The 2009 Rittenhouse X-Men Origins: Wolverine Autographs checklist was strong the moment Hugh Jackman was announced. And while there are several names that aren’t of the household variety, this set’s appeal has grown over time.

A total of 15 autographs are in 2009 Rittenhouse X-Men Origins: Wolverine packs, landing at a rate of 1:12 packs (two per box). Jackman is the immediate standout. This is his third set signing for the franchise following Topps’ release for the original film and X-Men 3. His pack-inserted card is the toughest one in the product, limited to between 200 and 300 packs.

The other big name among the Wolverine autographs is Ryan Reynolds who played Deadpool in the film. And wouldn’t you know, several years later Reynolds would reprise the role for a massive blockbuster that shot Reynolds to the upper echelon of Hollywood’s A-list. Needless to say, interest in the card — and its value — have risen significantly. It’s to the point now where it outpaces Jackman, who has autographs in a handful of other sets.

Showing even more depth are autographs from Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan, Scream) and Taylor Kitsch (Friday Night Lights, John Carter).

will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas is also part of the product, although not in packs. His autograph is a two-case incentive.

Following the release of 2009 Rittenhouse X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a Hugh Jackman autograph variant hit the market. Sold separately and direct from Rittenhouse, it features Wolverine in a jacket. The variant autograph has 99 copies.
