2008 Strictly Ink Hammer Horror trading cards chart some of the major films of the British production group and the iconic actors that were part of their success. While there have been other sets based on the company’s work, this is one of the few to include autographs.
The base set has 72 cards and is broken down into several subsets. The Curse of Frankenstein and Dracula (1958) each get a handful of cards as do actors Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. Other themes include early Hammer science fiction, monsters and the ladies who appeared.
Autographs are inserted 1:27 packs. So while that should mean one per box, there’s the small chance of landing a second one. The most valuable of the autographs is David Prowse, best known for playing Darth Vader. Not only does he have the star power, but his autograph is a short print as well. Other signers include Caroline Munro and Madeline Smith.
A total of 20 artists contributed sketch cards to 2008 Strictly Ink Hammer Horror. These are inserted just under 1:4 boxes.
The only other inserts found in packs are nine Foil Movie Posters cards.
2008 Strictly Ink Hammer Horror has a print run of 250 cases. Each has ten boxes.
