Notes/Comments: There are three different versions of the backside printing for this plate. The frontside artwork is exactly the same. One version of the backside does not contain any kind of legal "Food Warning" print. The second version contains a "short" version of a legal "Food Warning" that warns of not using the plate for food use. The third version contains a "long" version of a legal "Food Warning" that warns of not using the plate for food use. This is a small difference but for collectors it is what differentiates the three plates. The photos of the Spock plate below show the three versions of no print/"short" print/"long" print next to the Star Trek insignia symbol just above the Plate Number. From a collectors perspective this eight plate series becomes a twenty-four plate series when this difference is taken into account.
