Blakes 7 - Vila

A bit of a story behind this series. Half way through the project the B7 people decided they wanted firmer control on the card set (in preparation for their relaunch of B7, presumably) and then rejected all but a few artists.
So while not pack-inserted my cards are being used as “incentives” and/or “redemptions”.
