Rittenhouse 2023 NCIS – Autograph Expansion Pack

An autograph expansion pack from Rittenhouse's NCIS line — a run of 300 packs in total. Every card in the pack is an autograph: 9 per pack, with Pauley Perrette and Rocky Carroll guaranteed in every one.

Pauley Perrette does not act any more

She played Abby Sciuto for fifteen seasons and left NCIS in 2018 after a publicly difficult departure. In 2020 she announced that she had retired from acting entirely, and she has not returned.

That matters for a card like this in a way it would not for a working actor. An autograph checklist is normally a snapshot of who was available to sign that year, and most names on it will sign again. A retired actor's signature stock is finite — what exists is what exists, and no future set will add to it.

Abby was also, by some distance, the most popular character on one of the most watched dramas in the world. The combination of a large audience and a closed supply is exactly the condition that makes a signature hold its interest.

What an autograph expansion pack is

Not a hobby pack. There are no base cards, no inserts and no chase — nine cards, nine signatures, sold as a unit.

Rittenhouse uses the format for sets where the demand is for the signatures rather than the collecting. It is transparent pricing: you can see exactly what you are getting before you open it.

Who signs

Pauley Perrette (Abby Sciuto), Rocky Carroll (Leon Vance), Brian Dietzen (Jimmy Palmer), Michael Nouri (Eli David), Lauren Holly (Jenny Shepard), Rena Sofer, Diane Neal, Jessica Steen, Sarah Jane Morris, Stephanie Mello and Pancho Demmings. Twelve autograph cards exist in total.

Pack A and Pack B differ

The set was issued as two different pack configurations, each with a fixed contents list. Pack A includes Sarah Jane Morris variant A, Brian Dietzen and Diane Neal; Pack B includes Morris variant B, Lauren Holly and Michael Nouri. Both contain Perrette and Carroll.

If you need a specific signature, ask before ordering.
