Well, I have finally been able to open & collate my case of X-Files Connections, after 3 weeks. I wanted to wait until I had some free time (I took some vacation this week) so that I could chart the breakdown. Here are my results, posted in order of opening:

In short, this was a fantastic case! I got every insert except the autographed Pieceworks!

Complete Base Sets: 22, 4 cards short of a 23rd (15,41,57,65) 5 cards short of 24 (15,18,41,57,65)
Mulders Secret Files: 3 Complete sets, no extras
Haunting Cases: 3 Complete sets, 2 extras ( HC-5 & HC-6)
Informants/Box Loaders: 4 Complete sets, no extras
Pieceworks: 2 Complete sets (PW-1 & PW-2), no extras
Autographs: 1 complete set !! 1 extra, A9
Parallels: 3 Complete sets, 4th set short 2 cards (3 & 5), 2 extras

Obviously, I was very pleased with this case. I noticed definite patterns in collation ( or de-collation, actually), and the chase cards were inserted in set patterns. The parallels, with a few exceptions, were inserted in to boxes in 3 groups: you received one of 3-24 card groupings in a box. I labelled them "A" (1,2,7,8,14,15,18,22,24,25,29,33,36, 40,41,45,47,53,56,57,58,61,65,66), "B" (3,9,10,11,16,17,19,21,26,27,32,35,37,43,44,48,50,51,55,62,67,69,70,72), and "C" (4,5,6,12,13,20,23,28,30,31,34,38,39,42,46,49,52,54,59,60,63,64,68,71).
Overall, I really think these are sharp cards! Great job, Inkworks! One thing I found odd: the Autograph Redemption had all 11 autographs listed, as if it was printed up so that boxes could be manually checked off for redemption for late arrivals, but the "X" in the box next to Gillian Anderson's name was printed on, not manually marked, as if it was known it would be the only redemption autograph.
If I messed up anything in my above report, please excuse me, its very late, but its also now officially MY BIRTHDAY ( June 24)!!!

Nice breakdown. Interesting to note that I just double checked all the breakdowns here and not even 1 autographed pieceworks has been pulled. Thet must be one heck of a tough pull.

Hello to everyone, I have been on the boards as a guest for a while but this is my first post, so I thought I'd post the Connections box I got last week.

In pulled order:
Cant't remember the box number
BL2 (my favourite of the informants - good start)
PW1!
Secret Files M-3
Haunting Cases HC-4, HC-5
Secret Files M-5
Then I got to the final packet and there was no auto!
I was rather annoyed so in desperation and with what I thought was vain hope gave the last packet a final shuffle through.
And sitting at the back was the A1 Redemption!!!

Fantastic looking set, fantastic pulls, the best single box I ever bought.

Well, I received in the mail today the A1 Gillian Anderson Autograph card, only 1 week after mailing the redemption ! Great customer service, inkworks, take a bow! The only conern I have is that it was shipped in a plain padded envelope, no signature requrement or insurance. I realize that could get expensive for them, but with a $300+ card, I would be concerned with lost mail. Oh well, it arrived safely, so no worries! Dance
