and if it's not an issue, who does this apply to?
As noted upthread, Jeffrey Hunter is one. (
The Orion Underworld is another card with Pike that I suppose would've snuck in under the wire like
Christopher Pike from
All Good Things.) I believe Whoopi Goldberg is another* (though that may have been more that she was very hard to reach for approvals than actually disallowing certain images, though I recall at least one such being mentioned--Gloria from Cleveland?). I also seem to recall Marina Sirtis saying that she wouldn't approve any image of her from "Encounter at Farpoint".
I further seem to recall something about how it was easier to make cards from DS9, Voyager and Enterprise (at least the first of those) because actor contracts for those shows included pre-approval of images, while TOS and TNG contracts didn't. (I'm probably wrong on this.)
*IIRC, during NE reveals it was noted that the image on
Guinan, Listener was an image that had been approved by Goldberg way back when but that D hadn't used.
