The cards are the standard 3.5x2.5 size, printed with full bleed (colour right to the edges of the cards). The cards are printed on chromium stock, this being a special format with a layer of (presumably) chromium foil, so thin as to be transparent, with a card backing, the metal foil being embossed and overprinted with transparent ink which gives a metallic lustre to the image background, over which are portions printed in opaque ink, this being covered by a transparent layer which seems to be plastic, the whole being covered with a UV-opaque layer. The resultant image gives an illusion of depth and is bright and colourful, but which is difficult to scan with pleasing results.
The set consists of 90 cards, 79 being images previously published in series 1 to 4, and 10 being previously unpublished on trading cards. There are, in addition to the basic set, 6 Omnichrome cards (3 to a box), 3 Triadmiration subset cards (1 to a box), a medallion card (one in five boxes), and a signature card (500 in total) signed by Boris himself. A parallel set of Holochrome cards, with refractive backgrounds, was included at two cards per box. These refractive cards in some light have a rainbow glow, and in others will give an opalescent backdrop (and, curiously, scan very well indeed, with none of the refractive effects visible). The set was published in 1995.
The cards are listed below in numerical order. The images are
included purely to give an idea of what's in the card set, and there is
no larger image behind the thumbnail. The spelling here is taken
directly from the back of the cards, errors included.
