2012 Rittenhouse NCIS is one of the company’s premium pack products. Instead of going for a full on release with a comprehensive base set, things are shrunken down significantly. The result is a configuration that crams a typical box worth of content into one pack (and a box would be like a case). Here that means an autograph, two memorabilia cards, one additional inserts and three base cards.
2012 Rittenhouse NCIS Checklist Details
The 36-card base set squeezes a lot into a small number of cards, especially when you consider that it covers parts of the first four seasons of the long-running series. Each is double-sided with a shot from an episode, its title and a very brief synopsis. If you’re looking for a deep dive into the show, this probably isn’t it. Rather, think of it more like a TV Guide listing.
Despite its small size, completing it is tough. Packs weren’t only expensive, they were also quite limited.
The autographs checklist has 18 total signers. While lead Mark Harmon isn’t among them, there are still several regulars including Pauley Perrette, Rocky Carroll, Brian Dietzen and Lauren Holly, who is also known for her movie roles including Dumb and Dumber.
Comedy icon Bob Newhart has his first certified autographed trading card in 2012 Rittenhouse NCIS. He signed again a few years later in 2016 Cryptozoic Big Bang Theory Seasons 6 and 7. There’s also former Charlie’s Angels star Cheryl Ladd on the checklist.
The two-per-pack Relics have costume pieces from the show. A total of 21 different are available in packs, each numbered to 500. One other card was exclusive to the Rittenhouse Rewards program and numbered to just 150. To get one of these collectors would have to save and send in points found on Rittenhouse wrappers.
A pair of autographed costume cards were only available as incentives, Carroll for ordering two boxes and Perrette for four.
The only other inserts available in packs are nine Stars of NCIS cards. Each is numbered to 600 and highlights a different actor from the show.
While Rittenhouse planned to do more NCIS cards, a follow-up set never materialized.
