2023 zerocool Stranger Things 4 Checklist, Trading Cards Info

Ad

2023 zerocool Stranger Things 4 takes the show’s trading card line in a somewhat different direction. After a couple of smaller releases, this is the first mainstream set for the series done under the zerocool name. With it comes some different configurations and a more expansive checklist that covers inserts, parallels and several styles of autographs.

Signatures aren’t a guarantee in every box, but the set definitely takes a quality over quantity approach in this regard.

2023 zerocool Stranger Things 4 Checklist Details

The base set uses 100 cards to cover the show’s fourth season, which originally aired in May, 2022. The checklist takes a fairly standard approach. The first 30 cards delve into the characters of the season. Besides familiar faces like Eleven, Mike and Dustin, there are new standouts like Eddie Munson and Lord Vecna. The balance of the set acts as a recap to the season’s story and events.

From the earliest Topps sets, Stranger Things trading cards have drawn inspiration from the 1980s, the decade that the show is set in. Sometimes, like 2023 Fright Flicks Stranger Things, there’s a direct connection to trading cards from the era. For 2023 zerocool Stranger Things 4, the ’80s are more of a design motif. For the base set, the rainbow stripes are emblematic of a couple of things. From iron-on t-shirt designs to VHS tapes, it was a common sight for a time.

The base set has a handful of parallels including 1986 Pink (#’ed/86), Eleven Blue (#’ed/11) and one-of-one Vecna Red. There are also a few exclusives. Surfer Boy Pizza Yellow and Green versions are only found in specific blaster boxes. There’s also zerocool Black that are exclusive to breaker boxes. Numbered to 0, these have just one copy each.

Autographs and Memorabilia Cards

The 2023 zerocool Stranger Things 4 checklist is among the deepest the show has seen, both in themes and signers. Not only does it have several big names, but it adds some of the major new ones. There are also the first certified Stranger Things autograph cards from a handful of longtime cast members who never signed for the previous Topps sets.

This starts with Solo Autographs, which take a similar striped approach to their layout as the base set. More than a dozen signers are present including Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven), Finn Wolfhard (Mike) and David Harbour (Hopper). Natalia Dyer (Nancy), Joseph Quinn (Eddie) and Jamie Campbell Bower (Vecna) are among the signers who didn’t appear in Topps sets.

A couple of other themes offer different designs. Running Up the Hill Autographs draw their inspiration from a cassette tape while Most Metal Signatures go dark with a heavy metal look.

All three autograph sets have multiple versions including 1986 Pink (#’ed/86), Eleven Blue (#’ed/11) and zerocool Black (#’ed/0).

The checklist also has Dual Autographs and a couple of Most Metal Signatures Duals. These have different combinations of stars and a similar parallel lineup.

Relics from the Upside Down include memorabilia used during the show’s production. Although there are only six total cards, three different designs are used. Print runs for individual cards range from a high of 1,000 copies down to a low of 90.

More Inserts

The 2023 zerocool Stranger Things 4 checklist has four additional insert sets.

Hail Lord Vecna spotlights the season’s big bad with promo art and foil highlights. Red parallels are numbered to 99 while breaker-exclusive Black get the serial number 0 treatment.

Although he’s not featured on the cards themselves, the villain’s handiwork is the subject of Vecna’s Curse Lenticulars. These have two images that flick between a character and what happens to them when they encounter Vecna.

Quotes has some of the most memorable lines from the fourth season while Upside Down travels to the dark world. Upside Down has additional Red (#’ed/99) and Purple (#’ed/0) versions.
