So, here I am opening my first ever Army of Darkness box, just casually opening my packs when, what's this? 3 autos in the same pack! Bruce Thomas, Ian Abercrombie & Richard Grove

here is the final tally:

box loader

2 glow in the dark inserts (1/6 & 5/6)

4 autos Richard Grove, Ian Abercrombie, James Kuhoric & Bruce Thomas

2 sketches (both cards by same artist, but not sure who it is)

I haven't sorted the base cards yet, but obviously I am missing #23. (anybody have any to trade? )

forgot the pics!

Miss Lizzy, card #23 was not included in boxes. They realized the mistake and printed the card separately, and sent packets of them to dealers who ordered boxes, to give to collectors.
My dealer got the packet of cards, but there was no explanation along with them, and the image on that card is pretty ugly, so he just threw them away.

You can still find the card if you look around, I had to buy mine from a mail order seller.

Yeah, I realized after I had bought the box and was looking at this thread that there would not be a 23 in my box. I looked on eBay, but I didn't see any of that card there, and I don't think DF is going to have any more to give out. I was hoping that someone here could help me. Do you know if the seller you bought from still has some?

Lizzy, I think I got them from Klaatu Collectibles, but it was quite a while ago.
If I see one at the Chicago Show tomorrow, I'll pick one up, but these might be hard to find now.

I was able to contact DF (emailed Brian Hofacker), and they are going to send me some. I really didn't think they would still have any. Thank you so much for your help and the offer!

You're welcome Lizzy. I had tried getting these cards through DF also. They never sent them, so that's why I bought them from the mail order place.

Well, that's discouraging. He said that they will be sent out on Monday. I will post here again whether or not they show up.

Yes I would like it very much.
Do you have a want list?

No, I don't even know what my collecting interest is right now beyond having fun opening boxes and sharing them and other articles I write on my blog. Shoot me your address to andrew AT whodidthewhatnow.com

I'll mail it out to ya, no trade necessary.

Email sent! You are very generous, but I must insist on sending you some promos or something so make sure to email me your address!

Thank you!!
