2013 Rittenhouse Women of Marvel Series 2 is another (virtually) all-ladies release, continuing on from the original set put out five years earlier. Once again, there’s plenty of high-end art. That includes full-color sketch cards, which are one per hobby box.
2013 Rittenhouse Women of Marvel Series 2 Checklist Details
The base set has 90 cards and is entirely character-driven. Each puts the spotlight on a different hero or villain from across the Marvel Universe. Fronts have a piece of modern artwork on the front with angled borders covering much of the left and bottom sides. That’s where you’ll find the character’s name along with the Women of Marvel logo. Backs have some basic information like their first appearance, real name and a small write-up.
All base cards have three levels of parallels. Sapphire are the most common, falling 1:3 packs. Emerald are approximately one per box and come serial numbered to 100 copies. Diamond parallels are case hits with just ten copies each.
