My friend Steve won his case in a contest by a sports card publication. So, I don't know. He and I are going to work on a trade for his singles.

I just busted my box and was quite pleased.

Commons 6, 9, 31, 35, 37, 51, 66, 75, 78, 80, 89, 90

Silver Proof 1 John Travolta 045/100 and 39 Josh Duhamel 004/250

Cinema Stars CS2 Burt Reynolds 070/500

It stinks that her auto falls victim to the dreaded autograph sticker.

All in all, I am quite pleased.

Laura,

Were the base cards done on mirrorboard foil? I would not be suprised if they did a standard flat base set as DLP has done this for their Absolute sports brands.

2 more packs:

Pack 1:
Elliott Gould cinema stars auto #ed to 100

Pack 2:
Steve Guttenberg auto #ed to 300


I also picked up two cards individually: Jean Harlow hollywood legends coat #ed to 325, and Jimmy Stewart hollywood legends coat #ed to 325.

I bought these at a card show. I went there to buy a box, but everyone was already out of them. Luckily, the guy selling packs still had a few.

The base cards are not foil, they were just regular glossy card stock.
