Between International Space Station Expedition 1 and Expedition 42, there have been 55 lithos issued. You hardly ever see them for sale, either here or anywhere else.

No love for them? Just find that strange.

At the Ultimate Science Street Fair in NYC last June, there were STS-134 lithos on the freebie table even though Mike Hopkins was there. And when Karen Nyberg and Luca Parmitano made an appearance last March at the University of Maryland, they were signing individual portraits that were provided, even though they were two-thirds of an expedition (missing Yurchikhin).

That said, I do have an Expedition 6 litho I must have gotten from some freebie table, because my main interest is in shuttle astronauts. I can say upon some thought that I haven't seen ISS lithos on the freebie tables — because any lithos (and stickers, and other "gimmes") I take for my trade pile, or to bring and give to mostly kids who want an autograph but don't have a photo or a litho.
