Ultimate Smallville Autographs Gallery and Guide

Ad

When it comes to trading cards, there are plenty of Smallville autographs. Over the course of seven distinct sets, virtually every key actor (with a couple of major exceptions) signed at least once. On top of that, there are a handful of signatures from notable guest, including some from other corners of the Superman realm.

Smallville Autographs: The Inkworks Years

Inkworks picked up the Smallville license early in the show’s run. Between 2002 and 2008, they created sets for each of the first six seasons. As far as Smallville autographs go, these products feature more than 50 different signatures.

A couple of the biggest are found in Season 1 — Allison Mack (Chloe) and John Schneider (Jonathan Kent). Schneider is also known for playing Bo Duke on The Dukes of Hazzard.

Over the next few years, other Smallville autographs from Inkworks included Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor), Erica Durance (Lois Lane), Annette O’Toole (Martha Kent), Sam Jones III (Pete Ross), and James Marsters (Brainiac).

Among the notable guests who signed are Tom Wopat, Schneider’s partner in crime on The Dukes, Adrian Palicki from Friday Night Lights and Agents of SHIELD, and one-time Home Improvement heartthrob, Jonathan Taylor Thomas.

Inkworks also got Margot Kidder to sign. While she appeared on Smallville for just a couple of episode, she is considered royalty for the Superman franchise having starred as Lois Lane in the Christopher Reeve films.

Because Inkworks went out of business in 2009, it meant that they didn’t do a complete run for the series.

It would take a few years, but Cryptozoic would come along with one final set.

Cryptozoic Completes the Smallville Autographs Run

Cryptozoic landed the Smallville license in a somewhat limited capacity. Heading into their Seasons 7-10 set, the were up front that this was it for the show as far as trading cards went.

Autographs were a big part of it.

Cryptozoic added 14 more autograph cards. While many of these are repeats from earlier Inkworks sets, there are a couple of new names. Laura Vandervoort has proven to be an incredibly tough-to-find and valuable addition to the Smallville autographs line.

Other new names include Terrence Stamp, Dean Cain and Cassidy Freeman.

Like Kidder, Stamp and Cain are known more for other roles in Superman. Stamp played General Zodd in the Reeve films while Cain was the titular star in TV’s Lois and Clark: The Adventures of Superman.

Many of the Cryptozoic Smallville autographs follow a similar path as the Vandervoort in that they’re difficult to find.

Where’s Clark?

As a whole, the Smallville autographs line is a strong one. That said, the show’s two biggest stars are nowhere to be found. Both leads Tom Welling (Clark Kent) and Kristin Kreuk (Lana Lang) never signed for either company.

Even looking to other trading card sets, neither has signed elsewhere.
