The Walking Dead Trading Cards

Well, Walking Dead fans, it was going to only be a matter of time before we would get The Walking Dead trading cards and Cryptozoic Entertainment will be the company we have to thank.

Humans are the outsiders in the land of the walkers. In the AMC television series based on the Robert Kirkman comic book series, Rick Grimes leads a band of humans trying to survive in Atlanta, Georgia. Everything is scarce in this world except for zombies; there are plenty of zombies. The series is as much about the nature of humanity as it is about survival. Each card takes a piece of the human experience—brotherhood, teamwork, mourning— to give the collector individual snapshots of this harrowing tale. The first release in the trading card series covers the events of the first season and features a 72 card base set along with feature autographs and memorabilia from the popular show.

Along with the 72 card base set, we will have to be look forward to trying to find the amazing autograph cards, costume cards, sketch cards and the extremely rare full intact police badge costume cards. 

The Autograph Set will include: 





Badge Cards


Super Rare: Rick's Full Intact Badge

Super Rare: Shane's Full Intact Badge
There are 20 special redemption cards randomly inserted into packs of The Walking Dead Trading Cards. 18 of these cards will give their lucky recipients a piece of Rick's shoulder badge patch. The other two will give something even cooler: one will reward an oversized card with Rick's full, intact badge, and the other an oversized card with Shane's intact t-shirt badge.
