Unstoppable Series 2 Autograph Cards

See Series 1 autograph cards

Each box contains 2 or 3 autograph cards. There are 23 different actor signatures (there were 18 in set 1). Some cards are the original set 1 design (with black bases rather than orange); presumably these were held back from the first series. Not all the cards were available when the set was issued in July 2018; some were released later.

The copyright dates are 2016 (set 1 style), 2017 (Blair, Boyd, Culver, Glover, Leon) or 2018 (the rest). The base cards have a 2018 date.

There are several types of autograph card:

Standard autographs:

Robert Atiko - 1 card, RA1. It is the same photo as RA1 in series 1

BB3 BB Andy Fry

Barbara Bain - 3 cards, plus 6 Andy Fry sketch cards. The card code BB is the same as that for Brian Blessed. Card BB3 is exclusive to the triple case (1/50). BB1 and BB2 appeared in the 2018 Yearset

Double-signature cards

There are 2 double-signature cards, which are the same size as the other cards. Each is one of 50. Both these are only available with triple-case purchases. One is Nick Tate and Shane Rimmer, the other is Isla Blair and Julian Glover.

Autograph

NTSR1- Nick Tate and Shane Rimmer. Originally shown in the series 1 promotional images, it appears again in a series 2 image.

Autograph Autograph

IBJL1 - Isla Blair and Julian Glover. Another odd code- while IB is Isla Blair (unlike her individual cards, IS1 and IS2), Julian Glover does not have the initials "JL".

Black velvet facsimile cards

Not original autographs, these are printed signatures.

BMB1

Barry Morse BMB1 is an exclusive with the binder (limited to 199)

MLB1

MLB1 (Martin Landau) is an exclusive case topper (a case is 10 boxes, each of 24 packs)

Cut signature cards

These were not signed for Unstoppable, but at old events (some are evidently cut from signed photos). Unstoppable have cut the signatures into their own cards. There may be very few of these cards- with the exception of Barry Morse, there are apparently only between 1 and 3 of each. The Martin Landau and Barbara Bain one is a rare combination and is probably unique. Some cards are oversized (5 x 3.5 inches/ 13 x 9 cm)
