2013 Press Pass Parks and Recreation Trading Cards Checklist
Product Details
2013 Press Pass Parks and Recreation is the first trading card set for the popular and critically acclaimed sitcom.
The show mixes traditional elements like autographs and relic cards, but the freshness of both the license and the signature lineup make for a big first impression for collectors.
2013 Press Pass Parks and Recreation Set Details
The 2013 Press Pass Parks and Recreation base set has 90 cards. They focus on episodes from the first four seasons, capturing many of the quirkiest moments of the sitcom about municipal politics. Foil parallels are inserted once per pack.
The Parks & Rec Autographs fall two per box with all being signed on-card. Regular cast members and guest stars have signatures in the release including several first-time signers who are making their names known on the Hollywood comedy scene.
Series regulars Amy Poehler (Leslie Knope), Rob Lowe (Chris Traeger), Nick Offerman (Ron Swanson), Aubrey Plaza (April Ludgate) and Aziz Ansari (Tom Haverford) all have autograph cards in the set. High-profile guest stars signing for the set include Paul Rudd, Parker Posey and Fred Armisen.
Basic autographs come unnumbered and have silver foil. Gold Metallic Autographs are numbered to 99 or less while Red Metallic Autographs are limited to 25 numbered copies. Collectors can also look for inscribed autographs.
Inserted one per box, Relic Cards include pieces of show-worn costumes. Relics come from wardrobe pieces worn by all the main cast members, including Poehler, Plaza, Lowe, Offerman, Rashida Jones and Adam Scott. They come in three levels: Silver, Gold (#/99) and Blue Holofoil (#/25). Relic cards include a photo of the full costume on the back of the card along with which episode they were used in.
Product Configuration: 24 packs per box, 5 cards per pack

Product Review
2013 Press Pass Parks and Recreation Product Review
Reviewed by Ryan Cracknell
Good: Phenomenal autograph lineup, nice design on memorabilia cards, captures top moments from the show.
Bad: Base cards have too much going on, foil parallels lack inspiration, no basic inserts.
The Bottom Line: For the autographs alone, 2013 Press Pass Parks and Recreation gets major kudos. Few sets manage to land so many strong autographs, especially without watering the checklist down with lots of less desirable guests. The costume cards may be somewhat overlooked, but they're well done as well. The base set covers a lot of ground, perhaps too much given the small size and multiple seasons. It would have also been more exciting to see something a little more in the way of inserts.
Card Design: 3.0/5.0
The base set has a lot going on. Squeezing four seasons worth of episodes, character cards and "website" cards in a 90-card set means that each card covers a lot of ground. Episode cards have as many as eight images in addition to a lengthy write-up and episode details. While these cards use good lines to separate the various images, it's hard to decide where to focus. It's likes it covers a little bit of everything while dedicating to nothing at the same time.
I'm someone who prefers one image on the front and another on the back. I see why Press Pass is using the many images as it doesn't have the luxury of using three or four cards for every episode. It's just a tough main set to get excited about as far as appearance.
On the other hand, the autographs and memorabilia cards are fantastic. Both use a good amount of open space while still having nice sized images.
Checklist: 4.5/5.0
The 2013 Press Pass Parks and Recreation autograph checklist is one of the best ever assembled. It's a rare feat that so many key cast members are in one set. What makes it even stronger is that they're not outweighed by signatures from guests with bit parts and manufactured scarcity. While some may be a little rarer than others, it's not hugely noticeable.
Similarly, the memorabilia lineup is all main stars. Parallels and multi-swatch cards are a nice bonus.
Although I found the base set to be busy, it does a nice job of succinctly capturing the first four seasons. The write-ups are particularly notable.
Value: 4.5/5.0
Most of the monetary value in a box is going to come from the autographs. With such a strong list, it's tough not to get a good return. Individual cards haven't soared, in part because so many hit the market at the same time, but most are doing decent. This could bode well for the long-term of the cards as many will continue to have strong Hollywood careers. Foil parallels and inscriptions add a fun chase element.
The Fun Factor: 4.0/5.0
Normally, I get excited about a set as a whole. And while I do to a certain extent with 2013 Press Pass Parks and Recreation, what's most exciting are the signatures. They carry the bulk of the set's excitement. I enjoy the show, but I don't watch it every week. But I do know most of the signers from other things as well. Paul Rudd, Amy Poehler and Aubrey Plaza are some of the best names in comedy today. Rob Lowe has had a long and storied career as well.
For future releases, it would be nice to see a little more variety as far as basic inserts go. A parallel is okay, but the plain foil doesn't add much excitement to the mix.
Press Pass has done a great job with in launching Parks and Recreation. It feels fresh and succeeds, particularly if you're a fan of autographs.

I can’t believe no Rashida Jones, Adam Scott, or Chris pratt autographs!
Maybe for next years set perhaps? A variety of inserts might be nice too. Maybe an auto+wardrobe chase gets added?
Keep up the good work Press Pass!
