Exactly, I can't make the $150 to $200 box price work for me. Just don't see the value holding up and the secondary market will give me what I want without the gamble for much cheaper. There are quite a few cool looking cards in this title and I get it, if you really loved the show there is an impulse to jump. For me the show was just good but not great. Having been recently burned on a couple of Star Wars boxes I am forcing my patience.  Based on the checklist you need a box and a half just to get a base set. Most of the subsets aren't practical to collect, you just kind of settle with what you get. It takes a case to complete the two lower parallel sets provided no duplicates. I think I count at least 3 subsets that need 10 cases to complete and one requires 20. Given the low auto and sketch odds I can't shake the feeling that UD cranked out quite a bit of this. On the upside, if you do pull an autograph the odds are good it wont be a dud. |

True, but I think for the same $2500 a case cost you could buy 1 autograph from each person signing and still have plenty of funds left to buy other stuff. |

Got 3 boxes and hit a Kat Denning’s autograph card plus a couple of rare chase, along with 4 Film Cel cards. It’s a really great release, and frankly, no worse than any Star Wars release out there, or anything Topps to be more specific.
I grabbed a box because I love the show. I was not so lucky. I did not get a 1 a box insert and got one of the 1:180 foil cards as my second hit. Oh, well, The cards are nice though. |
