It was good to meet you too.

I've just found out that NIK is an old friend of mine. Hope I'm lucky enough to pull a NIK card from my boxes.

Sketch cards are hard to find in this set, one case had 1 the other two had 2 each. that works out at about 1 per 7 or 8 boxes that I have done already. That said they are very nice when you get them. All of mine have been Walt Howarth sketches and I cant say I'm sorry about that. I sold two of them recently (the tenant and tardis on the SI site and something else i'll post scans later) and only becuse I had one very nice one to keep. So far every case has provided a compleat set of autos.

And thank you for selling it from the one who won it on eBay

I think I got it too cheaply as
1). It is by Walt Howarth the legendary Dr Who artist from the golden days of Dr Who annuals
and
2). redemption sketch cards are now selling at about GBP56-GBP142 on eBay

I think you got a bargain as well and it was one of the many cards I was tempted very much to keep, did you see the other dealers bidding on it? I’m pleased it’s gone to a good home. I have kept a Howarth Dalek the Master and the First Dr. I had to let one go and that was it. I was told to put it up with a BIN of £200 but I don’t feel the need to be greedy you know? I was happy with the price you paid! Have you recived it yet it was posted a Monday.

The first Dr Sketch card I got was amazing it’s not the first one on Walts list but the second one with the sly grin. I doubt I will ever part with that! I kept the Dalek because it reminds me of the 1979 Daleks annual cover! And my partner likes the Master so I kept that one as well! We actually had an artist working on the sets for Barrie his cards are signed Victor but his real name is Chris Mabbot and I will be posting more info about his work once I get permission from some of the others involved.

I can see why you want to keep that it is very nice. It's a shame that Chris Mabbot's sketches aren't up on the SI web-site. Does anybody know why??

Got my two boxes today. Haven't had time yet to crack open the packs, but I have broken the seal on the boxes as I heard there were box-toppers. One box did not have a BT, the 2nd box did.
Card WHOT-C2 a costume card, uniform of Sergeant Benton (John Levene)

Are the sketch cards Box Toppers or are they inserted into packs?

Sketches are box toppers too.

So no NIK sketch for me then

I have cracked open the packs of one box and pulled autos of a Likely lad and The Valeyard

Just opened my case today, not sorted the sets out yet but have the following:
box numbers 2065-2076
1 x Blueprints card case topper
1 x Nic sketch card
costume whot-c1
costume whot-c2
costume whot-c3
2 x costume whot-c4
1 complete auto set and the following:
1 x a2 lalla ward
1 x a3 louise jameson
1 x a4 nicola bryant
1 x a8 julian glover
2 x a10 zienia merton
1 x a11 rodney bewes
2 x a12 michael jayston
1 x a13 alexei sayle
1 x a14 david troughton
2 x a15 walt howarth
1 x a16 terry malloy

Consecutive boxes had different gold foils, and I had three dupes in the first and third boxes so I had 15 of the complete set of 18.

One box didn't meet the guarantee of "one complete base set per box" but its companion box had three of each of the missing numbers, so I got my quota. (And where would the Doctors be without Companions, anyway?) Across the three boxes I was short only 2 cards from 5 complete base sets. Those two were probably replaced by autos.

Great sketch allender

Ah the wonders of Christmas post! The missing A8 and a few promos arrived today. A big thank you again to Barrie and team.

Jeff you really have a very good First Doctor by CC there and had great luck with the autos too

Which 2 ??

A nice sketch card, allender, and 4 autos from a box is pretty neat too.

Noticed that this set is being sold in my local Toys R Us from open boxes: question is, what happened to any box toppers when they are sold on the counter this way???
