As the name suggests, 2003 Rittenhouse Complete Highlander is the most comprehensive set of trading cards you’ll find for the television show. A big base set, several inserts and a deep autograph lineup are all included.
Although 126 cards seems like an odd number for a base set, it works out nicely. Every episode gets a card. Seasons also get a broader overview card. Numbered separately, there are also three checklists.
Autographs are inserted three per box. Many of the show’s main stars are included on the checklist including lead Adrian Paul. Jim Byrnes, Stan Kirsch and Elizabeth Gracen are also in the set. Some notable names for projects outside of Highlander include Sandra Bernhard, Traci Lords, Anthony Head and Ron Perlman.
A costume card featuring a shirt worn by Paul in Highlander: Endgame came with the set’s binder.
As far as basic inserts in 2003 Rittenhouse Complete Highlander go, the six-card The Wanderer are the most coveted. Inserted 1:40 packs, these come with a piece of film embedded in them. Other basic inserts include The Warrior (nine cards, 1:20), The Lover (eight cards, 1:8) and The Raven (22 cards, 1:3).
A die-cut MacLeod Family Crest card was given as a case topper. These are numbered to 600.
