Default Wicked For Good Trading Cards

Did anyone order this with their digital copy of the movie receive their pack of cards yet? Just checking as it's been a couple of weeks and I never received mine.

I just got notice that it shipped. Curious to see these and who made them. Supposedly you can get relics and foil cards.

So I got my pack. It's unfortunate, but it looks like Universal did these cards themselves and the image quality is terrible. I got an Elphaba character card that says "Unleash your magic, create your destiny" on the back. The cards do not appear to be numbered. I also got a Glinda foil card that says "Living in a dream" on the back. And finally, I got a Glinda relic card...sorry for the bad picture, but as I said the image quality is terrible



They call it a "fabric remnant" from the costumes in the film so I imagine these are actually left over fabric from when they made the costumes and not necessarily fabric from a costume used in production. It's hard to say. There is a certificate and you can register the card online (not sure what the purpose of that is). Only one listed on eBay is for $5000 BIN or BO. Seems a bit steep. The image in that auction is better. I would not buy these from eBay as you can tell there is a relic in the pack.

Did they really just take a screengrab to make these? The card looks nice. And well done. But that picture looks horrible in low res

That is kind of what it looks like. It reminds me of the early Breygent releases.

I mean, they should have access to the same high-resolution publicity images as all other companies creating licensed product. I could make a high resolution card with a screencap from the 4K version of the film trailer.

It was either laziness or they hired a really bad printer.

Wow. That looks like a bootleg photo from a theater screening.

It looks like these were done by a company called "The Realest" who mostly do memorabilia. They've done encased Blake Corum/DJ Skee autos before, but this seems like their first "pack-issued" release

Looking for autos/relics of cartoon voice actors - one role as confirmed on IMDb is enough to qualify.

Just missing the silhouette of the person sitting in front of the guy taking the photo on his phone.
