2004 Rittenhouse Fantasy Worlds of Irwin Allen is a trading card tribute to one of the great creators of genre television and film in the 1960s. Focusing on his TV work, the set highlights four shows: Land of the Giants, Lost in Space, The Time Tunnel and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
In addition to the variety of shows, there are several card types on the checklist as well. This includes a pair of autographs in each box.
2004 Rittenhouse Fantasy Worlds of Irwin Allen Checklist Details
The base set offers broad strokes for all four shows across 100 cards. While not totally even, each gets between 20 and 25 cards. This leaves a little space for a title card at the start and three checklists at the end. While Lost in Space has been the subject of several sets over the years, there isn’t a lot out there for the other four shows.
The 16-card autographs checklist isn’t necessarily filled with big names if you look at Hollywood as a whole. However, as far as key actors from each of the shows, there’s plenty of that. Bill Mumy, Veronica Cartwright, June Lockhart, Marta Kristen and Lee Meriwether are among the notable names. Bob May is not available in packs. Rather the Robot B9 performer was given out as a case topper.
Four additional insert sets are available in 2004 Rittenhouse Fantasy Worlds of Irwin Allen packs.
At 1:120 packs, Gallery are the toughest. These are highlighted by manufactured film cels showcasing lead stars.
Sci-Fi Legends is the easiest insert set to pull with 1:6 pack odds. However, it’s also the largest with 21 cards. One additional card (#R22) was given as a multi-case incentive and is serial numbered to 250 copies.
Other inserts include The Openings (12 cards, 1:8 packs) and Behind-the-Scenes (nine cards, 1:40 packs).
A From the Archives memorabilia card with a swatch from a Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea costume worn by David Hedison is exclusive to the set’s binder.
