Inkworks will ship Spike:  The Complete Story, a 72-card series with lots of extras, in February.  The series will be the first cross-over set in which both Buffy and Angel images are used.  The bonus cards include autograph cards featuring the signatures of James Marsters, Juliet Landau, Julie Benz, and seven other stars; a nine-card foil embossed puzzle featuring art by Boris Vallejo; puzzle cards signed by Boris Vallejo (at a one per case insertion rate); two unique Pieceworks cards with pieces of Spike's leather coat, one commemorating Buffy, one Angel; plus three different box loader cards and one case loader card.  Three SKUs will be offered:  the packs at $2.49 MSRP; uncut min-press sheets of the Vallejo illustration in a numbered, limited edition of 299 at $69.95; and collector albums at $19.95.

 

Inkworks has also announced that it will produce Family Guy Trading Cards beginning next summer.  The show is back on TV and doing very well on DVD, so there should be strong demand for this series.
