I bought 3 boxes total. The first 2 boxes were sequentially numbered from the same dealer while the third is from another dealer and it is a thousand numbers off.
Box 1: 2 base sets 3 Players 3 Montage 8 Relationships Auto Joel Brooks Auto Beverly Todd Auto Michael C. Hall
Box 2: 2 base sets 3 Players (2 were doubles ) 3 Montage (ALL were doubles ) 8 Relationships (one was a double) Auto Joel Brooks (again) Auto Ed O'Ross Auto Joanna Cassidy
I dunno, I'm a bit new to Rittenhouse (I got 1 box of Women of Bond in Motion last year) so I guess I was surprised to get burned on the doubles in sequentially numbered cases. Maybe this was common ?
Either way, I still scored some WAY COOL autos, 4 of my top 5 choices in fact ! (Hall, Todd, O'Ross, and Cassidy) Of course, Krause is my top pick.
Box 3: 2 base sets 3 Players, all of them useful to me 3 Montage, all of them useful to me 8 Relationships, all of them useful to me Auto David Norona Auto Tim Maculan Auto Michael C. Hall (yes, again ! )
I also bought the Album with Auto Marina Black exclusive.This message has been edited. Last edited by: xSaBx,

The boxes are *not* packed up in sequential order.
I'm also not sure it's duplication per se, unless you're getting the same card 3 times in one box. It sounds as if each box broke down correctly - however, I've been known to be wrong.
But, then again, they are called 'trading' cards

welcome to cardtalk caesar I don't think the breakdown was too bad, sometimes two boxes work out like that if they are sequentially numbered or thousands apart. Put your doubles up for trade and I'm sure you'll get the one's you need.

Thanks Hammer ! Hey, believe me I have NO complaints, just surprises. Thanks for the info.
Over_Worked_Mom, thanks for the info regarding the number sequences. I guess I assumed that those 2 boxes came out of production back to back so I thought maybe I would get all different chase cards.
You're right, the boxes DID break down correctly and believe me, I have no complaints. Like I said, I pulled 4 of my top 5 autos ! ! !
Molly Parker would have been top 5 for me but they couldn't get her into the set but at least they put a note in the box telling me that.

Very nice boxes, once you get sorted and want to do some trading please check out my post over in the Card Trading section. And let me know if you are going to sell that extra Michael C. Hall card.....
In short I need 4 inserts, and 5 pack-pullable autographs to complete the set. My updated trading lists are posted both in the trading forum, and as always on my trading site (address in my signature).
Picked up a box hoping for a Joanna auto and no luck. My box yielded...
sets:2 M:2,6,8 PL:1,2(1/2 inch scratch over the HBO logo on back),5 R:1,5,10,12,16,18,22,26 autos: Rusty Schwimmer Aysia Polk Aysia Polk

It says two per box on the boxes, but they actually gurantee three per beause of some changes when they came out. But 4 in my first one beat the odds no matter what Happy with my autos, two limited and 6 others. The two dupes is to live with since the boxes were cheap and I got Krause
