TheJurassic Parkfranchise is receiving a new trading card set, which will debut at San Diego Comic Con before its wide release. WhileJurassic World Rebirthis currently taking a bite out of the box office, the originalJurassic Parktrilogy still defines the franchisefor many long-time fans. Spielberg’s original film left the most indelible mark on popular culture, but all three have their merits, particularly in pure blockbuster craftsmanship.
Screen Rantcan exclusively revealCZXJurassic Park, a premium trading card set from Universal and Cryptozoic Entertainment, along with the SDCC-exclusive CZXJurassic Park: Preview Box. The preview box contains nine exclusive Base Cards along with either an Autograph Card signed by Wayne Knight or one of four Production Concept Cards featuringThe Lost Worldconcept images. All 500 of these boxes will be available for $99.99 at SDCC Booth #115, distributed over the course of July 24-27.
Jurassic Park’s SDCC Cards Come In Several Rarities
One Copy To Rule Them All
The exclusive Base Cards focus oniconic moments in theJurassic Parktrilogy, ranging from the towering park gates in the original film to the San Diego mayhem inThe Lost World. Meanwhile,the autographed Wayne Knight cards feature an image of the actor as Dennis Nedry, the park employee whose get-rich-quick scheming ultimately leads to his equally comedic and horrifying downfall. As for the Production Concept cards, four dinosaurs make their appearance — a baby Stegosaurus, Velociraptor, T. rex, and Triceratops.
The Autograph Card or Production Concept Card included in each box will come inside a rigid case.
All the CZXJurassic Parkcards revealed so far come in multiple rarities, and getting the rarest requires a significant dose of luck. Red Deco Foil versions of each Base Card and Production Concept Card are numbered out of 499, while a single black Deco Foil variant of each is numbered out of one. The autograph cards feature three levels of rarity. Black ink signatures with gold numbering are numbered out of 99, green ink signatures with green numbering out of five, and red ink signatures with black numbering out of one.
CZX Jurassic Park Will Reveal More Later This Year
The SDCC Preview Box Will Do For Now
Beyond the SDCC Preview Box,further information about CZXJurassic Parkisn’t coming until later this year. As Cryptozoic’s premium brand, CZX focuses on collector appeal, so the luxurious style of the Preview Box will likely continue in the main set. If any of the cards revealed so far spark your interest, however, SDCC will be the only direct way to get them.
Previous releases, like CZX Middle-earth, have featured a wide array of autographs, so it’s possible that the main set will involve signatures from more of the cast. For now, however, any speculation about the CZXJurassic Parkcontents to come is simply conjecture.
Jurassic Park
The Jurassic Park franchise is an action-adventure sci-fi series that began with Michael Crichton’s original novel. The series explores the dramatic repercussions of resurrecting dinosaurs through advanced genetic science. Set primarily in a disastrous theme park, Jurassic Park explores the profound ethical dilemmas about tinkering with the DNA of long ago extinct creatures and the manipulation of the natural world through science.
