RALEIGH, NC - Inkworks, under license from Viacom Consumer Products, announces the May 28, 2003, release of the highly anticipated CHARMED: THE POWER OF THREE ULTRA-PREMIUM TRADING CARDS. CHARMED: THE POWER OF THREE captures scenes and characters from the first season to the current season. This gorgeous 72-card series features subsets including "The Charmed Ones," "Memories," "Friends and Family," "Book of Shadows," and much more. All of the cards in the base set are printed with an ultra-premium mirror foil board, which gives a chase-card feel to every card.

"CHARMED: THE POWER OF THREE is probably the most requested trading card set that we have ever produced," said Allan Caplan, president of Inkworks. "After the success of CHARMED: SEASON ONE, we have had collectors and fans calling, emailing and sending us cards and letters asking about future Charmed trading cards. We are happy to be able to deliver an incredible product in response to those requests. I think fans will find that it was worth the wait."
