Initial details of the Game of Thrones Season 3 set have been posted on the Rittenhouse website.

The gold autograph cards look really nice!!

Sadly, still no Liam Cunningham.

I haven't been following closely so I don't know whether this is old news, but Rittenhouse has posted a photo on their Facebook page of a Carice Van Houten autograph card featuring another new card design:

I love how willing the vast majority of the cast is to sign autographs! So new designs seemed likely - I don't collect any particular design but I quite like this one!

Mackenzie Crook, Paul Kaye, Thomas Sangster and Clive Russell are four I am hoping to see.

I had sent my custom GOT cards to these actors. Had success with all of them except Mackenzie.

This was posted by Steve on the RA boards yesterday:

"The GOT checklist will be posted tomorrow, with a list of the sketch card artists and relic cards. Sketches will be inserted approx. every other case, and same for the relics. This year, we have many more sketches than what we had last year, and fewer relics this year. The full autograph list will be posted as we get closer to the release date, as we're still working on adding some names. However, we do not expect to add any major actors/characters to the list of autographs beyond the ones who have already been posted to the website."

So it looks like we can expect the preliminary checklist some time today...

Thanks...Hoping the autograph list will get posted soon.

Are the sketches just like season two where we have no character images approved?

yeah, they tried their best, hopefully next set

The Relics are disappointing, but increased sketches are great news and gives me more money to spend on autos

Let me go out on a limb and say that the main cast will all be XL or VL, and the ones you are less familiar with will be commons.

That might be true, but for some reason I have pulled more main cast member autographs from both GOT Seasons 1 and 2 than any other TV/Movie card product that I can name. Maybe it's because there are so many characters that play large roles in the story or maybe its just my luck with this title, but I have gotten good value here and hope it holds up.

Full checklist with all autographs is now up on RA's site:

A shame Oona Chaplin is an Extremely Limited, loving her in 'The Crimson Field' right now. Also a shame that two other ELs are also the multi-case incentive signers, in a different design/colour. But there's plenty of the other signers I'd be very happy to find. As with all GoT releases so far,most of the autographs are ones I'd be happy with. Great to see that Carice van Houten is only Limited, that's one I really want.

I was kind of surprised that four of the bigger names didn't sign this time around. Two of those characters bite the dust in Season 3, so I was hoping for at least one more autograph from them both.

And not including Clarke really hurts.

Still an impressive autograph list with the golds and blues added, just that the other two sets got me spoiled I guess.

Yeah, I was surprised there were no cards for Richard Madden and Michelle Fairley and not for Emilia Clarke...especially as they'd signed for the other sets. There was also an opening for a dual or two.
But, yes, we've been spoiled by the first two sets. It's nice that most of the minor character auto cards are worthwhile, and none of that 'Receptionist #2 in hotel' random autos other sets do which are basically of little interest or worth. The beauty of GoT is the sheer size of the character/cast list.

I'm a bit surprised they haven't made a full bleed Sean Bean autograph.

Oh well..Was hoping they would get Liam Cunningham to sign.
