear in the Futera Platinum Red Dwarf Trading Card Checklists, they do not appear on the Grant Naylor Productions Red Dwarf website, they barely appear online at all actually. They are little known, hard to find, and all together... well... special.
One of only three types of precious-metal plated cards, this Red Dwarf Silver Plated Card (FS1) is number 64 of only 250. Along with the Silver Plated Blue Midget Card (below) and the Gold Plated Starbug Card (which is not included in this collection- much to the constant distress of The Curator!), the three metal plated Futera Cards are the crowning jewels of any Red Dwarf collection. For each of the Silver Plated cards there exists a unique Leather Album embossed on the front with the name of the associated space craft, also neither currently in the collection.
The most recent donation to The Unofficial Red Dwarf Online Museum, is this Blue Midget Silver Plated Card (FS1), number 73 of 250. The unique Leather Blue Midget Album mentioned above also includes an alternate Autograph Card set (AP1 to AP7), and a full unique 63 card "parallel" chaser Base set on brass-effect chrome board. Sadly neither of these alternate sets are featured in this collection.
The Red Dwarf Case Card (CC1) was limited to 562 in number, making it a rarity found in only 12.5% of sales display boxes. This Case Card is number 298.
The XL Centrepiece Card was very rare, limited to 250 in total. The front displayed a section of a twenty credit banknote from the show, and the reverse acted as certificate of authenticity, hand signed and numbered by a Futera Platinum big wig. This card is number 27.
The Chloë Annett Photoshoot Promo Card (MP2) is one of two promo cards (the second being a Holly Memorabilia card). It presumably acted as promotional material and proof of concept, prior to the production of the Preview Card set. As a promo card, they are unumbered.
