The first effect of this card reads:
-
: After spending a
from your deck, if that
requires a Skill Herbert possesses, move that card to your hand.
Why does this card mention an expenditure of 0 credits? Or does it mean I have to expend a card with a printed Expense Value of at least 0 credits?
Thanks.

Couple of reasons. First, by having a credit cost, even a cost of
, it means that anything that may modify the credit cost to use of crew abilities would also be able to modify this ability. Currently I don't think there are any such effects, but there could be.
Second, as a matter of formatting, since the action has a timing restriction, we thought we should also give it costing for clarity.
A cost of
is free, you don't have to expend any
to meet it.
