Provenance

Where it came from

The Sonic Screwdriver card, numbered 789 in the Doctor Who set, represents a cornerstone artifact within the series' trading card history. It was released to coincide with the long-running British science fiction program's legacy, serving as a functional tool used by the Doctor to manipulate locks, scan environments, and interact with complex alien technology throughout the show's various incarnations.

The card features artwork by Thanh Tuấn, whose design focuses on the iconic silhouette and mechanical intricacy of the device. By rendering the object with a balance of technical detail and atmospheric lighting, the artist aimed to emphasize its status as a multifaceted instrument of exploration rather than a simple weapon. The card was generally well-received by fans for its accurate representation of the prop's design evolution across the series.
