2017 Rittenhouse Buffy the Vampire Slayer Ultimate Collector’s Set 3 Checklist, Details
Over the last 20 years, virtually every major actor from Buffy the Vampire Slayer has signed autograph cards for the series. 2017 Rittenhouse Buffy the Vampire Slayer Ultimate Collector’s Set 3 knocks another one off the list with Seth Green finally agreeing to lend his signature to trading cards.
Seth Green Autographs and More
Once lead star Sarah Michelle Gellar finally signed for Rittenhouse, Green was probably the biggest star among the Buffy‘s regular cast not to have an autographed card connected to the show. In fact, Green hasn’t signed for any product, no matter the license. He played Oz, a musician by trade and werewolf by mystical means, on the show before moving on to other projects including Robot Chicken a few years later.
Like the previous two releases under the Rittenhouse banner, 2017 Buffy the Vampire Slayer Ultimate Collector’s Set 3 is a premium mini release anchored by big-name autographs and a low production run.

Each set includes at least one Seth Green autograph card. Like the previous releases centered on Gellar (Set 1) and Alyson Hannigan (Set 2), Green has both full-bleed and bordered versions. Sets come with one of the two.
The signatures don’t end there. Two more autograph cards are included in each set from a list of three cards: Green, Gellar and Hannigan. These are Gold Autographs signed in colored ink on a dark background.
Rounding things out are 20th Anniversary Metal Character Retrospective cards. Each set has two of the eight cards.
Incentives
2017 Rittenhouse Buffy the Vampire Slayer Ultimate Collector’s Set 3 has two levels of incentive cards. Those ordering a pair of sets receive a dual autograph card featuring Hannigan and her real-life husband, Alexis Denisof. He played Wesley on the show as well as the Angel spinoff.
The bonus for ordering four sets from Rittenhouse is a full set of eight metal cards plus a sketch card. Charles Hall, David Desbois, Mick and Matt Glebe, Kristin Allen and Tim Shay are some of the featured artists.

Nice.
Funny that he never signed cards. He signed a TON of his comic books over the years. The dual auto should be very popular.
