Promo snafu in the Jun/Jul issue of NSU

H_ToserPromo snafu in the Jun/Jul issue of NSU
We received our copies of the Jun/Jul issue in today, just in time for this weekend's Philly show and discovered an oversight with the promos in the issue. While the cover of the new issue says there is a Batman Archives card inside, there is not. Instead, there is a Stargate SG-1 Season 10 card. It is promo P2.
The image below shows the three cards in the new issue - Stargate SG-1 Season 10 (P2), Battlestar Galactica Season 3 P2, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (P5).
We are talking with Rittenhouse about this now and trying to determine if we will have the Batman Archives card next issue, another card that has already been solicited, or both. When I know for certain, I will post again about that.
We wanted to let everyone know so that there will hopefully be a little less confusion when you all receive your Jun/Jul issues. Tell your card collecting friends!
Thanks for your understanding.

hollypopI'm glad I 'poked' my head in here to find out what's going on- thanks, Harris for keeping us posted.

It would be great if you do eventually get the Batman Archives promo card- good luck!

We received word the other day from Rittenhouse Archives that we will in fact have both the Batman Archives card in addition to the already promised Stargate Atlantis Seasons 3 & 4 promo in the upcoming issue. As always, though, this is subject to change should something happen at the last moment but that's the plan right now.

Here's an image of the Batman Archives card:

No Batman Archives card with my issue Just SG-SG1, Indy & BG.
Will it now be in the Aug/Sept issue?

H_ToserYes, as Wolfie says, the Batman card will be in the upcoming Aug/Sep issue, shipping in July. They'll also be some other changes to the list of promos that we currently list on the website and in the magazine. I believe the Batman cards are already sitting in our printer's offices, though, so that's pretty much a done deal that it will be in the issue.

s8zaphodSo what are the promos for the next issue? Is the Jericho: Season Two promo listed going to be with the next issue or was that a typo? I am hoping Jericho Season Two card Boxes come out soon!!!

No, that was not a typo. Inkworks had intended to provide us with a Jericho Season 2 card when we published the list of promos but in the interim, the card series was canceled. I assume all promos were then canceled. Obviously, they do not need to promote the series in NSU.
I think the list of cards for the next issue is now finalized. It is as follows:
- Batman Archives
- Star Wars The Clone Wars
- Stargate Atlantis Seasons 3 & 4
- Donruss Americana Series II (2 differently randomly inserted cards)
Thanks.
