2016 Cryptozoic Walking Dead Season 4 Part 1 represents the first half of the trading card adaptation for the show’s fourth year. It also marked the beginning of the end of the card maker’s hugely successful run with The Walking Dead license. For the most part, the overall formula follows previous sets, highlighted by both an autograph and memorabilia card per box.
2016 Cryptozoic Walking Dead Season 4 Part 1 Checklist Details
The 72-card base set is all about episodes, highlighting key moments and plot points. Images offer up plenty of character shots. That said, there’s plenty of gore, something the show was certainly known for.
After Season 3’s metal cards, parallels take a more traditional approach here. Black Foil Stamp (1:5 packs), Silver Foil Stamp (#/99) and Gold Foil Stamp (#/25) all make a change to the show’s title on the card front. One-of-one base cards are also available.
2016 Cryptozoic Walking Dead Season 4 Part 1 Autographs
The Autographs checklist may have 26 total cards. That said, there are only 12 signers. Each has vertical and horizontal versions for two different cards. The one exception is Co-Executive Producer Greg Nicotero has four different cards. Key signers include Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride.
There’s another layer to the Autographs as well, parallels. Similar to the base set, these include Black Foil (125 copies), Silver Foil (75 copies) and Gold Foil (25 copies). For horizontal autographs, it looks as though cards only have parallels, not the base version that has a white show title.
Memorabilia Cards
The Wardrobe cards of previous years give way to a broader Memorabilia cards title. Like the past, there are plenty of costume swatches. What’s different this time is that prop cards are mixed in within the same group of cards. Props aren’t new, either. However, when they had been used, they were part of separate insert sets with different numbering. The Memorabilia cards checklist has 35 total cards including one Ammo Box prop that’s exclusive to packs sold at Hot Topic.
Five Dual Memorabilia cards are also available. That said, they’re extremely tough landing 1:1,155 packs.
Additional Inserts
2016 Cryptozoic Walking Dead Season 4 Part 1 packs have four additional insert sets.
Character Bios and a Terminus puzzle are the easiest. Each has nine cards with easy 1:3 odds. Both also come with Silver (#/99) and Gold (#/25) parallels. Character Bios have additional Printing Plates while Terminus cards have Cryptomium versions.
Four Poster cards (1:6 packs) showcase characters with dynamic photography. This is another simple set to complete. This is another spot on the checklist to find Silver (#/99) and Gold (#/25) parallels.
Sketch Cards with original art are back for another Walking Dead set. This is one of the hardest sets to find them with 1:1,006 pack odds.
Binders come with an exclusive Metal card not available in packs.
This was the last season that Cryptozoic made Walking Dead trading cards. After the release of the Part 2 set a short time later, the license shifted to Topps.
