Many readers will be familiar with Rittenhouse Archives’ Art and Images card design, printed on canvas textured stock to resemble a painting. Star Trek: The Original Series and Xena are among the subjects receiving the A &I treatment. Rittenhouse has done several sets with a Women of Trek theme and now is a good time for another with so many new characters available. While still in the planning stages, Steve Charendoff says, “This will likely be a 72-card base set featuring artistic images of the most important or popular characters throughout the entire Star Trek mythology, including Discovery.”
Autographs will be the big hits, with three per box. Even though Majel Barrett has been gone for many years, Charendoff adds, “We have some autographs of Majel Barrrett she signed many years ago for us but which were never released before. Very cool to have those. Other key autographs include Nichelle Nichols, Sonequa Martin Green, Ashley Judd, and dozens of others across the entire mythology.” Sketches will also be found, and Charendoff says, “We will also have some great sketch cards, including some really outstanding (and often very funny) cards drawn by Andy Price! Overall, I expect this to be one of the most attractive looking sets we’ve ever made for Star Trek, since so much of it is artistic in nature.” Watch for Women of Star Trek: Art and Images this summer.
