Sorry about that. I guess I was thinking of variant as in 'different pw card as a whole' not variant as in 'different pw from the original'.

I never knew that it could get so confusing. I'll be more careful next time.

Congratulations on your success here, but isn't this an e-bay find, or did you just purchase 36 loose packs from an online store?

My daughter came home yesterday with 5 packs of High School Musical that she picked up at Target.
She ended up with 1 glitter sticker, 1 felt sticker and a costume card with a piece of Troy's uniform that Zac Efron wore in the 2nd movie. I had to hurry and put it in a top loader before she drooled all over it! Drool Needless to say, she was quite thrilled!

I bet your daughter was thrilled Greg!

My children are a bit young for this sort of thing, but I suppose it's only a matter of time.
At least I hope so. Wink

Went into my local card shop last Friday and picked up the last four packs of Serenity that they had. Pulled the redemption card for the Chiwetel Ejidfor auto. It's a pretty good pick-up considering the Serenity autos hardly show up on Ebay. Cool!

That's a great result. Just got into Firefly & Serenity myself recently & trying to get a collection together & know how hard it is to get those autos. Well done. Thumb Up

Thanks! Come to think of it, I have been pretty lucky pulling some cool autos. From loose packs Iv'e gotten Elisha Dushku, Evil Trio, Holly Marie Combs/Brian Krause, Emma Caulfield and Tia Carrere (baseball packs). Knock on wood!! Hope the luck doesn't run out!!

Eek a Holly Marie Combs/Brian Krause auto??

I'm glad for you, of course, but I'm also very envious of you!

I knew about the Dushku but the double auto? You are surrounded by lucky charms!!

Again, thanks! It's cool to know that I can go to my local card shop and not worry that the box of packs were cherry picked before they are put out to sell. They may not carry everything non-sports but every time I buy packs I know there's a chance of pulling an auto or pieceworks card. That's why I keep giving them repeat business. Also, totally forgot to mention that I pulled an Allison Mack auto from loose packs! DUH!!

Congrats ianyoshio! Thumb Up Incredibly rare odds that you'd pull both the Sam auto card and Sam Pieceworks together from an opened box! Eek
