i have just broke 2 cases and i have a greneral result

46 autos (2 short no Jolene auto)
22 enterprise crew cards (2 short) made 2 sets
23 Ulitimate jolene (1 short) made 2 sets

5 sets of macos and more odd cards than in the 5 sets
4 first contact sets

have to say a very disappointing set and I think that the collation in my cases was terrible

I had one box that had vertually no inserts. I pulled 1 auto and a few lesser chase cards and that was it

all in all very disappointed Email on way to Rittenhouse

First the good stuff...
Base design commons A
Collation B+
Auto design B+ (MACO3)

Now for the rest of the story...
Wrapper design C
Box design C
Inserts D (few and far between)
Pack content F- (only 5 cards each)

Overall D
Release lacks imagination and collecting value.
RH usually does far better.

Here's where a company can't win cause some of the things are so individual in taste. I LOVED the wrapper, the box looked fine to me. Having 5 cards in a pach for a card set with only 80 cards was GREAT since we all know we don't use all the sets we make anyway and it kept postage costs down when shipping boxes. I didn't run into any collation issues beyond one autograph card, but in all my cases (7), the overall spread of inserts was pretty even...I got about the same number of each different insert for sets (except a few less of Montgomery's casting call and F30 for some reason, but it wasn't realllly far off) If one takes all the boxes I broke times the odds of getting a certain insert, I was only off by a small percentage (for example in 80 boxes I was off three Jolene cards)
In my 7 cases, I could make:
9 casting call cards, more if I can trade a couple of Montogmery's.
8 Jolene sets
34 maacos sets
14 FC sets (more if I can swap out for F30)
My autos were all about the same number ( so I could make 9 Macos sets) and 9 other sets...well if I got some more TpOls (wahahahahaha)
and my case toppers broke exactly even.

I think for a collector who breaks at the case level, it could be tight, what helps ME is incentives, which won't help them as much.

I was just chatting with someone (Hi there!!) who thought he might have liked the other earlier sets, but I liked this one the best of the three. The images were sharp, the checklist cards were neat and there were lots of Bakula shots, what more could a girl want

Very nice set overall! My only issue is with the checklists: they look more like they were "torn" instead of nicely cut, the edges show a lot of white. Anyone else had that happen? I'll e-mail RA to see if I can get replacement ones. Really happy anyway with the box!

Macos M1,M2,M5,M6.

First Contact F28,F29

Ultimate Jolene J3

Crew Card CC5 Hoshi

Stunned to get such a tough card to pull as usually when I buy a box cheap I only get common auto's.

I then opened a box of Season One of Enterprise I got off the same seller and that had the A1 Dominic Keating auto .

I am just off to my local paper shop to buy some lottery tickets to see if good luck does come in threes .

Nice pulls Triple-Frog. Congrats on the Jolene auto.
