The Complete Star Trek: The Next Generation Series 1 Although Star Trek disappeared from TV screens as an original series several years ago with Enterprise, the Star Trek fan base still exists stronger than ever. When Star Trek: The Next Generation first appeared on TV there were mixed reactions from the fans. Diehard original series fans weren't so sure they could warm up to a new Enterprise crew while others were excited to see Star Trek, in any form, back on TV. With the success of the Star Trek movies fans were clamoring for more Trek. While staying true to the original series, TNG soon found its own voice and so was launched a new Star Trek TV series franchise that would soon spawn three other Trek series: Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise. Rittenhouse Archive (Sci-Fi Hobby) has released a new Star Trek: The Next Generation Trading Cards series that covers the first half of the acclaimed series. Over 500 images are taken from the first 88 episodes. Five Cards come per Pack with 24 Packs per Box. Each Box is guaranteed to contain four Autograph Cards. Mine consists of Jeff McCarthy, Dana Sparks, Alan Shearman and William Denis. Fans should be on the look out for randomly inserted Cut Signature Gene Roddenberry Cards. Other randomly inserted Bonus Cards include 18 Tribute Cards (I received 4), 13 Alien Cards (3 for me), 9 Enterprise Cards (2), 5 Communicator Pin Cards (zip) and 90 Parallel Base Cards (8). All of the Bonus Cards are on high-gloss stock while the 90 Regular Base Cards are on matt finish stock. Special multiple Case purchase incentives and a Collectors Album are also
available.
Stargate Universe: Season 2 Premium Packs Limited to only 250 Boxes with 15 Premium Packs (all are numbered up to 3750) per Box each Stargate Universe Premium Pack contains 6 Cards broken down in these categories: 2 Autographs, 2 Episode, 1 Destiny and 1 Secrets that are also numbered. These are the ultimate Stargate Universe Trading Cards where each Pack guarantees excellent and highly collectible cards. In total, randomly inserted Premium Cards include 20 Episode, 9 Destiny, 9 Secrets and 15 Autograph Cards. Like all of Rittenhouse's Trading Cards the Stargate Universe Premium Pack Cards are printed on the finest paper stock with high gloss ink and brilliant photos. Instead of telling you about the Cards I received in my Pack, check out the photo above.
James Bond Mission Logs New from Rittenhouse Archives comes a brand new James Bond Trading Card Set consisting of 66 Base Cards (I assembled one full Set out of my Box). Five Cards come per pack with 24 packs per Box and 12 boxes per Case. All 22 of the James Bond films are represented with three Cards per film
from Dr. No to Quantum Of Solace and featuring some never-seen-before
published photos. Two Autograph Cards (including for the first time Pierce Brosnan) (I got Toby Stephens as Gustav Graves in Die Another Day and Ulrich Thomsen as Davidov in The World is Not Enough) and one Relic Card (mine is James Bond's Russian Nuclear Bunker Suit from the World Is Not Enough) per Box! Bonus Sets include Expansion Cards for Rittenhouse's classic Bond Chase sets: Femme Fatales (Halle Berry is mine), Bond Villains (two for me), Bond Allies (zip) and "Bond…James Bond" (two again). Other Special Incentive Cards are available, depending on the number of
Cases you order.
Rittenhouse Archives has taken images from the newly released remastered original Star Trek TV series DVDs and created a brand new set of trading cards that really show off the intense new colors, spectacular effects and CGI spaceships and planets. Twenty Four Packs come per Box with five Cards per Pack. Eighty one Cards make up a Base Set (I assemble one full Set with a considerable amount left over to put a dent in a second Set). For you completists out there Rittenhouse also offers a special Collector’s Album that comes with an exclusive Chase Card. To help celebrate the remastered DVD release Rittenhouse has randomly inserted some impressive new Chase Cards. Each Box contains one double Autograph Card (I received Richard Evans and William Wintersole from the episode Patterns Of Force) and one single Autograph Card (my Box contained a George Takei as Sulu from The Naked Time). Other Chase Cards include: 18-card Star Trek Tribute Expansion Set (Four for me) Additional Chase Cards are available when you buy multiple Cases.
Stargate Universe may have been cancelled by SyFy Network but the trading cards live on with Rittenhouse Archives' SGU: Stargate Universe Season 1 Trading Cards. With 72 Cards per Base Set (I assembled one full Base Set with a sizable chunk for another) the five Cards per Foil Pack, 24 Packs per Box Trading Cards capture key scenes from the First Season of the third Stargate series. Noticeably darker than its two predecessors (Stargate: SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis), SGU was just coming into its own when it was unexpectedly cancelled by SyFy. Rittenhouse Archives has done an excellent job of selecting images from the show featuring episode photos and behind-the-scenes candid shots. As with all Rittenhouse Archives Trading Cards, collectors can expect excellent randomly inserted Bonus Cards. Look Quotable Eli Cards (I received 3), Lenticular Cards (make that 1 for me), Transparent Crew Cards (2 in my selection) and guaranteed 3 Autograph Cards (Julia Benson, Haig Sutherland and Brian Smith are mine) and 2 Costume Relic Cards (Alan Armstrong and Eli Wallace came in my Box). Special Case Cards are available as is a special Collector's Album.
Heroes And Warehouse Recently Rittenhouse Archives released two new sets of Trading Cards: Heroes Archives and Warehouse 13 Season 1.

Both Sets of Cards come in 24 Foil Packs per Box and five Cards per Pack. I was easily able to assemble a Base Set of both Sets of cards and had enough duplicates to put a serious dent on a second Set of each Trading Card selection. Heroes fans are sure to be pleased with the Heroes Archives Set as six (Count them, six!) Autograph Cards come per Box along with a Relic Card. I received the following Autograph Cards: Shalim Ortiz, Jassalyn Gilsig, Todd Stashwick, Blake Shields, Tessa Thompson and James Kyson Lee.

Randomly inserted, fold-over Artifact Cards are also included (I found 3). Look for Case Incentive Cards and a special Collector’s Album.

Few can dispute the fact that the James Bond movies have some of the most memorable villains and heroes ever created. With names like Pussy Galore, Goldfinger, 006, Thumper, Bambi, M, Q, Blofeld and dozens of other characters the James Bond movies never fail to entertain. Rittenhouse Archives presents a complete collection of Heroes & Villains Trading Cards from all 22 official James Bond films.

Every Rittenhouse Archives Trading Card Box I've received has always contained a full Base Set), with five Cards per Foil Pack and 24 Foil Packs per Box.

8 James Bond Prop Relic Cards All of the Trading Cards are printed on heavy paper stock and varnished on one side with a brief description of each character on their backs.
Rittenhouse Archives recently released a new set of Star Trek Trading Cards that spotlight the ladies of Star Trek. As hard it is to believe there used to be a time when strong female lead characters were few and far between in the world of TV. Sure, there were comedy sitcoms and the occasional drama that starred woman but they were often portrayed as weak and dependent on their male counterparts to get them out of trouble. When Star Trek was first broadcast in 1966 not only was there a strong, independent female costar (Uhura) on the series but she was black as well. Talk about ground-breaking! Strong females have always played pivotal roles in each Star Trek series either as heroines or protagonists. Uhura, Janeway, Seven of Nine, Dak, Troi and dozens of other female characters kept the shows fresh and relevant. The new Trading Card Set from Rittenhouse Archive, consisting of 81 Base Cards (I assembled one full Set), consists of photo Cards of each character in chronological order of appearance by series. As with all Rittenhouse Trading Cards, this series has some outstanding randomly inserted Bonus Cards. Three Autograph Cards are guaranteed per box (I received Terry Ferrell, Denise Cosby and Michele Scarabelli) and two Relic Cards per Box (I got as piece of Janeway’s uniform and T-Pol’s outfit). Also look for nine Portrait Gallery cards (three for me), nine Leading Ladies Cards (one in my Box) and nine Romantic Relationships Cards (again one). Five Cards come per Foil Pack with 24 Packs per Box. The more boxes and cases you buy the
bigger and better Bonus Cards. Check
Rittenhouse Archives’ website for full information.
