Star Trek: TOS Art & Images (Rittenhouse Archives)
Got my case yesterday. All I can say is its a good thing Lost was coming out at the same time- only had enough for 1 case of this so I could get 2 cases of Lost.
Got pretty much what I expected.
1 base set in each box. No full sets of inserts(1 short for Artifex, 7 for Animated Expanded Universe, 3 for Comics). 6 sketches- did get a Martineck. 24 autos... A13 A16 A19 A20 A21(x2) A22(x2) A23 A24 A25 A26 A28 A29 A31(x2) A33(x2) A34 A35 A36 A38 A41 A42
From these autos- 1 very limited- A16 Montalban 5 limiteds- A13 Bobby Clark A23 William Windom A26 Michael Ansara A34 Joanne Linville A36 Kathryn Hays
No Collins No Nimoy No Takei No Goodwin No Barrett No Craig No Koenig No Whitney No Meriwether No Woodville
Don't even care about asking Rittenhouse about anything. Not worth it plus I already got something for the bad cases of Enterprise 4 and Battlestar Galactica Premier Edition I opened. Just a re-occuring trend with their cases. It's either hit or miss and I seem to miss all the time. Really considering not breaking anymore of their product and just buying Archive boxes or master sets of that auction site.
Hope your cases/boxes are better.

I am also pissed of the case collations from this series. Opened my first case of the 2 that i bought. The result is not 1 very limited card and 5 of the limited cards. So if my second case is the same i will stop buying cases from any rittenhouse product. I had the same problem last time with the Enterprise season 4 case i had with zero very limited cards.
Will post on monday my 2 case findings.

I opened 5 boxes, and got the requisite number of Comic cards, AS cards, and Artifex. Of these, I only had 2 duplicates: CZ7 and GK16. Not too bad!
10 Different autos: A12 ltd A13 ltd A19 A20 A22 A24 A28 A29 A35 A39 v. ltd
And, in 5 boxes, I got 4 Sketches!!! -The Alternative Factor by Carroney -Tomorrow is Yesterday, by Miller -The Return of the Archons by Krieger and -Space Seed by Martineck!
Not bad, overall! Thanks, Lynne!

Case topper sketch: Tricorder
Overall, Rittenhouse did a nice job with this one. However, you would think that with 30 autographs you might not get so many duplicates, let alone 2 different Triplcates. Still not completely sold on the animated format of the auto cards, but the addition of a regular photo on the back was a nice touch.
It is also interesting that the sketches are all in a row on the online checklist.
1 base set Artifex Card: CZ3 (Amok Time) Expanded Universe: # 9 (Chekov), 25 (Mirror Spock), 34 (Mugato) Comic Book Cards: GK 6, 16, 33, 44, 51, 61 Autos: A19 BarBara Luna (Marlena Moreau) A37 Kate Woodville (Natira) limited No Sketch Card
I am a little bit disappointed that I did not get a sketch card, but for that I got good autos. I have to say that I love this set. The base set cards are so nice and lovely done. The chase cards are also very cool (especially the Artifex Cards) and John Czop has done a great job !!!

I know and I'm not complaining about it. But I still hoped for it... I think I will try my luck with a second box.

I'm awaiting delivery of 6 boxes so I'm hoping for at least 3 sketches. I also had dreams of pulling both a Montalban and a Collins auto but from the previous breakdowns it would appear there in only 1 V.Ltd per case.
I can still hope for one though.

I managed to get the complete 30 card auto set from 3 cases and even got the Joan Collins & Nimoy in the same box, so there are good cases out there

Paul,
any chance you can post a piccie of you case sketch card when you get a chance???
Same goes for everyone if they can?? I would love to see what Martineck Sketch cards every one has got!!
Originally posted by RupT: GReedy sod..... i want one too!!!
22 of the buggers???
No joke - I've been tracking ebay auctions and while I'm certain to have missed a few, I've seen one bidder win 22 via auction or buy-it-now. He/she must have some extra cash and REALLY like the cards. I can't blame him/her as I wouldn't mind having more
