Potter was their big thing and they no longer have the license. I did ask them at Comic-Con if they were leaving the trading card game and they said there were 2 or 3 licenses they had their eyes on. But to be honest they didn't seem very enthusiastic about it so they may be done for all we know.

It would be a shame to loose them. Even with the Mad Eye Moody mess, I thought they had some great product.

Disappointed that the potter trading card series ended that way. Artbox just seemed to go poof overnight.

Who would want it? Artbox done such a bang-up job with it, it's had to think (apart from sketches) what anyone else could bring to the franchise.

Some company will bleed it dry,you have only got to look at Rittenhouse Archives.they will continue to make countless more Bond and Star trek sets till the day there no actors left to sign cards.

Then they will suddenly find "cut" signatures from other releases they can make into Bond and Trek.

Big Grin As a card collector not defined as a Bond or Star Trek fan I understand your point. Many of the recent autograph additions are actors whose names I have never heard and did little on screen. Wink

However these sets are still eagerly received by those collectors who want all things Bond or ST. So to say that RA is bleeding it dry when there is a market for more of it and it makes money is not correct.

I wish that I would see RA going after more new titles now, all I hear about is Cryptozoic lately. But just because you or I may not care about Bond or ST anymore, its still profitable for RA as long as that fanbase is happy.

I'm a big trek fan and I'm bored to death with it all now,some people sign cards and they don't even talk in the show!!its madness.the ones that fans want are short printed and are expensive.I'm trying to get each one of the Shatner autos and its one hell of a task and I just know Rittenhouse are sitting on tons of them!!this shambles with "finding" 200 Doohan cards proves my case.I'm also a fan of T.Z. And its shamefull to do this to a dead actors cards which he signed in good faith for T.Z.I'm getting realled annoyed just thinking about it!!!

God I hope Rittenhouse continues to make bond sets for along time because not to have that would kill my interest in nonsports cards

What 200 Doohan cards are we talking about?

There were 50 cut for the current product. I didn't think there were 150 of the previous one.

And, I think it's the unfortunate truth that there will always be a stash of additional autographs.

Rittenhouse will continue to make Trek and Bond as long as they continue to sell out. Someone's buying these cards.

I have a deathly hallows part 1 redemption card for Ginny Weasley's autograph...

Do you think I should send it off to them despite the no-communication thing?

There were 150 additional Doohan cuts included in Star Trek TOS 40th series 2.

Here's the thing that bothers me about this. I can see RA holding some of these back for replacements but it appears what they did with his Twilight Zone card was "artificially" make it Very Limited or maybe even Extremely Limited when there was no need. Maybe this practice is more common then we know. If a person signs say 700 cards, to only insert maybe 200 or 300 in the packs because it's a bigger name or they need to add a "Very Limited" to fill out the set. It just doesn't seem right though.
