1999 Inkworks Sleepy Hollow trading cards is one of those sets that makes you wonder ‘What if?,’ the two biggest of which almost came to pass. But even with a good autograph list instead of one that would rank among the best ever, there’s still plenty to the release considering the era in which it came out.
1999 Inkworks Sleepy Hollow Checklist Details
The 90-card base set runs through the period horror film. Directed by Tim Burton, the cast is headlined by Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci, Christopher Walken and Casper Van Dien. The vast majority of the base cards do exactly what you’d expect — recap the movie and its major points. The balance is a mix of character profiles and production notes from behind the camera.
Sleepy Hollow is one of the early Inkworks sets to include autographs. That said, there are only four signers. Topping the list is legendary composer, Danny Elfman. Van Dien, who is probably best known for Starship Troopers, is also on the list. So is Jeffrey Jones who played Mr. Rooney in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
Originally, two other autographs were supposed to be included, which would have been difference makers. Both Burton and Depp originally agreed to sign. Their names even appear on the redemption cards. However, a commitment to sign cards and actually doing it are totally different things. A few years later, both would eventually sign elsewhere. Burton has autographs in 2001 NECA The Nightmare Before Christmas. Depp was a major get for 2005 Artbox Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Ricci didn’t sign either, but she’d finally get her first autograph cards more than 20 years later in 2020 Leaf Metal Pop Century.
1999 Inkworks Sleepy Hollow does have a few other inserts.
A Die-Cut Parchment card designed to resemble a newspaper has tough odds of 1:108 packs. That said, it’s a single-card set so it’s not that much more scarce than individual cards in the other two insert sets.
Heads Will Roll (nine cards, 1:11 packs) uses striking etched foil to spotlight characters. Round things out are six foil Lobby Posters (1:17 packs).
