For part two of our variant series we will talk about Silver Brooch and Thistle of Scotland Gold Foil Variants. For information on Wardrobe Variants please visit Part One.

Foil Variant Cards

From left to right – Thistle of Scotland Gold Foil – Silver Brooch Foil – Regular

The following cards from the Outlander Season 1 release contain regular, Silver Brooch and Gold Thistle Cards.

72 Base Cards
9 Character Bio Cards (Chase Set #1)
9 Quote Cards (Chase Set #2)
9 Speak Outlander Cards (Chase Set #3)

Silver Brooch Foil Variants
(1:3 Pack Ratio)

In addition to the regular cards, there were 99 identical cards released with a tiny addition to each card – the Silver Brooch. These cards were mistakenly referred to as Silver Crest when they were first released. Since then, Cryptozoic has updated their website to reflect this change. For more information about this update CLICK HERE.

The distinguishing mark on this card is a silver foil brooch.

Thistle of Scotland Gold Foil Variants
(1:15 Pack Ratio)

In addition to the regular cards and the Silver Brooch cards, there were 99 additional cards released with a Thistle of Scotland Gold foil stamp.

These special cards are limited to 50 cards of each of the Base, Character Bio, Quote and Speak Outlander cards. In other words, there were 50 “Take me to Lallybroch” cards printed and stamped with the Thistle of Scotland Gold foil, so there are only 50 of these cards in existence.

On the back of the card there is a number stating which number card it is out of the 50 cards made. The card on the left is numbered 01/50.

Below is an example of a sequence of cards…

We hope this has helped explain and/or clear up a few questions you may have had about the Season 1 foil variants!

Happy Trading!

Many of you have seen the term “variant” floating around and wondered what in the world it means. Variant is a term that has been used in several different contexts so in this post I will attempt to sort that out and perhaps even clear things up a bit!

Variant has been used to describe:

Wardrobe cards with the same number and photo, but
- with completely different materials, or
- with different patterns of the same material

Base and chase cards with the same number and photo, but
- with a Silver Brooch foil stamp, or
- with a Gold Thistle foil stamp

Autograph Cards with the same signer, but with different signatures

In this first of three installments, we will discuss wardrobe cards with the same number and photo.

VARIANT: something that is different in some way from others of the same kind

A wardrobe card with the same number and photo, but with completely different materials is called a variant. Or in other words a wardrobe card that has been created using different materials from the same costume.

VARIATION: something that is similar to something else but different in some way

A wardrobe card with the same number and photo, but with different patterns of the same material has a variation. I know, I know, SO close, but not quite the same…

Season One Variant Wardrobe Cards

The fabric shown on the right was used for wardrobe card M37, the binder exclusive card. Pre-orders of the binder were so popular that they exceeded the amount of beige cotton apron fabric available. This is why there are some M37 cards that feature khaki wool from her trousers. ~ George Nadeau

So far the following wardrobe variants have been identified.

Season One Wardrobe Cards with Variations

Photo courtesy of Jennifer Lasell

These wardrobe cards are NOT variants because they are the same material. The fabric shown in both of these cards come from skirt on Jenny’s costume so they are actually variations of the same material. Most variations occur because of how and where the material was cut for placement in the wardrobe card.

So far the following wardrobe cards have been identified as having possible variations.
(You will notice most of these are patterned materials.)

M08 – Sam Heughan as Jamie Fraser

M10 – Caitroina Balfe as Claire Randall

M16 – Caitriona Balfe as Claire Randall

M22 – Sam Heughan as Jamie Fraser

M29 – Caitriona Balfe as Claire Randall

M31 – Laura Donnelly as Jenny Fraser

Special Case

There were two cards created with the same material.

The costume department provided us multiple pieces of solid brown fine wool for two different looks in the continuity book. We used the pieces to create two different cards, M14 and M26. ~ George Nadeau
