Product Page

Release Date: Q2, 2014
Breaking Bad follows protagonist Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a chemistry teacher who lives in New Mexico with his wife (Anna Gunn) and teenage son (RJ Mitte) who has cerebral palsy. White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a prognosis of two years left to live. With a new sense of fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and a desire to secure his family's financial security, White chooses to enter a dangerous world of drugs and crime and ascends to power in this world. Now fans can collect their favorite moments from the show, cast-signed Autograph cards, and production-used Wardrobe cards!

Packs: 5 Cards per pack, 24 packs per box

MSRP: $3.50 per pack

Base Set: 108 card base set featuring episodic images from seasons one through five.

Chase Sets: Los Pollos Hermanos (2:24 packs), Fan Art cards (1:24 packs), and Blue Sky cards featuring character images (1:24 packs)

Inserts: Autograph cards (1:24 packs), and Wardrobe cards (1:24 packs)

Autograph Signers (Signers in Bold have returned cards, Signers with an * are under contract): Giancarlo Esposito as Gustavo "Gus" Fring*, RJ Mitte as Walter White, Jr.*, Betsy Brandt as Marie Schrader*, Christopher Cousins as Ted Beneke*, Matt Jones as Badger*, Mark Margolis as Tio Salamanca*, Michael Shamus Wiles as ASAC George Merkert*, Tess Harper as Mrs. Pinkman*, Michael Bofshever as Mr. Pinkman*, Jere Burns as “Group Leader”*, Nigel Gibbs as Detective Tim Roberts*, Larry Hankin as Old Joe*, Tina Parker as Francesca*, Jim Beaver as Lawson*, Michael Bowen as Uncle Jack*, Luis Moncada as Marco Salamanca*

My only complaint is neither of the shows two main characters are in this set as signers. Hell, not even Hank or Gomez.

What in the hell no hank, walter, or Jesse autos what a failure of a product already

Incarnadine · 01-29-2014, 01:07 AM

Damn, no Krysten Ritter either. I have her Veronica Mars auto, but it's a pretty bad picture they used for it.

Really, from the above list only the Giancarlo interests me.

Bryanjs14 · 01-29-2014, 07:48 AM

The list is not even close to being complete. It's been said on every thread this set has been posted about on. This release is still months away.

CAS239 · 01-29-2014, 08:36 AM

This is the same list that's been up since October. Crypto hasn't updated it at all..so like Bryan said, it's not complete.

I have faith that Crypto will be getting Walt, Jesse, Saul, Mike, Hank, Gomez, and many of the other big names. Still a few months away so plenty of time

NonSportsCardForum · 01-29-2014, 08:44 AM

With Saul getting a spin-off and Mike being a part of it, lets hope they arent too busy, assuming its already in the works.

Aubrey · 01-29-2014, 09:34 AM

Iam sure that Bryan will sign, he knows that the procuct Is worthless
without him and Aaron.

Really. Here we go again.

I'll reserve my comments (and pre-ordering) to when the final list is announced.

what a terrible auto line-up.

I have no faith that Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul or Anna Gunn will sign.

they shouldn't release this set if they are going to half-ass it.

I was so excited for this release, cause I thought Cryptozoic would do it right. It seems they're are not going to get any of the main cast. Why even create this set if you're going to fill it with these D-list signers.

I wish the photo showed him in the wheelchair with the bell. He was one of my favorite characters.

Brobocop · 03-21-2014, 10:01 AM

I guess I will have to wonder how much a Bryan Cranston autograph would go for? $200? $300? Higher? I just got into the show, and I would go crazy for this product if they can get just a few of the bigger names to sign (Walk, Jesse, Saul, or Hank). Maybe even a piece of the pink teddy bear as a relic card? R.V. film-used tire? The options are endless. I think there is still hope for this product, Cryptozoic always seems to have a few surprises up their sleeves. The additions they just made to The Hobbit have surprised me, Harrison Ford was a shocker, so I know they are doing everything they can to land these characters for this set.

Bryanjs14 · 03-21-2014, 10:28 AM

this release is still months away, and look what they just did with the long in limbo hobbit set. they got pretty much every cast member to sign.

this set won't be made without the main cast. just chill out and wait till everything is final before freaking out and writing this release off.

ChrisM · 03-21-2014, 01:11 PM

I plan to pick up mine on eBay... not worth going the box / case route.

jrosales · 03-21-2014, 01:20 PM

I hope that's not the final card of Tio that they end up using. He NEEDS to be shown in a wheelchair and with tubes up his nose. I don't remember him looking the above pic at any point in the show.

That is the card Cryptozoic is using. These are the cards he returned signed. Anything posted on Cryptozoic Trading Card page is the final card that will be packed out.

He appeared that way in flashbacks.

deeceman · 03-21-2014, 02:15 PM

A redemption for Tio's bell would be really cool. But I agree- if they can't get Cranston and Paul- don't even bother. While having Hank and Skyler would be cool I don't find it an absolute necessity but without Walter and Jesse this set is nothing.

In case anyone didn't read the article in the new NSU:

"As of this writing CZE was still in hot pursuit of the series three main characters..." referring to Walter, Jesse and Hank.

So it's not like they're not trying.

I'd still buy into this without those signers. Now buying into it at exaggerated prices without the potential to hit one of the big names...

FWIW, the bell was auctioned off a few months ago with a bunch of other props.

Either way, a poor judgment call on Cryptozoic's part.

gamboooler · 03-21-2014, 05:30 PM

I generally like everything Cryptozoic puts out, but those cards look pretty weak IMO. Rare miss on their end.
