Yes, I would say that's a very good box CongratsSmile

I wonder if there are as many David autos as there are Gillian, so far I've seen more Gillian autos around.

Chris,
Does David's autograph show-up better in person than it does on the scan?
July 29, 2008, 01:29 PM
Chris Byrne
Thanks Big Grin

Arvin, yes it does.
I'm using the office computer with a 7 yr old screen, so the brightness is shot. I'll take a picture w/ a camera and show it. Smile

I got my box today. The hits:



I also got one Back to Basics cads (BB-2), two In Search Of cards (S-5, S-6), and one Wanting to Believe card (WB-3).

I bought two costume cards from this set off of ebay. One should be here by the end of this week and the other early next week. I'll scan the cards when I get them. Not sure if I'll buy more boxes. Maybe if I can get one for around $30.

I won't post the gory details box by box, just a summary

Wanting to Believe: 1 set, 3 short of second, lots of #5

In Search Of: NO Set Eek Missing #3, 3 short for 2nd set, LOTS of #5 and #6

Pieceworks:
PWR-1 Father Joe's Coat
PW-1 Mulder's Jacket
PW-4 Drummy's Shirt
PW-5 Father Joe's robe
PW-7 Skinner's Shirt
PW-8 Scully's Scrubs Bottoms and Labcoat Dual Clap

Autographs (in the order I pulled them):
A-7 Chris Owens as The Great Mutato
A-5 Xzibit as Special Agent Drummy
A-9 Nestor Serrano as Ken Naciamento
A-9 Nestor Serrano as Ken Naciamento
A-8 Sheila Larken as Margaret Scully
A-6 Adam Godley as Father Ybarra
A-8 Sheila Larken as Margaret Scully
A-3 Chris Carter, director/writer Smile
A-1 David Duchovny as Fox Mulder Bouncey

Collation was terrible on the chase, but who can argue after the autos were pulled? Dance

I want to thank UPS for picking the case for me. I always take the case that's the most beat up for myself, rather than sending out beat up boxes to customers. Thumb Up

Wow, I didn't expect a David and Gillian Auto in the same case, that really makes it worth itSmile I was going to get a case originally however without knowing the odds of the David and Gillian autos, I didn't want to risk paying $700 plus on a case if I still had to buy the two autos.
Nice case break. I wonder where all the case breakers are, I know Inkworks is already sold out, so its not like they couldn't sell them.
I ended up buy two boxes just because I wanted to open an X-Files product, which I haven't done so farSmile

Here's my obligatory two boxes. Nothing quite as lucky as some other people's big pulls, but I guess I get my share.

I don't know whether it was because Inkworks was short of good images from the movie or if it was "by design", but I like the "Revelations" subset in the base cards that ties the action back to prophetic plot points from series episodes. Boxes hold 24 packs of 7 cards; expect 2.24 base sets of 72 if collation were perfect. 10 boxes per case. Cards not found in boxes or by redemption include the CL-1 caseloader, PW-14A and PW-14B puzzle pieceworks (3-case purchase incentives), Duchovny/Anderson dual autograph card (10-case incentive), and promos XF-1 (general), X-i (internet), and XF-SDCC (Comicon 2008 but also found in packs).

BOX 1

Base cards (72): 2 complete sets, 14 threes, 1 four
In Search Of Foil Puzzle Cards (9, 1:11 packs): S-1 S-9
Wanting to Believe Embossed Cards (6, 1:17 packs): WB-4 WB-5
Back to Basics Foil Cards (3, 1:24 packs): BB-3
Autograph Cards (9, 1:24 packs): A-6 Adam Godley as Father Ybarra
Pieceworks Cards (13, 1:24 packs): PW-1 Jacket worn by David Duchovny as Fox Mulder

BOX 2

Base cards (72): 2 complete sets, 10 threes, 4 fours
In Search Of Foil Puzzle Cards (9, 1:11 packs): S-7 S-8
Wanting to Believe Embossed Cards (6, 1:17 packs): WB-3
Back to Basics Foil Cards (3, 1:24 packs): BB-2
Autograph Cards (9, 1:24 packs): A-5 Xzibit as Special Agent Drummy
Pieceworks Cards (13, 1:24 packs): Redemption for PW-6 Coat worn by Billy Connolly as Father Joe

This is my first full case from Inkworks. I had hoped to pull ONE limited auto from the case, but I was STUNNED to pull BOTH. Excellent case.





Also got a redemption card for a Connolly pieceworks (image not scanned).

I think this was definitely by design since the episodes correspond to those on the X-files DVD "Revelations" that was just released. Chris Carter put the DVD episodes together as a primer of great stand alone episodes from the series. Although, I wouldn't consider the Pilot and Memento Mori stand alones. In any case I agree that this is a very cool feature of the set.
