My first 2 boxes arrived today I got lucky Cheers Barrie.
Box: 30 packs of 5 cards, 2 Foil, and 1 Autograph. Expect 2.04 base card sets (72) per box if collation were perfect. Stated odds as per box are: Foil - Not Mentioned, Autograph - 1:30, Sketch Card - 1:120. Stated odds as per pack: Foil 1:12, Autograph 1:30, Sketch 1:30.
Onto the box - Box Number 22
Base Sets - 0 - 71/72 cards for 1st set, 51/72 for 2nd set and 25 odd cards.
Sketch - 1 Leah Mangue (35 Sketches Done By Artist)
Click on the thumbnail for a bigger scan, it's the best I can do with Photobucket.
The base set is gorgeous with many unseen images. I think I beat the odds.
The other box is for a mate, so I will post that breakdown when he opens it. I wonder where my case is?
Has anyone pulled any foils yet?This message has been edited. Last edited by: jaseb,

You did well with that box, I believe 1 box in each case has 2 autos and a sketch so you picked the right box to open for yourself.

Any chance we can see some scans of the sketch cards ?
Thanks

Here's my first case breakdown: Box 251: Caroline Munro auto
Box 252: Valerie Lyon auto
Box 253: Madeline Smith auto Hazel Court auto Sketch by NIK
Box 254: Martine Beswicke auto
Box 255: No auto Sketch by Carolyn Edwards
Box 256: Caroline Munro auto
Box 257: Veronica Carlson auto
Box 258: Martine Beswicke auto Sketch by Rowena Pagarigan
Box 259: Madeline Smith auto
Box 260: Hazel Court auto
Case topper: Jenny Hanley auto
So 12 autos including the case topper and 3 sketches. Will post sketches later, no foils due to error at the printers and these will be sent out later apparently.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Jason Wright,

Got my two boxes today (binder to follow apparently).
Box 0017 No auto or sketch. Will need to speak to Barrie about this. Base Set: Incomplete (missing 11, 24, 27, 33, 34, 42, 46, 52, 64)
Box 0018 Sketch: Carolyn Edwards - Ingrid Pitt (I think) Base Set: Incomplete (missing 15, 27, 60, 62, 66)
No foils in either box (I guess from Doctor Jas that these will follow).
The base set images are very nice with different images/puzzles/background info on the reverse. The cards stock is a little thin, but well printed. It is a bit disappointing to not get a base set from each box, but I am sure Barrie can fix this.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Thush,
Cool was also the word I used Don, and no you can't have it back I thought that was one of the best sketches you've done for this set so was chuffed to have pulled it.

Next case
Box 201: Caroline Munro auto
Box 202: Valerie Lyon auto Madeline Smith auto Sketch of the Vampire Bride by Don Pedicini Jr
Box 203: Martine Beswicke auto
Box 204: Hazel Court auto
Box 205: Valerie Lyon auto Sketch by RAM
Box 206: Caroline Munro auto
Box 207: Ingrid Pitt auto Sketch by RAM
Box 208: Martine Beswicke auto
Box 209: Madeline Smith auto Veronica Carlson auto
Box 210: Caroline Munro auto
Overall really pleased although suprised to get 2 sketches by the same artist as there were supposed to be no duplicate artists in any one case. Going to save some pennies for a couple more cases.

Great I am glad you got it, that was one of my favorites too from the set.

Yes. Guaranteed on the box.

Out of interest which Ingrid Pitt auto was included as the box topper? The "Binder" card or another one, also no Jenny Hanley case toppers, I know that they are supposed to be limited now but all the same...

I actually put down the wrong info and quickly edited that post, it was the Jenny Hanley case topper I got.

Received my box today, binder to follow. It seems that my lucky streak continues as I got one of the hot boxes containing 2 autos and a sketch.
Box no.0025 (My lowest box no. ever I think) Base sets None missing 14 & 44 Foils None Autographs HA6 - Hazel Court HA9 - Martine Beswicke Sketch Cards Don Pedicini Jr. (Scan to follow)
I've just noticed that the foil cards aren't mentioned on the box at all, but they are on the packs. Also the odds of finding a sketch card on the box is 1:120 but 1:30 on the packs.

My 2 boxes came today - boxes 0008 & 0009 my lowest Strictly-Ink numbers ever (I had number 0010 of Dr Who trilogy). Binder to follow as with everyone else.
The bad news is that I can't open them to the weekend - other evening/work commitments won't allow me to do them proper justice until then.
Results later.

My box arrived today and it was numbered 0010. I have had time to open all the packets but not sort the cards other than discover that I have Nik color sketch of Christopher Lee and a autographed Valerie Leon card.

Not a full breakdown.
But out of my case I had one dud box, no autos. One hot (or not so hot) box with two autos but no sketch. Out of the entire case I got two (count em') two sketch cards. One very excellent colour sketch by Nik of Ursula Andress from "She" and one (unidentifiable) half profile sketch from Rich Molinelli. So 11 autographs including the case topper.
Have been in touch with Barrie concerning the short ratio, so I wait patiently to see if he can deliver. Fingers crossed.
