2021 Rittenhouse Game of Thrones Iron Anniversary Series 2 Arya Stark Subset

 Yesterday, I posted my Game of Thrones thoughts and Arya Stark was my favorite character from the show.  I really like how Maisie Williams played the character while she grew up on the show.
From the 2021 Rittenhouse Game of Thrones Iron Anniversary Series 2 set, each character had 9 cards.  The backs were puzzle pieces. 
Arya was fiercely loyal to her family and isn't the typical lady of the age.  She found herself enjoying a sword in her hand as opposed to wearing a dress.  She's a very strong character played very well.  The design of this set is simple, but good, and the photos let us see the character's changes throughout the show's 8 seasons.
This was an eBay purchase and I'm glad I picked these cards up.  Would really enjoy getting an autograph of hers from one of the sets but they are pricey.  Below is the back of all 9 cards put together which gives us an additional picture of Arya.

2012 Marvel Greatest Heroes Cards

These are from a pack of the 2012 Rittenhouse Marvel Greatest Heroes trading cards.  Five cards came in the pack.  This Loki Villains insert (1:6 packs) is my favorite of the pack.  I really like the art and simplicity of the card.  The art on the base cards is pretty nice as well.  The Ant-Man and Hawkeye cards harken back to some good classic looks.  The backs are simple but ok.  Definitely a set I'd look at getting more cards from.  As always I would have liked to see more than five cards but this is definitely the trend with these cards.

2013 Women of Marvel Series 2 Trading Cards

Grabbed a pack of the 2013 Women of Marvel Series 2 cards while in Ohio.  I love non-sports cards but the card shows I get to rarely have much to offer from this genre of cards so I grabbed some different packs which I'll show off one at a time.  I was looking forward to breaking this one but was a bit disappointed.  The designs on the front are a bit dark and if some of the detail seems tough to read in the scan that is because they aren't the easiest to read due to the colors/design.  The art is actually pretty nice.  I will also say the design going up the front left side of the card is nice but doesn't show well here.  
The pack contained five cards which is tough when you're used to the higher amounts that come out of the sports packs.  I of course know Scarlet Witch and Mockingbird but I'm not familiar with the other three.  The face on the Scarlet Witch really reminds me of the actress from the Avengers' movies.  I'm still on the fence about this set but doubt I'll have a chance to grab more.  Still it was fun to see these cards for the first time and maybe I'll run across some singles sometime.
