2016 Rittenhouse Star Trek: The Next Generation Portfolio Prints Series 2 Checklist, Details
2016 Rittenhouse Star Trek: The Next Generation Portfolio Prints Series 2 trading cards offer up the second half of Juan Ortiz’s exploration of the popular spinoff. Filling in the gaps from 2015’s Series 1, missing episodes get their shot in the base set.
And while artwork may dominate the main part of the product and several inserts, that’s not the case with the primary premium inserts, autographs. They land three per box and come in a couple of different forms.
Base Set
The 88-card 2016 Rittenhouse Star Trek: The Next Generation Portfolio Prints Series 2 base set features 88 cards. This fills out the remainder of the series. Each TNG episode has been interpreted by artist Juan Ortiz and made into a piece of poster-style art.
If you collected Series 1, you likely noticed the base set only had odd numbers. Consider these to be the evens to fill out the master checklist.
All 88 base cards have a Gold parallel. Inserted one per box, these have a facsimile signature of Ortiz. Every other box also has a parallel with Ortiz’s authentic signature for a second series of parallels.
Autographs
Autographs are inserted 1:8 packs. Around 40 actors are on tap to sign for this set. Many of the top stars are signing with the newer Silver Signature Series design. These have a dark backdrop and are signed with a silver pen. While Rittenhouse has used the style for several other lines, including Star Trek: TOS, these are some of the first for The Next Generation.
Long-time TNG collectors will recognize the returning autograph design for the secondary characters and guests. It continues the look that has been used for the show for years. One of the notable inclusions here is Mick Fleetwood, one of the founding members of Fleetwood Mac.
Sketch Cards
Sketch cards continue to be a growing focus for Rittenhouse’s Star Trek line. Here, they’re a case hit landing 1:288 packs. As with their other recent sets, the card maker is striving for a more high-end approach to these.
Inserts
A few inserts carry on with the product’s overarching art theme. TNG Comics (40 cards, 1:24 packs) highlight the work found in the 1989 comic book series. TNG Comics Archive Cuts (40 cards, 1:48 packs) take it a step further with actual panel pieces cut from original books. Both of these sets were also in Portfolio Prints Series 1.
Other evolving insert sets include Ships of the Line (nine cards, 1:48) and TNG Universe Art (nine cards, 1:24) that highlight specific characters.
Metal cards are a second case hit. Each is numbered to 100 or less.
Incentives
Those ordering by the case get a few extras. For starters, there are two case toppers, I Am Locutus and Q. One of these is included with each case.
The six-case incentive is a Dual Autograph signed by Brent Spiner (Data) and Denise Crosby (Yar). A hand-painted sketch card by Charles Hall, Mick Glebe or Matt Glebe is available to those buying nine cases. Finally, there’s a special Archive Box with a pair of sketch cards as an 18-case incentive.
