GRIMM Collector Cards (Breygent, 2013)
Tom did not get offended, he just asked a simple question if you (we) rather see 3 out of the 4 colors since yellow indeed does not show well. Tom acknowledges that and he want to have some input so he can improve his next set.

Arvin I was just asking what people thought.
We have a few more ideas also we are working on for future sets.

I don't really care for the one color cards...I honestly thought they were printing mistakes. There nothing to distiguish them from the regular base card except they only have one color. I honestly would prefer some other base parallel if that is what these were supposed to be

Honestly, the idea isn't a bad one. These make a nice additional item to collect. It's just the the yellow cards don't show very well. If you can find some way to make the images viewable then you'll have something. It's a lot better and cheaper than trying to find four different printing plates from a release.

They are the ones I would collect, they have an x-ray type quality, but I think that it also depends on the card photo. I had a pink of a wide scene that did not show enough detail, but I had another pink of a card with a close up portrait and I liked the way it looked.

So if its ideas you want, I would say that only tested cards that show well should get the treatment, not the full run. And maybe instead of getting two black, yellow, blue and pink of random cards in a box, you could get all four colors on only two cards. In other words you would have all proof colors on the same two pictures, rather than one color on eight different cards.

I am just going to get one set of proof cards with some of each of the four colours. Going to be mainly the black ones but as Raven says there are some where other colours are better, even one or two yellow ones Smile .

You noticed!!! Trying to be clever I edited the 4/5 post rather than replying so lost it Shake Head

I received my box today and I pulled

1 base set
1 Grimm Secrets GS-2
2 Aunt Marie's Trailer AMT-7, AMT-8
2 Lenticular cards GL 9, GL 10
1 Auto Brad William Henke
2 Costume cards GC-7, GC9

and 8 of those ugly misprinted cards. Which turned out to be not misprinted at all... well, if I hadn't read here about them being intended to look this way, I would've thrown them away.

Ah, that's a bit rough. Except the yellow, I am starting to dig them quite a bit. The more I look at them, the more I would like to be able to have all 4 (even the yellow) of my favorite base cards.

Hopefully you are "Hap"py with your autograph card. Smile

Just opened what feels like a pretty awful box.

Base set is missing 1 card
Eight proof cards but one is a duplicate
2 puzzle cards
1 Grimm Secrets
2 Lenticular
1 costume (Turner/Weir Mitchell dual)
1 autograph (Weir Mitchell)

That's it.

I opened a 2nd box, and it was quite different from the first box.

Grimm Secrets GS-2
Aunt Marie's Trailer AMT-2 & 3
Lenticular GL 13 & 14
2 costume cards GC-20 and GC-21 (the one with 7 pieces!) Smile
1 prop card GPR-4
Daniel Baldwin autograph DBAC-1

Wow. I was surprised and pleased by this box. I had one costume and no prop in the first box.

Cracked a case of this Sunday night, this case was probably the most far out case I've ever done......

Base sets: Not sure
Proof cards 8 per box: 110 YES 110!!!!!
Puzzle cards 2 per box: 30 (Made 2 sets)
Lenticular Cards 2 per pox: 31 (Made 1 set)
Secret cards 1 per box: 25 (Made 7 sets seriously)
Auto's at one per box: 10 Frown
Costume cards 1 or 2 per box: 16
Prop cards 1 in 3 boxes: 11 Eek Eek Eek Eek

The case was factory sealed and so were the boxes but it was a mixed emotion case, 1 box had no hits, another box had 3 Auto's 2 props and 6 or 7 costume cards Smile Smile Smile
1 Box had 20 proof cards in it no joke

Already emailed tom about my case break and the really nice thing is he got back to me within 30 mins Smile
My Case was probably the last case off the printing line lol!!!!!!

In terms of Auto's, not good but did pull 8 main cast members which was really good
Nick Smile
Hank x 2 Smile
Munroe Smile
Sargent Wu
The Captain
Adalind
Rosalee Smile Smile Smile
2 lesser known Characters

Costume cards were 13 Different ones with 2 Variations and 1 duplicate so that was good Smile Smile Smile

The Props were the highlight, 3 rare and 7 normal ones

On the whole I feel Breygent outdid themselves and really went the distance on this set Smile Smile Smile Smile

So I got a far out case and did not get 12 Auto's, but the props, costume and the rest more than made up for it Smile Smile Smile Smile Smile
