For this quick and dirty post I am showing some promo cards that I got a few years back from Ebay in I forget how many different lots. I originally started this post thinking I only had one of the cards silly me. I wasn't sure if I had posted about these cards before. Looks like I haven't. I don't think I have the sets they are promoting. That could be part of why I held off on posting about them. They are for a Sci-Fi television show that lasted 4 seasons (I have seasons 1 and 2 on DVD need to find and get the other two). Fortunately when the series was cancelled the producers had time to write a series conclusion. Some series don't get that luxury as they get cancelled between production times.
The series is Continuum a Sci-Fi series about a police officer from the future that finds herself in the past (our present) hunting down some terrorists from her time. The 2014 Rittenhouse Continuum Seasons One and Two card base set has 69 cards. There are a few insert sets including cast autograph cards. The 2015 Rittenhouse Continuum Season 3 set has 60 cards with the card numbers continuing from the previous set. For Season 3 I need promo cards P2 and P3. I'm not sure if they got around to do a Season 4 set. They might have but it isn't on Trading Card DataBase.
So here are the 4 promo cards I have out of six promo cards for Continuum:
NOTE: I somewhat fidgeted the timing of this post. I wrote up most of the text at around 9:30 PM on Sunday 28 February. Scanned the cards Between 11:30 PM to about 12:10 AM on Monday 01 March. I also worked on my Curly W Cards blog February post and scans along with this post.
Never seen the show, but it sounds interesting. If I come across it, I'll try to watch an episode. Who knows... maybe I'll binge watch it.
ReplyDeleteI miss the days where one can easily get non-sport trading cards in stores. Thanks for showing off the promos!
ReplyDeleteIs it just me, or does the synopsis sound a bit Timecop-ish?
ReplyDeleteIt sort of is, but the main character didn't intentionally go back in time. If I recall correctly and with some more detail, The terrorists were scheduled for execution and at the moment of execution, or just before there was an explosion that sent the criminals and the cop back into the past. I left that part out of my synopsis for the sake of brevity. It has also been a few years since I've watched the show especially the first one that explains everything.
