2007 Rittenhouse Archives : DC Legacy
DC Legacy Trading Cards were released by Rittenhouse Archives, Ltd. on September 26, 2007. The series was limited to 10,000 boxes.
Each box contains 24 packs and there are 4 cards in each pack. Boxes
originally retailed for $84.00. A hand-drawn sketch card from one of 50 different artists is inserted into
each box. The checklist is comprised of 50 silver foil base cards, a gold foil
parallel base set, and three insert sets. On the average, there is one gold foil base parallel in every six
packs. The base cards showcase modern and classic versions of popular DC
characters. The back of each card features a character profile.

García-López. The Golden Age image was penciled by Wayne Boring and inked by
Stan Kaye. The artwork is from the cover of Superman #32 (January–February 1945).

The Golden Age Supergirl on card #30 is not Kara Zor-El. The image is from the cover
of Superman #123 (August 1958). In "The Girl of Steel,"
Jimmy Olsen uses a magic gem to wish a "Super-Girl" into existence. The
magical "Super-Girl" later sacrifices herself to save Superman.
The "First Cover" subset showcases nine classic covers from DC. The odds
of finding a cover art card are approximately 1:12 packs. The cover for Superman
#1 (Summer 1939) appears on card FC1. The frame artwork is by Leo
O’Mealia. The image of Superman is based on the opening panel of Action Comics #10 (March 1939) by
Joe Shuster
and Wayne Boring. A similar panel by Shuster appears in the newspaper strip "Is
Superman Late" from May 1939.
Superman appears on four "DC Gallery" cards inserted
into approximately 1:24 packs. The nine-card subset showcases artwork
painted by Alex Ross. The backs of the "DC Gallery" inserts form a
nine-card puzzle image by Alex Ross. Card AR3 is from the cover of Superman: Peace on Earth (January 1999).
"Legendary Heroes" are lenticular cards found in approximately 1:48 packs.
Superman appears on card L1.
Each case contains an autograph card from writer and editor Denny O'Neil.
Album binders were sold with an autograph card from artist Joe Kubert. The
cards are packaged in a toploader with a gold-colored foil Rittenhouse seal.
There were 50 Archive Boxes produced that contain exclusive sketch cards.
Dealers were also awarded exclusive sketch cards for multi-case sales.
DC Legacy promo cards were distributed through various
channels. Superman appears on two promo variants. Card P1 features an image of Clark
Kent changing into Superman. Promo card SD07 contains images of Superman by Jim Lee and Joe
Shuster. The card was given away at the 2007 San Diego Comic-Con International.
