The 2009 Twilight Zone 50th Anniversary set is reminiscent of the four-year issues from 1999, 2000, 2002 and 2005, with the elegant black-and-white cards and the additional inserts, most notably the vast array of autographed cards. For the 50th anniversary issue, the autograph ante was upped dramatically to a total 52 cards (including three incentives), bringing it close to the card total of the regular-issue set at 79 cards. While the earlier issues had a more traditional format of individual episodes often featured on multiple cards, the Anniversary set touches on every show, with a double-sided approach and one episode on the front and a second on the reverse. A photo, original airdate and brief synopsis is provided for each episode. In addition to the main set and autographed cards, there is also a three-card promotional insert, a nine-card Portraits special and an 18-card insert highlighting one episode per card done in lenticular technology. In addition to the 49 autographs, there are four others that are case incentives, including Cliff Robertson. All cards are in essentially as-issued condition, Near-Mint to Mint or even better.
