A stylish show deserves a stylish card set. And that’s exactly the case with 2002 Artbox Samurai Jack trading cards. Although not overly complicated or pricey, it’s a beautiful interpretation of the critically acclaimed cartoon.
The base set has 72 cards. They’re printed on canvas card stock, which lends nicely to the painted look of the illustrations and design.
Insert-wise, 2002 Artbox Samurai Jack doesn’t have much. Creator, Genndy Tartakovsky, who also oversaw the first Star Wars: The Clone Wars cartoons, has an autograph that was randomly inserted in some cases and boxes. Six Die-Cut cards further showcase the titular character and his nemesis, Aku. The main inserts are rounded out by six Japanese Chrome cards.
Other 2002 Artbox Samurai Jack cards include a special album card and a couple of promos.
