The Complete LOST IN SPACE Trading Cards To Feature Over 500 New Photos, Loads of Autographs
Rittenhouse Archives and www.scifihobby.com are pleased
to announce the upcoming release of The Complete LOST IN SPACE Trading Cards, available July 1005. This all-new
series will cover all 83 episodes of this classic science fiction show from the 1960s, and features more than 500
all-new photos that have never before been printed on trading cards. Each box is guaranteed to contain 2
hand-signed autograph cards from all of the show’s remaining stars and many of its key guest stars.
"Anyone who is a fan of the original Lost In Space will be overwhelmed by how much this collection has to
offer," said Rittenhouse President Steve Charendoff. "It blows away every other Lost In Space card set
– check that, every other Lost In Space product, period – ever made before this. There’s simply never been a cards
set, a book or anything else that has covered this show in such great detail, with more than 500 new photos from
across all 83 original episodes."
In addition to autograph cards from show stars Billy Mumy (Will Robinson), Marta Kristen (Judy Robinson), Angela
Cartwright (Penny Robinson), Mark Goddard (Major Don West) and June Lockhart (Maureen Robinson), this set also

Leonard Stone (Farnum), Don Matheson (IDAK), Sheila Allen (Brynhilde, and Irwin Allen’s wife), Daniel J. Travanti
(Space Hippie), Francine York (Niolani) and more!
As a bonus to dealers and distributors, Rittenhouse has created a cut signature card of the legendary Jonathan
Harris (Dr. Zachary Smith) that will be given away free with every 6 cases purchased! Only 50 of these limited
edition cards have been produced, making them among the most limited entertainment-themed cards of all-time.
The base set of The Complete LOST IN SPACE Trading Cards will consist of 90 cards, including 1 card for each of
the show’s 83 episodes. Every episode card will include 5 different photos and a complete plot synopsis.
