***W.L. Swarts Enterprises Exclusive!!!*** ST Metal - Premium Repack Product - Sealed Case Of 12 Boxes!

IN STOCK NOW!!!

(Shipping for the cases SUCKS! We get that.

Wow, it turns out even just shipping the product in
the case with its double-corugated exterior, not boxing
that up more, is a bear! Shipping is expensive; we don't control
that. That said, we have options.
If you have a UPS account and want to schedule a
pick-up, we can work with that. If you're on the East Coast
and want delivery, we can do that cheaper than USPS.
If you'll be at our next convention and want delivery
there, we can do that. MESSAGE US FIRST!
Otherwise, yeah, shipping on these sealed cases
is hella expensive. Is it worth it? For sure! This is
an awesome product. But if we can save you money,
we'd like to do that!
Thanks for your patience and interest, enjoy the read and happy

This is ST Metal a premium repack product exclusively from W.L. Swarts Enterprises!

We are very proud to be entering the repack market with the first of three planned releases (support this and we have two more incredible releases planned and ready to execute!).

What is ST Metal?

ST Metal is a premium repack product, boxes of trading cards collated with a strong theme and concept to give collectors amazing bang for their buck, while still preserving a spirit of adventure that the repack market demands. The cases of ST Metal are 12 sealed boxes of the product, plus an additional metal casetopper.

Why shell out for a case?!

The 12-box sealed case has guaranteed goodies that are in, but not guaranteed, the random boxes. In each case, buyer is guaranteed to get a color sketch card, a pencil sketch card, a Juan Ortiz autograph card, a "Star Trek" Inflexions common set, AND a Spiner, Burton OR Ryan autograph card! (Check out the odds section at the bottom, we now have awesome pictures, with more forthcoming!) So, it's the same reason as shelling out for a case of any other trading card set - being certain you'll get the highest of the high-end stuff that purchasing random boxes cannot necessarily guarantee you.  As for our guarantee, we're a 1-person operation who has spent weeks planning and packing this product; while we are very proud of the boxes, we made damn sure the cases were an incredible value for collectors!

What do you get?

Each case of ST Metal contains 12 boxes. EACH box of ST Metal contains:

3 Autograph cards

1 - Metal character (Borg, Robot, Android, cybernetically-enhanced, metal-encased, metal enhanced)
1 - Deceased talent (that's so metal!)
1 - Random "Star Trek" autograph card

1 Metal card

1 card made of metal (OR a collection of metal cards! Some of our boxes have some cool, matching-number metal card lots!!!!)

1 Foil or Foil-Enhanced chase card SET

1 Common Card set

SOME boxes contain additional cards (see below in the "Odds" section!). EACH CASE guarantees the inclusion of 1 of each of those extra cards, plus a casetopper!

Tell me more

Sure! We've seen repack products and we had some cool ideas. So, we decided to do it ourselves. As a company that has been in business since 1999, we have an incredible stock of Star Trek trading cards manufactured from Rittenhouse Archives and SkyBox. We are upping the conventions we are doing this year, even as we work to divest our Trek inventory, and we found a great way to give fans and adventure-seekers a fun time, great bang for their buck and clear some space from our shelves. One of the important distinctions with our product is that we do not devalue common or chase sets. They have value, they are cool... they are included.

What we offer is both high-quality, unparalleled concept and a level of product honesty not seen from our competitors (see below!). Only 100 boxes (8 sealed cases + 4 boxes) of ST Metal are being produced, so each one will be loaded with value and care put into each one (we're a small business, so a lot of work went into these!).

A Note On Quality

Our cards come straight from the pack/manufacturer and all of the single cards in ST Metal have been inspected for quality before being placed into a soft sleeve and toploader and then sealed inside (exceptions for incentive cards that come from companies already sealed!). These are not graded cards!

Similarly, it behooves us to note that some of our chase and common sets were packaged directly from the manufacturer (Star Trek: Enterprise Relationship set, Women Of Star Trek 50th Anniversary common sets come immediately to mind). While we have done our best to insure that they are not bricked products, they remain sealed and the contents are bought "as is." As always, caveat emptor. There are no refunds for ST Metal box/case purchases!

Okay, what's actually in the case/box?

Unlike our competitors, we're not afraid to get specific! (See pictures below!)

Let's go through the components!

EACH box of ST Metal contains:

3 Autograph cards

1 - Metal character (Borg, Robot, Android, cybernetically-enhanced, metal-encased, metal enhanced)
1 - Deceased talent (that's so metal!)
1 - Random "Star Trek" autograph card

1 Metal card

1 card made of metal (OR a collection of metal cards! Some of our boxes have some cool, matching-number metal card lots!!!!)

1 Foil or Foil-Enhanced chase card SET

1 Common Card set

but what can buyers actually expect?! Glad you asked. Our answer... exactly what we just said, though we strive to make each box balanced and a value... Let's go through those components.

Everyone is excited about autograph cards, of course, so let's go through some highlights...

Metal Character Autograph Cards (1 per box)
Brent Spiner (3 variants, plus a dual autograph with Denise Crosby!)

LeVar Burton

Jeri Ryan

Aron Eisenberg (the picture clearly shows his lieutenant pips... get it? Wow, no one has called that out yet, we have awesome customers!)

Sean Kenney (4 variants)

Sherry Jackson (3 variants, plus a dual autograph!)

Susanna Thompson

Manu Intiraymi (2 variants)

Jonathan Del Arco

Sara Mitich

Fionnula Flannagan

Scott Strozier

Joseph Gatt

Jonathan Breck

Metal card is exactly what it sounds like. One per box, there is a metal card, made of actual metal. Many are serial-numbered, some were originally case-hits, some are casetoppers, at least one was a binder exclusive. One per box of ST Metal is a metal card from a previous release. But wait! There's more! Some boxes have more than one metal card. If you've checked out our store, you know we're a sucker for matching serial numbers. Once we make a matching number set, we don't like to break it up. That remained true for our premium repack product! As such, some boxes have more than a single metal card in them. They would have multiple metal cards with matching serial numbers. One box has 10 Star Trek Beyond metal cards with matching serial numbers! How cool is that?! Count on only getting a single metal card per box, but some will have more.

Take a look at what we think are the top ten hits in this tier:

Chase Card Set - "This premise is getting a little sweaty..." "This whole premise is sweaty!" ("Werewolf Bar Mitzvah" - if you haven't, give it a listen on Spotify!) - One per box, there is a chase card set. In fitting with the ST Metal theme, all of the chase sets have foil. Some have a little, some have a lot. There is a metallic quality to all of the chase sets, even if it is minimal. That said, we are VERY proud to say that many of the chase sets are really cool, high-end chase sets that took multiple CASES to assemble, like highly popular Ships Of The Line chase sets from various sets. Some have fewer foil elements or were more common, but we have some really cool gems of chase card sets in these boxes, including a Dynamic Duos set from the Star Trek Inflexions product!!! Important note: We maintained sets based on the sets in which they were released, so a TNG Portfolio Prints Ships Of The Line set would be just that... either from Series 1 or Series 2, 9 cards...

Common Card Set - This is the least-variable part of the product. Sorry, but hey, it's a cool little bonus. The common card sets in ST Metal are very limited (see the odds below). Each one is either all-foil or has a foil element to it. Sometimes, that's pretty (admittedly) minimal. We're working with what we have and what was produced. So, odds are strong the box contains a Star Trek TOS 50th Anniversary common set (it's a nice set). If you buy multiple boxes, count on getting duplicates of the two most common common sets...

Specific Odds

In the Metal-tier autographs, 1:12 boxes contains a Spiner, Burton, or Ryan autograph trading card (guaranteed 1 per case)!

Aron Eisenberg - 1:33

Sherry Jackson - 1:6.25

Sean Kenney - 1:3.57

Jonathan Del Arco - 1:50

Fionnula Flanagan - 1:20

Leonard John Crofoot - 1:25

In the Deceased talent autographs, 100% of the signers are now dead. Over the 100 boxes, there are several talents and cards that are duplicated, though no more than 2 of any card from deceased talent is present in the 100-box run.
There have been some amazing talents from the "Star Trek" franchise who have, unfortunately, died. There is no collectible more solid in its authentication than the pack-distributed autograph cards. For many, the only opportunity they will have to get autographs from their favorite characters or actors are cards like these. So much great talent from the franchise has died. Some of the best who are included in ST Metal are:

Some of the best, deceased, talent from the "Star Trek" franchise has cards in ST Metal!

In the random autograph cards, each one is different. 100 boxes, 100 different autograph cards! YEA!!!

So you hear that and figure, "That's where they're dumping the nobodies!" Well, take a look at this! Here's what we think are the top ten random autographs included in ST Metal:

Yeah, that's a Bakula! Yeah, that's two different Mulgrews! Is that Alice Eve?! Sure is! A dual autograph card? At least one in the random section! Autographed costume card?! Sure!

Chase Card Set

1:3.33 Ships Of The Line set (various sets)

1:12 Star Trek: Enterprise Archives Series 2 Relationship set (1 per case)

1:10 Star Trek Universe Art (various sets)

1:100 "Mirror, Mirror" Uncut set

1:100 "The City On The Edge Of Forever" Uncut set

What we think the top 10 hits in this category are:

Common Card Set

1:2 Star Trek: TOS 50th Anniversary

1:25 Women Of Star Trek 50th Anniversary/Star Trek 50th Anniversary

1:12 Women Of Star Trek Art & Images

1:3.33 Star Trek Art & Images

1:12 Star Trek InfleXions: StarFleet's Finest
