Just in case anyone missed it on the Ustream broadcast today, Rittenhouse Archives' Steve Charendoff announced 5 new licenses today at the NSU Card Talk member gathering:

- NCIS
- Caprica
- Eureka
- Spartacus
- Merlin

Some of these will come out in their new factory set format and may later come in traditional box/pack format.

Fantastic news Harris!!!

I'm so excited for Eureka & Spartacus and I hope both sets will feature autographs.

What is the factory set format?

Ah, NCIS has my attention, and bits and pieces of Spartacus and Eureka might interest me. Nice to see them getting some new blood in their line-up, hopefully it goes well for them so we can see other new stuff in the future. I'm praying the get the license for the Spider-Man reboot, I'm loving the way it's shaping up and I'd rather see a set from RA than UD.

Glad to see Merlin on the list.

Merlin - Very Good

really happy about Caprica and Spartacus

I will be interested to see what happens with Merlin given this is a BBC show and the problems other card companies have had when trying to produce cards licensed by them.

Very happy for Caprica.

Spartacus and Merlin scream factory set to me, and depending on who they can get to sign, so does Caprica.

NCIS is a show that I could never get into but my wife loves it. The Eureka set should be pretty exciting.

Wow, my two favourite shows coming to trading cards, after no releases interesting me since Buffy stopped.

10-10-10 does have great news, I want cards !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those are some nice sets for sure

only caprica for me,i want more heroes (i know its unlikely) just been watching season 4 and really got into it.

don t see appeal of spartacus at all,if i want nudey men i ed buy wwf

NCIS gets my attention

While I personally don't have much interest overall in any of the five properties, it is wonderful to see a company go out on a limb with some new titles.

I know NCIS has a good following on television, and have had some decent success in the trading card arena. I imagine Caprica was an easy sell with the BSG fans; and Eureka was a likely pick up due to RA also having Warehouse 13. Spartacus and Merlin, though, I know little about aside from the fact they exist.

Again, great news all around with a company extending themselves into sometimes unfamiliar (and untested) waters.

Looking at the philly show photo's and the lost banner - it looks like there must be one more set due
