Bought a case at The NEC today and ended upwith 30 inserts in the 12 boxes

8 sketches plus 4 redemptions
7 autos plus 5 redemptions
6 costume redemption cards

so 6 boxes had 1 auto and sketch and 6 boxes had an auto, sketch and Costume.

still 5 autos short of a full set and 1 costume
and no Czop sketch

Hi,

No way I could post individual box breakdowns for all the boxes but the below is a summary of the high end chase pulled from 20 cases (240 boxes)

Autograph Cards - 240
Sketch Cards - 232
Costume Cards - 115

We don't collate the base sets in house so I have no idea on the collation of these yet. Although I think it is hard to make sets from single boxes, possibly a way of getting the base sets to hold value and not get dumped on eBay for 99p Big Grin

I will be putting together a sketch card gallery including all the variations we have found in due course (when we have redeemed all the skethes)!

Awww Gimli, you've nabbed the info I was about to post!

Hmmm... I suppose since you actually BOUGHT the case you can get away with it!

But seriously, I am horrified that these boxes are not sealed in any way, and with the pattern of inserts we observed with Gimil's case this afternoon I would NEVER buy it from someone I didn't trust, mh002a6228, I dislike pointing fingers but either the person you bought this box from was untrustworthy and had taken the 4 most likely packs to have insert cards in them out, or you have my sort of luck at box contents Shake Head

In my three boxes I did have an auto (or redemption) in each. 1 box had a sletch. I could not see any simularity between boxes regarding the position of the Autos. In each case the magic pack was in a different position. So I don't see how a 'cherry picker' will know which packs to lift.

Bought one box at the NEC today!

4 Pretty in Pink cards
2 Thunderbirds to the rescue
1 Autograph- Ron Cook as Parker Smile
1 Sketch card redemption - Warren Martinek Big Grin
1 Costume Redemption- Brains Checked Shirt Big GrinBig Grin

Not bad for a £30 box Thumb Up

Anyone know if the cards are being sent out yet?

Also, is it possible to tell which sketch card you will get of Martineck's? eg Ink or Colour?

right I have sorted my case base sets and insert cards

I got 21 base sets

and NO chases sets

so in all the boxes I got even numbers of the pink subset and odd numbered cards of the other sub set I have to say that is very bad No chase sets in a whole case. Very poor and not one box contained a full set although I did end up with 21 sets with all the boxes. I would have had more but I was lacking No 60 and 62 cards and had way too many 61 and 63 so if anyone has had problems like me and want to trade drop us a line

I just finished sorting out a set from my box and am very dissapointed with base card collation.

Well we have been saying that base sets are too numerous, so that's not so bad - but no chase sets out of a case is VERY BAD. I would contact Cards Inc over that.

It was actually pretty hard to make base sets from the original series, there were 6 or so cards that were short-printed... Big Grin

Well Cards inc have got the autograph shipping on this set down pat. I sent the redemption card off on Monday morning and got it back yesterday, pretty impressive. Nice card too.

Still waiting for the Brains check shirt costume card.
