NCIS Rittenhouse Promo Cards

OK this is another very last minute day of the month type posts. I scanned the images of the cards in this post last night 30 March 2021 and  then did the drafting, writing of this post later today Wednesday 31 March 2021. An odd note: when I first started scanning the 4 promo cards (Oops Spoiler of what the post is about. LOL) for some reason my scanner was set for "automatic" scanning and I saw the rarely seen (by me) automatic scanning screens. I first was alerted when I saw the scanner's beginning prep screen was different than normal and was saying it was scanning image 1/3. UGH. It also had a note saying the scanner was in automatic mode and if you wanted to operate in manual mode hit "cancel". I probably should have kept the first scan image to show but I didn't. The scanner made 3 scans of the 4 cards laid out on my scanner's glass bed 2x2. The first image was of 2 cards one from the top row and one the bottom row since the cards were not properly squared on the bed they were at an odd angle and the scan only had partial images of the two skewed  cards. The other two scans were just of one card each and were well cropped and sized images of those cards that I could have used if I wished. Anyway I then started the scanner up again and switched to manual mode which I am used to and where I can make adjustments to how the scanner is scanning the images.

As you may have guessed from the title of this post and the top image this post is about the promo cards from the television show NCIS. The cards are from 2012 made by Rittenhouse. I do not have the set nor any of the star's autograph cards. I do have the Gibbs and Abby box topper cards that I blogged about ages upon ages ago. I don't have any other inserts other than these promo cards that I will now show. The second promo card P2 was from the trade magazine Non-Sport Update which I got from my copy of the magazine and was at one time the only promo card I had from this series. I then hit Ebay to acquire the other 3 cards and a dupe. Since I have the dupe I either got a full 4 card promo set or I got a couple of lots of one or two cards to get all 4. On a side note I do have the JAG set, a promo card from that set, and some auto cards from that set. I plan on someday blogging about those, but trying to decide how much of the set to scan and show.

Anyway lets see these cards: I have also noted how the promos were distributed according to Cardboard Connection.

COTW: Benchwarmer Dreamgirls Jessa Hinton

Another end of the month, another Non-Sport Update Magazine Promo card featuring some random babe. The featured card is 2015 Dreamgirls Benchwarmer a promo card numbered 15 of 18. It seems to indicate that instead of just one lone promo card there were quite a few for this, so instead of collectors hunting down a single promo card they need to hunt for several for this set. I'm just guessing and speaking out of my you know where on this one. So here is the sexy woman on the pretty little trading card that was a bonus for subscribing to a silly magazine.

COTW: James Bond Classics Non-Sport Update Promo

Another month another quickie Card of the Whenever post. This one is from a 2016 Non-Sport Update I'm not sure exactly which one I don't think I had recorded it in my mail day posts specifically. Too many times I've just mentioned there were some bonus cards without naming specific cards. Then again this one was in a stack of cards that I had long ago freed from it's NSU plain envelope prison. This card a from Rittenhouse. NO not the evil secret organization from the now cancelled TV show Timeless the Non-Sport Trading Card maker.

The card is from the 2016 James Bond 007 Classics 72 card set. Actually it is a promo card for the set from Non-Sport Update Magazine numbered P2. It features Denise Richards as Dr. Christmas Jones from The World is Not Enough.

NCIS Promo NSU

I have so many things that I want to blog about but have not gotten around to scanning or I had gotten so long ago I don't remember where I got them or how much I paid for them. So sometimes I won't bother with all that. This item is something I got recently enough that I could still find it in my card forum blog entries without any problems. Now the details for this are as follows: From Ebay I got a fresh unopened copy of Non-Sport Update Magazine Vol 23 No 3 with NCIS Cast on cover for $5.99 + $2.75 shipping it was sealed with the following promo cards:
2012 Rittenhouse NCIS P2
2012 Cryptozoic The Walking Dead P2
2012 Cryptozoic Fringe P1
2012 Rittenhouse Game of Thrones Season One P2

Obviously from the cover I got this issue for the NCIS info since I'm a huge fan of that show. For those not familiar with the magazine it is a bi-monthly (meaning it comes out every other month so only 6 issues a year). It gives the latest info on upcoming Non-Sport Card releases and also includes a semi current price guide. Each issue also has a handful of promo cards, usually four.

Of the other three promo cards, two of them I am going to either trade or sell because I'm not interested in those card sets or the series they are based on. Those two are The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones Season One (I also have the NSU P2 promo card of Game of Thrones Season Two). I am undecided on the Fringe card I think I'll keep that one. I'm not sure which hoarding stack that card is in right now anyway.

As for NCIS well there are three other promo cards for that series  as well as the base cards which cover the first 72 episodes of the series or the first three seasons. I also plan on getting the Autograph cards from the series as well. Those who are familiar with the show know that it is a spin-off of the series J.A.G. (Judge Advocate General) I have the base card set for that one, but need to search for the Autos and any fun inserts. I need to research that set again and blog about the base set sometime. Just one of many many things to blog about eventually.

The NCIS series is made by Rittenhouse, which is the top player in Non-Sport cards now-a-days.
