MORRISVILLE, NC – Inkworks has announced that it has acquired the licensing rights to produce trading cards for the critically acclaimed and award-winning HBO^® hit television series THE SOPRANOS®. The first trading card set featuring the drama series will be THE SOPRANOS^®: SEASON ONE PREMIUM TRADING CARDS, which is now available.

On January 10, 1999, the first episode of The Sopranos aired and instantly became a pop-culture phenomenon. Inkworks brings all the drama, seduction and action of the Season One episodes to a new 72-card base set trading card series. This extraordinary ultra-premium release is printed on premium foil board, giving every card a "chase card" look and feel.

ADDITIONAL AUTOGRAPH
JUST ANNOUNCED! JULY 12, 2005
Dominic Chianese "Junior Soprano"

Dominic Chianese (“Junior Soprano”) is a fabulous last minute addition to The Sopranos: Season One autograph line-up. “We are very excited to let our customers and collectors know that we have just added a Dominic Chianese autograph card for The Sopranos: Season One,” said Allan Caplan, president of Inkworks. “Junior Soprano IS the patriarch of the Sopranos family and a key member of the cast. This was an autograph that we have been working on for some time because we know how popular it will be for fans of The Sopranos. Unfortunately, the agreement was not finalized until after the product was packed out, so we were unable to even insert redemption cards for it into packs.”

After the Dominic Chianese autograph cards have been signed and returned to Inkworks, they will be allocated at rate of one per case and shipped to Inkworks customers based previous orders as well as future orders of The Sopranos: Season One. Retailers should contact their Inkworks distributor or the Inkworks sales office with any questions.

Also available is a beautifully rich, padded on all three sides, collector album developed exclusively for this special The Sopranos: Season One release that will also then coordinate with all planned six season releases...and maybe seven.
