I had to pick up a box of Supernatural seasons 1-3 on eBay because my comic book store refuses to fight with Cryptozoic anymore. The cards are very nice and I did for once get what was advertised.
I got a full set of 72 cards with a couple of extras
We've broken 4 boxes so far. We have found parallels for two of the 3 insert sets, (not the CP cards), and 3 levels of parallels to the base set.
That's why I came here to see what other folks are getting since it seems so totally random.
I don't see the information on parallels posted on Cryptozoic's checklist on the website, nor mentioned by them in the thread here on the Board.
The base card parallels are: Gold (numbered on back) Silver (numbered on back) and what I'm calling "Electric"....sorta lightning across the front finish, but nothing distinctive about the back of the card.
The insert parallels: So far we've found "Electric" J inserts and Silver "J" inserts. And "Electric" "L" inserts.
Out of 4 boxes (one of which had NO parallels of any kind, we have a total of 6 Base parallels and 4 Insert parallels.
I have no idea what the packing ratios ought to be, if there's any sense to it at all.
Oh, and we got 2 regular "L", 2 regular "J" and 1 CP per box, along with the 1 auto, 1 wardrobe.

I opened one box of this. Here is my box break:
1 base set 1 Character Bio card, CP3 Bobby Singer 2 Winchester Brothers cards, J1 & J5 2 Locations cards, L04 & L06 2 Mega Moon Lava foil parallels, base set #69 and Winchester Brothers J6 1 silver foil parallel card, #50 numbered 09/25 1 gold foil parallel card, #56 numbered 09/10 Wardrobe card M19, Sam Winchester Autograph card A14, Amber Benson
The silver foil parallel card has been damaged with marks on the bottom of it as if it was caught when the package was being sealed. I have logged the issue with Cryptozoic. I am curious to see the response. I am not sure that they would be able to replace numbered parallels.
I pulled the same autograph & wardrobe cards from my box that Chris Cline pulled.
I like the set, but I don't see the need for so many parallel cards. I won't be chasing them all.

My box was a gift for Christmas 2014.
Here is my box break :
1 base set 1 Character Bio card : CP7 Jo Harvelle (great, I loved her ! ) 2 Locations cards : L05 and L08 2 Winchester Brothers cards : J3 and J8 1 Mega Moon Lava Foil parallel : card Location L01 Wardrobe card :M10 John Winchester ( ) and 2 Autograph cards : A16 Linda Blair & A01 Jim Beaver.
I was so happy !! The set is very great, inserts cards very cool. Costume card of Jeffrey Dean Morgan : very cool surprise and I didn't expect to find 2 autograph cards !! (I found the second, Jim Beaver's, in the last pack ! )
Great collection.
