Rittenhouse picks up DOCTOR WHO!!
Well, I loved that Flux/Specials era, so they'd certainly be exciting for me. And given how quickly the S11-12 set sold? For others too.

If they get Ncuti of course, that's a big deal. Like Jodie, Matt and Eccleston...rookie autos not just for Who but anywhere.

I liked the Flux stuff too. Smile Some of the better Jodie era episodes.
I don't care much for Ncuti as the Doctor... yet, even though I loved him in Sex Edcuation. I think it's the writing I just hate, all a bit too dumbed down and thick compared to previous seasons, or I'm just truly too old for it these days. Smile From the Christmas episode, 'Anita' stole the show... if she came back it would be interesting. Or perhaps she's a version of Mrs. Flood as some seem to think. Big Grin

A sell-out doesn't always mean popularity to collectors, it just means it sold out from RA, which their sets always do, generally speaking. I regularly see cards from the DW RA sets come up in my email alerts, so they're not too hard to find and often at bargain prices.

The word 'rookie' always sounds more appropriate for sports cards, always sounds kind of odd for non-sports, and isn't used much on these boards. Big Grin

Steve confirmed Capaldi has turned down the chance to sign cards multiple times (he's also stopped doing cons) - so Ncuti is the only new Doctor we can hope for with this years set.

With Bill (Pearl Mackie), Nardole (Matt Lucas), Graham (Bradley Walsh), Dan (John Bishop), Vinder (Jacob Anderson) and Ruby (Millie Gibson) the companions still missing.

Any of those would be nice to fill gaps.

Jacob Anderson signed several cards for GoT, so he would probably sign again. Don't know about the others, but it would be nice to add them.

Yeah, he seems most likely. Though there are plenty of GOT signers who didn't sign for the 3 major Who sets from RA that would seem easy gets.

I'd say, since Steve says the Capaldi era will be represented even if he doesn't sign (and TOPPS had plenty of 12th era autos as he was The Doctor when they had the licence) that Maisie Williams has a decent chance of being included in the next series since she's signed loads of GOT.

Doctors and companions are always desirable for people's PC's even if the actors aren't major stars, so hopefully some action on em.

And hey, RA got Andrew Garfield just for Who cards, so can work the odd miracle - so why not dream big Wink

They probably paid Garfield a fortune for those 25 cards he signed. As far as GOT, I’m wondering if they all command higher prices, since the cases are considerably more expensive than regular cases…just speculation. I don’t know any of this to be a fact. I really hope they get Maisie Williams to sign, and I’m still holding out hope for Carey Mulligan too.
