My luck seems to have changed for the better.

Base set and autos are the strength of this release. FV,CP,PT and expansion cards are the weakness. If I had pulled a Delta patch card the rating would have been a solid B for creative design.

I have some unopened boxes of ST TOS 40th Anniversary cards that I have been meaning to get around to opening. Last night I opened one box.

In the bottom of the box was a Leonard Nimoy autographed costume card!

Wasn't this the six-case incentive card? Is it normal for Rittenhouse to seed these types of cards in the bottom of boxes?

Kennywood,
you are looking at the wrong checklist. The checklist you are looking at is the 40th anniversary, Brian Davis bought a box of the original series (TOS) 40th anniversary.
