Rittenhouse's Cheers Premiere Edition covers the first four seasons of the bar where everybody knows your name, in a retro-style design with photography that had not been published before. This is what a box and a case contain.
The configuration
A box holds 24 packs of 5 cards with 2 on-card autographs and 1 costume relic. A sealed case of 12 boxes therefore averages 24 autographs and 12 relics, and guarantees at least one Ted Danson or Kelsey Grammer signature. A case topper is included.
Who signs
Ted Danson (Sam), Kelsey Grammer (Frasier), George Wendt (Norm), John Ratzenberger (Cliff), Bebe Neuwirth (Lilith) and more, all signed on-card. Autographs come in three variants: full-bleed, bordered and inscription.
The relics
The costume relics carry screen-used wardrobe from Ted Danson, Kelsey Grammer, Shelley Long, Rhea Perlman, George Wendt and Woody Harrelson. With one relic in every box, a case gives twelve chances at the six names.
The inserts
The base set is 99 cards from Seasons 1 to 4. The insert series are Norm! — named for the greeting George Wendt received every time he walked in — Quotable Cheers, Memorable Duos, Starring Characters and Opening Sequence, together with Gold parallels numbered to 82 and hand-drawn sketch cards.
Case incentive
At nine cases, a dual autograph signed by John Ratzenberger and George Wendt: Cliff and Norm, on the same card, as they were on the same two bar stools.
All pull rates are averages across the full print run. No individual box or case is guaranteed to contain any particular insert, sketch or signer beyond the configuration described above.
