2002 Inkworks Scorpion King trading cards are a prequel follow-up to The Mummy Returns. While the film was still a hit, when it transfers over to cards, there isn’t the same depth in its star power. But there’s still The Rock.
The 72-card base set takes a straightforward approach. It starts with a handful of character profiles before delving into a recap of the story.
Autographs are included on the checklist, but they’re not guaranteed in every box. At 1:51 packs, the majority should have one but not all. Only five signers are included in the set with The Rock, Dwayne Johnson, being the only major one. He also happens to be an extremely tough short print landing 1:1,440 packs.
Pieceworks costume cards are a box hit. There are four different including swatches from costumes worn by Johnson and Kelly Hu.
The Future King is a nine-card foil puzzle that’s a standard insert in most Inkworks products. There’s also six die-cut Visions of the Sorceress cards available in packs.
