Stellar Collectibles is issuing its first series of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Trading Cards, featuring gorgeous swimsuit models such as Rachel Hunter, Daniela Pestova, Molly Sims, Petra Nemecova, Yamilla Diaz, Christy Brinkley, and Cheryl Tiegs photographed on some of the most exotic beaches in the world.  The base set includes 98 cards featuring unpublished images from the 2003 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue photo shoot.  The 'chase cards' are as exotic as the locations, especially the 10 'Body Sand' cards, which come with actual grains of sand taken from the model's bodies during the photo shoot.  Other chase subsets include autograph cards signed by the models and memorabilia cards, which include material swatches from the swimsuits worn by the models during the shoot.  In addition to images from the 2003 swimsuit shoot, the series also includes 10 'classic cards' with images personally selected by the models, and 5 'cover cards', featuring the hottest covers from years past.

The SI Swimsuit Trading Cards are due out in November.  Each pack contains 10 cards and each box comes with 24 packs.
