Heroes Season 1 (Topps)
Got my first ever online-ordered boxes today (perfect service, despite the delay Thumb Up ) :

Out of the 2 boxes I got 3 base sets, a complete 10-piece foil set plus # 1, 4, 7, 8, 9 + 10 as doubles.

Unfortunately I had neither a sketch nor an autograph. Frown

But I got 2 nice costume cards (no Parkman - which seems to be a small wonder... Wink ):
a Claire 2-color logo-patch and a piece of the Isaac Mendez painter shirt (with red and brownish paint).
On the back of the Clare card is a picture of her sweaters logo, but nowhere on that is a piece of yellow and red... there is always black in between... wonder where this piece actually comes from...

Maybe I'll manage to trade the costume cards against some autograph or sketch.

I'd be delighted to trade you for your costumes. Cool

But I cannot tell a lie. Your Claire Patch is super-scarce, and you could probably trade it for up to five autographs or sketches. The average selling price for the last six auctionned copies is $149.46. Wink

That Claire patch card is SWEET! I have some sketches if you are interested in trading... I believe I posted pictures of all 4 of them above. Please email me if you are interested in working something out.

My dealer had slight problem with my Heroes order so I just received my two cases today. They were well worth the wait though.

Here are my pulls from case #1


Here are my pulls from case #2


I think I got some fantastic sketches. I couldn't believe that I got a Cat Staggs sketch, a Sean Pence sketch (my favorite of my sketch pulls) and a very nice Taki Soma sketch out of one case. Plus, I was hoping to get either Claire or Hiro autograph (or both Big Grin ), so I was also really happy to get the Hiro's.

I will admit that I was really disappointed with the repeats of costume cards. The Matt Parkman repeats were kind of expected, but I was surprised to pull three Hiro jacket cards too.

Even with the repeat costumes, I still feel really good about my cases. Although, I think this means that I should quit while I'm ahead.

I'd say it's Claire. Claire has "puffier" hair than Niki/Jessica.

She doesn't wear them all the time for sure.

Niki usually parts her hair in the middle or pulls it back. Sometimes she parts it from the other side.









Claire has parted it that way at times...



So does Hayden...



Maybe it's neither... looks like Elle to me. Big Grin

Here are my pulls from my second case. I didn't bother with the 2 parkman's (I think everyone knows what those look like by now Roll Eyes) or the mostly white Isaac costume card.

Picked up two boxes here.

Box #1: Parkman sketch by Michael Duron

And, I looked back through the breakdown thread and I didn't see anyone pulling one of these yet (but I could have missed it) anyway...

Box #2: Isaac sketch by Tim Sale Thumb Up

Would love to post it but I have a poopy scanner. Going to snap off a digital pic of it if someone would care to host it for the board? Let me know.

Dispite the great sketches pulled, the Sale one has to be the Holy Grail of this set Clap Looking forward to seeing it Thumb Up

KJN well done on the Sale sketch, that's awesome, I'm very jealous. For me, the Sale sketch is kinda like a propwork!

I'm also in the 'ordered from Richard' catagory and I've been told it should be this week.
