2004 Rittenhouse Complete Six Million Dollar Man Seasons 1 and 2 finally gave Steve Austin a modern set of trading cards. Besides delving deep into the first two seasons of the show, the product brings with it several key autographs as well.
The 72-card base set highlights every episode, summarizing the key action over two cards each. A pair of checklists kick things off.
Autographs are the key inserts, landing two per box. Lee Majors is among them, although he’s also one of the toughest. Ranked “Very Limited” by Rittenhouse, that means that between 200 and 300 copies were produced. Other key members of the show’s cast on the checklist include Richard Anderson (Oscar Goldman) and Alan Oppenheimer (Dr. Rudy Wells). William Shatner of Star Trek fame is also in the product, although his autograph isn’t in packs. Rather, it used as a multi-case incentive.
The Movies is a nine-card insert set that looks at the three TV movies that came out before the show’s launch as a full-blown series. Bionics cover some of the pieces that make Steve Austin the Six Million Dollar Man. The OSI Files are die-cut like actual files. They look at some of the secrets behind the show’s lore. Finally, there’s Steve and Jamie, Made for each other, which adds the Bionic Woman to the mix.
2004 Rittenhouse Complete Six Million Dollar Man Seasons 1 and 2 has a print run of 4,000 boxes.
Rittenhouse would later release an expansion autograph set as well as The Complete Bionic Collection that covers both the Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman.
