At the Industry Summit in Las Vegas, Press Pass announced a Parks and Recreation set.

2 autographs and a relic per box. Signers so far include Amy Poehler, Rob Lowe, Rashida Jones and Aziz Asnari.

I suspect this one could be VERY popular based on the autographs. Not much info yet as they're still finalizing details but expect a very strong autograph lineup.

This has just started showing on BBC in the UK(nothing like being up to date ) and I quite like it.

Ooh, that's a good one. I've always been a fan of the show.

That is awesome! If it is successful would love to see Press Pass maybe get the license for the 8:00pm slot on Thursday night (the show on before Parks and Rec) Community. Community is SO ripe for a trading card set. Its full of pop culture references and guest stars

Agreed. Would LOVE Community. The audience might not be huge, but they're passionate. And while it's winding down, The Office would be another GREAT set.

Community is one of my Favourite shows
I would love someone to do a Community set so badly, and yes, that very true about the fan base

It's nice to see Press Pass taking the next step and moving into the more mainstream non sports sets of tv shows and movies. Press Pass does very nice sets, especially the Racing and Elvis sets.
I hope this set does well, the success of the Big Bang Theory sets opened the door for sit-com sets and there are several I'd like to see (like Community, How I Met Your Mother, Modern Family, Suburgatory and others) and if P & R is successful it makes it that more likely companies will give other shows a chance.
With all these new and different licenses and new companies it's feeling more and more like we are entering a new golden age of non sports. I haven't felt this excited about collecting since the early Buffy days.

I will own a Rashida Jones autograph

More info on the set...

So, 2 on card autographs and 1 relic card per box, as well as different color ink variations for the autographs. Kind of neat, much like some of their Elvis sets which had red ink variations (I have 2 of the 24 Mary Tyler Moore red ink autographs).

I will definitely be getting some P & R cards for my collection.

I'm so excited! I haven't collected a new release in a loooong time and this is my favorite show! I really hope they can get Adam Scott to sign. He seems very fan friendly (as does most of the cast), so I can definitely see it happening. I would kill (figuratively speaking, of course ) for a dual Poehler/Scott auto.

No freakin way!

Finally a comedy set for me! I have always wanted an office set, Parks and Req are a close second for me

A Rashida jones auto would be nice but she could just as well have signed the office,i would have prefered some company did the office

There should be a "Lil' Sebastian" memorial card for sure.

And keeping with the spirit of the show, they could perhaps have all of the Jerry autographs signed upside down with the words
"Jerry! Why?!" printed on the card with an arrow pointing to the autograph.

For those not super familiar with the show, Jerry is a character who is always criticized by all of the others, pretty much no matter what he does, even when some of it is awesome. (He a genius painter, for instance, and is married to Christie Brinkley and the father of three daughters who are all very beautiful). The running joke is that he's a total fool who can do no right, and never gets credit, even when he does.

A Ron and ex-wife Tammy Swanson dual autograph card would be great since the actors who play them (Nick Offerman & Megan Mulally) on the show are married in real life, and the episode that introduced her is one of the funniest P&R episodes ever. A dual autograph card of the couples on the show, Ben and Leslie, as well as one from Andy and April would be great, too. Let's hope Chris Pratt, Aubrey Plaza, and Adam Scott are willing to sign, singles would be fine.

For genre fans, Lucy Lawless has been guest starring on the show lately, so Xena fans could get another crack at an autograph from Lucy, who has always been a willing signer in the past. There have been some great guest stars, too, including Paul Rudd, Mo Collins, and Detlef Schrempf (google him!) as the show has been on for around 4 years already.

Obviously, I'm a and will definitely pick up at least a few boxes. Way to go, Press Pass.

We have a preview of Parks and Recreation today on the blog including images of the base cards, autographs, and more:

Parks and Recreation Preview

Harris, thanks for sharing! THAT IS AWESOME.

Finally, another set my wife can enjoy with me

Great stuff!

These look great! Seems like they used the opening credit sequence as inspiration for the design. I'm really anxious to see the final autograph lineup. I hope they can get most if not all of the main cast. There are also many guest stars I'd love to see sign.

Speak of Lil' Sebastian and he magically appears, on a base card, no less!

Nice to see John-Ralphio Saperstein, too, hope there's a signed card for him. His sister Monalisa was just introduced, played by Jenny Slate, and she's a real breakout character.
I see them spinning off into another show.

Covering seasons 1-4 could lead to a stellar auto list.

Amy Poehler
Rashida Jones
Chris Pratt
Aziz Ansari
Paul Schneider
Nick Offerman
Aubrey Plaza
Jim O’Heir
Retta
Pamela Reed
Jama Williamson
Alison Becker
Mo Collins
Louis C.K.
Jay Jackson
Megan Mullally
Will Arnett
Ben Schwartz
John Larroquette
Andy Samberg
Michael Gross
Detlef Schrempf
Rob Lowe
Adam Scott
Natalie Morales
Brian McCann
Will Forte
Eric Pierpoint
Mara Marini
Parker Posey
Matt Besser
Patricia Clarkson
Dan Castellaneta
Sarah Wright
Paul Rudd
Kathryn Hahn
Mike O’Malley

I'd be happy if they even got half of that list to sign.

Thanks for the link Harris, I love the look of the cards.
I've never watched the show, but I think I might have to start now

I hadn't really heard much of Press Pass before, Incarnadine spoke of Racing and Elvis.
I don't collect either of those sort of subjects, have they done anything else?

In the 90s they did a lot of collage sports cards. I remember that.
