How many cards did the cast get to sign? Just cuse there are only a few numbered cards. Been curious about this for a while!

Why was the character Hayden McClaine played by Kate Mara completely left out of this series? She had a very big part. Not a single base card had her in it. Hmm…..

Just because an actor is in a series doesn’t mean we have their rights to use them in a trading card set and a lot of times they do not want to be in a series or will not agree to give us their rights to use in a series. This happens a lot now. She would not agree to sign etc. When doing a trading card series we always try to get everyone that was important in the series to sign and also be part of the series. So you know in the future on different series we work on if you see they are not in the series one of the reasons can be because of not having their likeness rights. We also try to get all of these actors to sign autograph cards but a lot of them will not agree to do so.

Thank you so much, Tom. I had no idea how it worked. I just figured you got the rights from the TV show or movie. I'm so surprised actors wouldn't be thrilled to have a trading card of themselves. Thank you for the education. And yes, going forward I will be looking more closely to those kind of things.

I thought the same thing as well!
Obv she isn't that nice of a person if she doesn't want to be included in cool things like cards. I'd love it if I was an actor, I wonder how bigger stars like Zac, evan and even connie can be nice enough to get invoked and unknowns can't be bothered!

Just one last question on this. Why were you able to use all kinds of Jessica Lange images, clothing, etc? Did she give permission, but just refused to sign cards? That would have been golden. 3 more seasons with her. I can only dream……...

We have the rights to use her image in the card series but Jessica Lange does not sign anything period.
