The big change to 2002 Inkworks Angel Season 3 trading cards versus the previous two sets is the addition of costume cards. However, a less attractive autograph list keeps this one from reaching the same heights.
Most of the 22 third season episodes have three cards to sum them up. Other subsets in the 90-card base set include characters from both Angel Invesitgations and Wolfram & Hart, relationships, and villains.
Autographs are included as a box hit for the first time. Numbering for nine cards continues on from the Season 1 and Season 2 sets. Leading the checklist is Amy Acker, who has had memorable roles in several Joss Whedon projects. Other than that, there isn’t much else that’s too notable. Daniel Dae Kim went on to have a  major role in LOST but he eventually signed for that franchise.
Pieceworks costume cards are the first for the show. Inserted 1:54 packs, they’re not in every box but they’re not scarce either. Costumes worn by Angel and Cordelia are embedded in the cards.
The remainder of the inserts are standard Inkworks fare. There’s Prophesies Unfold, a nine-card foil puzzle, and the six-card Triangulation.
