Yes, thank you.

This is the one Klingon card that I have. I had to buy a whole
set to get it. I felt a LITTLE ripped off, considering that the
set was advertised as "International", including "Klingon".
Well, it included one card translated into five other
languages. The rest of the cards are in English only.

I'm pretty sure that Lawrence has these three for the KLI
archives. Hmmm. Did he also get card #99? (All the Ferrengi on
the list get excited.)

I'm pretty sure you are right. There are four. I had forgotten
about the DS9 one.
