OK, now that I have watched all but the last episode of season 3...we need set information! There are more than a few of my fellow Chicago area dealers (sport and non) who are big fans.

Oy! Cryptozoic. Why don't I just start having my paychecks mailed to you?

My wife just started watching and watched all 3 seasons in 3 weeks. Huge cast so an auto list is well...Gulp!

I hear your pain. This show has become my new favorite and I am only 1/2 way through season 2. I would love costume cards - period costumes are so lovely.

Unless Crypt already got some signatures, I am wondering if they will be able to get the actors that played Sybil and Matthew, since those characters were already killed-off, when those two actors wanted to leave the show. They were main characters. Seems like the producers would have "no clout" in getting those two actors to sign since they are no longer under contract

I've read that Siobhan Finneran ("Sarah O’Brien") has left the cast too and won't be in Season 4.

I definitely wouldn't count Jessica Brown Findlay and Dan Stevens out. Cryptozoic may still be able to get them to sign for the Seasons 1, 2, and 3 sets (or Seasons 1 & 2, however they are doing it).

I wasn't so much counting them out, but just thinking that they may be "rare" since they may have to be paid whatever their agents are asking, since they are no longer under contract.

I'll be very surprised and shocked if Cryptozoic can get Dan Stevens to sign, as from interviews I have read he wants as little to do with the show as possible now, and I don't blame him at all since he did want to leave.

I understand Dan wanted to leave the show but I think alot of it was twisted and stirred up by the media.

He was happy enough and kind enough to sign two Downton pics I sent him while he was in "The Heiress" in New York.

At the end of the day he also trades out on DA to get work and himself noticed so to refuse signing for the set would be churlish...

According to Previews this releases August 28 and includes sketch cards featuring the actors' likenesses. I think this set is going to be fantastic. I just pre-ordered 2 cases and can't wait! Here's the link:

I would assume that the sketches will fall about 1 per case like The Walking Dead, especially if they are gunning for top-line photorealistic artists.

Shoot not another July release that I MUST have. I need to kick my frugality up several notches. Is it wrong to hope this gets delayed so I have more time to save? Period costumes

I was wondering if anyone knows the current release date for this? Is it still August 28th?

I sure hope they bolster that auto lineup.

All but 2 of them have appeared in all 31 episodes (according to imdb - I don't watch the show). One of the remaining 2 in 25 of 31 episodes.
Surely that's a damn good line-up of regulars.

The only ones I really want (of those listed) are Michelle Dockery (Susan in Hogfather) and Phyllis Logan (Lady Jane in Lovejoy).

"all but two" = 6 autographs, lol. they need to get more and specifically the stars. i am not worried - there is a lot of time still, but just sayin'...

Those look pretty nice. I have not gotten into the show yet but I know alot of people who love it.

The two big autographs to get are Maggie Smith and Shirley Maclaine.

Of the signers show, you got a nice mix of the "Downstairs" cast. It is the "upstairs" cast that is really missing.
Saying this, Mr. Castle is the auto I wanted the most, so I am set.

Lots of images posted of the autographs:

And they just announced Jessica Brown Findlay/Lady Sybil and Allen Leech/Tom Branson will be signing. This set is rounding out nicely. Only 6 "major" characters left to sign -- Robert, Cora, and Isobel Crawley, the Dowager, Matthew, and Bates. Shirley MacLaine wouldn't be signing until the next set as she didn't appear on the show until season 3. The only one I'm pessimistic about them getting to sign is Matthew.
