FANDERSON REPLICA CARDS

In August 2015, the fan club Fanderson created an additional card, in the same style, as part of their membership package- "No.51"/ "Commissioner Simmonds". The rear of the card still says "Series of 50", but the "Geo.Bassett & Co." credit at the bottom is replaced with a Fanderson "The Future Is Fantastic!" logo.

No.51
Commissioner Simmonds
CEO of the World Space Commission, Simmonds oversees the launch of the Meta Probe from Moonbase Alpha. But when the Moon is accidentally blasted out of Earth's orbit, he tries to assert his political power by insisting on being taken home.

For the October 2015 convention, a replica of the rare card 42 was created and added to a pack of candy sticks (no longer "sweet cigarettes"). The reverse of the card replaces the "Geo. Bassett and co" credit with Fanderson.org.uk.

Also at the 2015 convention, "The Future is Fantastic!", a new Fanderson set of 50 cards were produced, covering all the Gerry Anderson series from Supercar to Space: 1999. Cards 46 to 50 were Space: 1999. These were sold by Fanderson for £6.50

Second Series (2024)

At the 2024 convention on 13th September 2024, Fanderson launched a new "second series" set, as a sequel to the original Barratt cards. This is a full set of 50 cards, in the style of the Barratt cards, with year 2 photos. The cost for the set was £7.50
