Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas
Trading Card Game - Premiere Edition
NECA - 2005
Notes: Starter decks contain 46 random common and uncommon cards plus the two Game-Aid cards. There are four different starter deck themes, based on four characters: Jack, Oogie, The Mayor, or Dr. Finklestein. Booster packs contain 8 Commons, 3 Uncommons, and 1 Rare; an Ultra-Rare replaces a Common in 1:9 packs. A list of the special eight-card Tournament cards, distributed in 2006, is given at the end of the "sort by rarity" section. Thanks much to Mark Pratt for the base list! Further information and scans are found at the NECA web archive.
