I'm collecting both...I'm down to Sean Bean and Peter Dinklage to wrap the set up. It may be a few weeks before I am able to pick those two up though.

I like both versions although I generally have liked the images used on the full bleed more than the ones used on the bordered.

I'm really digging these autograph cards, so I will take either layout, but in general I prefer full bleeds. Just seems like a larger picture to me.

The only issue I have with a few full bleed autographs in various RA products is when the photo is carelessly cropped to make room for the signature area and it detracts from the look of the card.

I'm collecting both Bordered and Full Bleed, I think both have their merits.
And I'm aiming for a master set too, and through picking up most upper end ones on the bay and pre-ordering those couple of lower end ladies, I only need 5 left to go and they're only upper end ones thankfully.
If anyone has a spare Esme Bianco FB, Aiden Gillen Bordered, Conleth Hill Bordered or both FB and Bordered versions of Miltos Yerolemou I'd love to trade!

Just bought a set of the 6 shadowbox & looking for a recommendation for a seller of suitable pages. Can anyone recommend a UK seller for pages?

Rob-

I highly recommend Ultra-Pro 8 pocket pages. They are slightly bigger than 9's and the pockets are arranged in a landscape orientation which is perfect for the shadowbox cards.

As for finding them in the UK that might be the trick.

Thanks Ed, just bought 10 pages on auction site for £4.50 all in, Will LYK when they arrive

Hey Ed, you're a star! 8 page Ultra Pro is just the job! I now have several sheets for future sets!

Thanks again,

Rob

Thanks! I think they look awesome in the 8-pocket pages myself.

I helps that I have stock of every page Ultra-Pro makes, so I can reference any page to find the right ones.

I will have to have a look at these at the Philly show

Rittenhouse put this on Twitter 3 hours ago:

Rose Leslie (Ygritte) & Natalie Dormer (Margaret Tyrell) are signing for this upcoming set.

That's six new signers for the set revealed so far. Ian Glen,Sophie Turner, Gethin Anthony & Natalia Tena were revealed last year on RA's forums.

Hopefully we get more than just the 'D' from Natalie this time...

Yay! they got Rose Leslie to sign. Hopefully she will sign for Downton then as well

Rittenhouse just put up more info about the set:

All of the autograph samples are full bleed. I would hope they are still doing both bordered and full bleed, especially since I only collected bordered for the first set (I liked them a lot more) and would like to do the same for this set.

Are you sure? Maybe they just pictured fb cards...

Doesn't matter to me, since I collect only the ones which picture I like best anyway...

The preview in the latest NSU shows a bordered version of the Sansa/Sophie Turner autograph so I'd think so

I was torn in the season 1 set; I thought the bordered design was nicer but, in general, I thought the image choice for each of the actors was better for the full bleed versions, after seeing the new Lena/Emilia/Dinklage autos I think i'll just go for those rather than the season 1 versions i've missed

Rittenhouse just posted the signers and all I can say is "Holy Cow!" Looks like I am gonna go broke this year.

Definitely excited. Could someone post that bordered Sophie Turner? I hope they release both versions of all the cards in this set, but I think they won't. Probably will have to wait for some of the bordered autos to be released in the Season 3 set.

Still, very excited. 25 new signers plus relics so far? Cool!

With 35 signers already (at least 18 boxes for a complete run, if you're lucky!), I'm kinda hoping they DON'T duplicate the cards with border/full-bleed for each! Not sure I could afford it!

Don't get me wrong, I'd find a way to afford it, but still!
