Rittenhouse Archives is a company that publishes non-sports trading cards such as Star Trek, Game of Thrones & Doctor Who. They have published multiple Twilight Zone edition trading cards but today we will talk about the 2009 50th Anniversary Edition.

A few years ago I purchased an unopened hobby box with 24 packs, 5 cards per pack. The particular box that I purchased was 2570 of 4000 made. The box also promised 4 autographs inside.

After opening the box and packs and then assorting the cards I found that I was able to assemble the complete 79 card base-set. I then made a customized Twilight Zone 50th Anniversary three-ring binder to store the cards. I also received some of the insert cards but not enough to complete the sets.

As promised, I received 4 autographed cards. The cards I received were:
Barbara Perry as Blonde Woman in “The Chaser”
David Macklin as Bud Powell in “Ring-A-Ding Girl”
Linden Chiles as Hall in “Four O’Clock”
Cliff Osmond as Manolo in “The Gift”

Overall this is a neat little set. Each card has a different episode on the front and back which includes the episode title, original airdate and a brief episode description. In my opinion, this is a must for any Twilight Zone fans.

Rittenhouse also has an upcoming release of a new edition of Twilight Zone cards in 2023 with Twilight Zone Archives Expansion
