Frasier Premiere (Rittenhouse, 2026)

April 30, 2026, 08:57 AM

Busted two boxes as soon as they showed up. I loved this show and have seen every episode. At 5500 boxes, the title is more limited than some.

Box 69:
Full base set, 97 cards and 11 dups
1 Blue Border Parallel - #42
1 Eddie - E6
1 Quotable - Q7
1 Cafe Nervosa - CN9 Dr. Frasier Crane & Martin Crane
2 Character Canvas - C4 Roz Doyle, C18 Frederick Crane
2 Memorable Duos - MD2 Frasier & Martin, MD11 Miles & Daphne
Hits: 3 Autographs and 1 Relic
Peggy Miley, Inscription "Bernice" (76 - 100)
Millicent Martin, FB (EL)
Tom McGowan, B (EL)
Martin Crane's Pants, CR6 (1:72)

Box 224 ?, its 22? something, I lost the last number when I broke the seal:
Full base set: 97 cards and 11 dups
1 Blue border Parallel - #80
1 Eddie - E2
1 Quotable - Q5
1 Cafe Nervosa - CN7
2 Character Canvas: C1 Dr, Frasier Crane, C10 Lana Gardner
2 Memorable Duos - MD9 Fraiser & Kate, MD19 Frasier & Lana
Hits: 3 Autographs and 1 Relic
Trevor Einhorn, Inscription "I got pills for everything" (11 - 25)
Caroline Aaron, FB (L)
Dan Butler, B (SCARCE)
Martin Crane's Flannel Shirt, CR2 (1:72)

Even though I didn't get any GREAT hits, I think these 2 boxes were pretty good. They both had a relic card, but the ratio is 1:72, so 1 in 3 boxes on average. The big surprise was 3 autographs instead of the advertised 2 per box. I think RA may have upped the autographs seeded, as it has done before. No guarantee, but it may be 3 per box based on what I got and 1 other box I saw busted.

For myself, the best card was the Einhorn because I loved the inscription. I am not a fan of horizontal base cards, so I preferred the photos on the backs of the cards. What RA calls Border autographs here are the horizontal cards with round portraits. The style isn't what the B cards should be to me. The other issue is that RA has SCARCE and EL designations on many cards from minor signers, but that is always true.

All in all, I enjoyed opening my packs, but this may be my only sealed boxes busted this year. The value I got wasn't bad, but the relics helped. My goal was a big autograph, so next time on that.
