Would it be safe to say that costume cards will be more common than sketch & autos .

I wonder if autos will be more common than sketches?

I also presume that sketches and costumes will be more common than autographs.

Me think so too. What I am confident is that hitting 1 main cast auto in a case would go a long way in recouping the cost of the case itself.

I think it will be the same amount of sketches as autographs. 2 of each per case, then 4 costume cards to fill it out.

That is what I am hoping as well 2/2/4 but I think it will be more like 1.5/1.5/5, basicly you will get two sketches/1 auto or 1 sketch/2 autos per case

There are approx 3000 sketches which allows for 1500 cases if they do 1.5 per case that leaves a good amount left over for replacements and such.

We have tremendous news regarding our Heroes Season One Trading Cards product!

Topps has just acquired the show-worn costumes that will be used to create the memorabilia cards. See the attached flyer which shows Claire Bennet’s cheerleader sweater, Matt Parkman’s police shirt, Hiro Nakamura’s jacket and Isaac Mendez’s painting shirt. The memorabilia cards, as well as autograph cards and artist sketch cards are only found in the hobby product – as they are all hobby exclusive! More information on the autograph checklist and product insert ratios will be conveyed as soon as it is available.

Hmm...costume cards selection sounds interesting...

I suspect that the cheerleader costume card wind up being the most expensive one. Everyone will want that card.

Could this become one the biggest selling costume cards in non-sports??

I like the idea of Isaacs shirt think of all the color paint splat variations. But is just those 4 costumes?? Maybe the costumes won't be as common after all...

I ordered two cases.... I am REALLY hoping for a good mix of autos, costumes, and sketches.

Got this in an e-mail this morning from Topps. Thought you guys would like to see:

Has there been any definitive answer as to the type of autograph cards will be used? I haven't heard if the autographs will be on the actual cards or on stickers.

I'd love to get these cards, but autographs on stickers is a deal-breaker for me.

I would love to pull a Clare sweater variant with part of the school's emblem

Earlier in the thread somebody quoted Topps saying that there will be sticker autographs

Unless these four are the only show worn costumes and the others are not. God I'm so cynical.

But I do think you'd get a fair few costume cards out of the shirts and jacket.

If so, then I'll not be buying any cards.

(Yes, I hate band-aid autographs THAT much. )

They are stickers. Topps stated at SDCC that they would be 100%.

I hope they can get their hands on more costumes...Unless that means we will have "Material used in the making of"

Which would suck more than sticker autographs. Also, yeah I agree...the Claire costume will be sought after for sure...but just think what the school logo swatches will bring in!

I have already ordered my boxes knowing full-well that there are sticker autographs in this set. I want this set & I'd like the autographs of the cast. I don't much see the point of cutting off my nose to spite my face.

You pay your money you take your choice. At least Topps aren't trying to mislead us. So far they have been totally upfront about what's going in this set. Now all they have to do is get the release on schedule!

Great costumes for the memorabilia cards. I'm already looking forward to this.

Same. I dont care if the autograph stickers because I'm more interested in collecting the set and if that's the way the manufacturer chooses to deliver it so be it.

Boy, am I glad that I ordered 2 cases before the price increases.....Topps seems to be releasing info earlier for this set.
