This set boasts the most costume cards Rittenhouse Archives has ever done in a set and these aren't
your standard costume card either.  We have included three levels of costume cards; single costume
cards, double costume cards and autographed costume cards!  The dual costume cards contain either two pieces of
material from a single costume (i.e.: Pants and shirt) or material from two different costumes from the same episode 
(i.e.: Xena Heavenly costume and Gabrielle's Archangel costume from "Fallen Angel").  Autographed costume cards are a
Rittenhouse Archives first and will be signed by Claire Stansfield as Alti, Megan Desmond as Discord and Hudson Leick as 
Callisto!

the globe.  These cards can be found one in every four packs.  Next is the <B>Amazon Warrior</B> set found one 
in every ten packs that spotlights some of the great Amazon Warriors including Cyane, Ephiny, Melosa, Varia, Velasca and more.

well, we have included a 9-card <B>Kevin Smith Tribute</B> set that covers his career on these two great shows.
