Farscape helped establish Rittenhouse as one of the leading entertainment trading card manufacturers as the industry shook itself out after the boom and bust of the 1990s. 2004 Rittenhouse Farscape: Through the Wormhole caps things off for the franchise, at least from a trading card perspective. The card maker went all-in with the autographs in particular, delivering nearly 40 signed cards in the product. Each box has two autographs.
At its heart, 2004 Rittenhouse Farscape: Through the Wormhole is a set dedicated to the show’s eclectic mix of characters and creatures. The 72-card base set explores the background and lives of John Crichton, Aeryn Sun, D’Argo, Chiana, Zhaan, Rygel, Pilot, Scorpius, Jool, Sikozu, Stark and others.
All pack-inserted autographs are limited to 500 copies or less. Leading the extensive checklist is Claudia Black who played Aeryn Sun in the show. The set also has a pair of dual autographs randomly inserted in packs. One more was distributed as a multi-case incentive.
In addition to the autographs, 2004 Rittenhouse Farscape: Through the Wormhole has four basic chase sets. ArtiFEX highlights artwork from from hobby-favorite artist Sean Pence. The Don Juan side of the show’s lead character is tackled in Crighton’s Women. Quotable Season 1 cards reflect back on some of the first season’s most memorable lines. Finally, there’s Peacekeeper Wars that looks at the mini-series that closed out the show’s run.
In July, 2005, Rittenhouse released a Farscape: Through the Wormhole Expansion set. Limited to 333 copies, it came with seven more ArtiFEX cards and a Francesca Buller autograph card.
