Memorabilia, Costume and Prop Cards
Some manufacturers, notably Topps, Inkworks and Rittenhouse Archive, have included memorabilia or costume cards, each card containing a small piece of costume or other clothing worn in a TV series or film. As with autograph cards, these have become increasingly common. Some manufacturers insert them at the ratio of one or two per box and have tried such innovations as autographed memorabilia cards, dual memorabilia cards (containing two related pieces of material) and prop cards, containing fragments of props used in the production of a particular film or TV series. One set, for the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, issued by Inkworks, had pieces of the stake used by Buffy to kill vampires.
Most are pack-inserted, though some of the thicker cards are only available by redemption.

Famous quotes containing the words costume, prop and/or cards:
“His hair has the long jesuschrist look. He is wearing the costume clothes. But most of all, he now has a very tolerant and therefore withering attitude toward all those who are still struggling in the old activist political ways ... while he, with the help of psychedelic chemicals, is exploring the infinite regions of human consciousness.”
—Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)
“Them she upstays
Gently with myrtle band, mindless the while
Herself, though fairest unsupported flower,
From her best prop so far, and storm so nigh.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“Men disappoint me so, I disappoint myself so, yet courage, patience, shuffle the cards ...”
—Margaret Fuller (1810–1850)
