Congrats on the Ford ztaylork!
After the debacle of my three dud Heritage boxes, I decided to give this set a chance based solely on the fact that I found a dealer on eBay selling boxes at a decent price.
I was more than pleasantly surprised to find I recieved a hot box.

Haven't collated the base cards yet, but I'm sure (or at least I hope) I got at least one complete set.
8 Foils: 1,2,5,6,7,8,9, and 10
2 Parallels: #20- 232/350 and #58- 118/350
1 Autograph: Karen Allen

1 Sketch: Agent Taylor by Ted Dastick Jr.

I feel really stupid for asking this since I drew it, but which character is Agent Taylor?

CordeliaChase_FanFourth box-
Decided to take a risk and grab a fourth Indy box today. Here's my results:
One Base Set
Parallel #9- 286/350
Foils- 2, 3, 4, 5
Autograph Card- Shia LaBeouf as Mutt Williams!
I had been tempted to pick up Shia's auto on eBay this past week and am glad I didn't. Definitely happy with the pull.

JakeHere is the scan of the retail auto for Igor Jijikine that I mentioned a few posts ago...
I scanned the front and back because I wasn't sure if the backs were different or not. My hobby boxes will be here tomorrow so then I'll hopefully find out for myself!

TheUberBobI picked up a box from work Wednesday:
1 Base Set
4 Foil Cards
Was worried I got a dud box then the bottom two packs yielded:
1 Gold Parallel
1 Sketch...Waterhouse

So I did get a dud box after all.

Thanks Don, I appreciate it. I was surprised too with the extra foils.
Also, thanks to actionman1 for the info on the sketch artist.

justmOne box opened last night.
7 cards short of a base set.

3 parallels
8 foils (all different)
1 very very bad sketch of a man - it could be anyone honestly.
In summary - I've opened 3 Indy boxes in a month. The two Heritage boxes didn't have a base set combined, and no base set here as well.
As my wife said "I don't know why you continue to buy this stuff from Topps - it's a bit of a con - so many people don't get close to value for money".
She may have a point.
