The JWC is number 0 in the Tarot deck subset he did and is entitled The Fool.
In first case, one box had an autograph and 2 sketches. Didn't get a Gold Foil parallel.
I'm not convinced I'd make my money back if decided to sell but I got some lovely sketches. Need to find Han, Luke and Ben sketches to go with the Leia, Chewy and R2 & C3PO ones. Favourite ones are the JWC and the portrait Tarkin by Sean Pence.
Of the box toppers, I got 2 blue borders (32,35) and the other 14 were all red border. I've 2 each of 67 and 75. No duplicates on the red foil parallels but one card has a nasty scratch on the back. Dupes of 75 and 64 on the blue foil parallels.

Hi, this is my first post although I've been reading the boards for a long time.
I opened up 1 hobby case and here are the results. The collation was a bit off but in my favor as I got 6 autographs and 4 sketches (2 boxes with 1 auto, 1 sketch).
The sketches that I got were absolutely incredible! I'd like to thank the artists for putting in so much time and effort to come up with these masterpieces. I finally got my first Cat Staggs sketch and it's awesome!

JR, I love that Chewie!!!
It's to bad that I've seen many posts about boxes without a sketch or an auto.......

Looks like everyone is opening a case - I just got one box.
I got a baseset minus 24 cards
a bunch of extra commons
Boxloader - 104
2 Blue foils - 88, 111
No red foil or gold foil
Puzzle cards - 7 each
No sketch
Autograph - John Williams
some thoughts - I had really wanted a sketch when I saw some of them that had been posted on Card Talk, butr I've also seen a lot of unspectacular sketches as well. Even though it's a sticker auto, I do like the Williams auto.
The puzzle cards are pretty lackluster. Whats the point of having them fit together like a jigsaw when they will mostly be put in 9 card sheets?
I would have liked to see better collation with this set. I was missing 24 cards, but I had a big stack of extras, with 2 extra of some.
On the plus side, the base cards are great, one of the best Star Wars sets ever. I also like the retro 70's cards with the foil stamp, a nice touch.
I'm not done with these, I'll be buying lots of packs, and maybe another box.
Good work on the great pulls some of you have been finding. Now - will one of you please pull a Harrison Ford auto!?

Opened 2 boxes:
2 base sets 2 box toppers (118, 124) 2 autos (Hagon & LeParmentier) 2 red foils (26, 97) 4 blue foils (3, 40, 55, 104) 16 puzzle cards
NOTE: The #118 box topper was completely "blank" on the back. Did this happen to anyone else?

Now, if you know a Friendly Dealerâ„¢ that stocks supplies, you might see if the 3 pocket pages for proof sheets would work to put all 3 puzzle pieces in. Might be too loose a fit, but I'll have to give it a try once I sort out my puzzle pieces.

OK.... Time to finish the opening of my 1st Case.
I stopped at 6 boxes (8/2/07):
Here's the breakdown:
Box 1: Topper: 181 Red Foil: 106 Blue Foil: 30, 45 Puzzle: 9 total AUTO: Lorne Peterson
Box 2: Topper: 105 Red Foil: 84 Blue Foil: 51, 64 Puzzle: 8 total SKETCH: Leia by Sean Pence1:1,640
Box 3: Topper: 195 Red Foil: 108 Blue Foil: 3, 12 Puzzle: 8 total AUTO: Carrie Fisher1:6,561 (The box is not done......then Gold Foil: #92 (27/30) 1:287 Gold Foils are every other case (1:12 boxes).
Box 4: Topper: 50 Red Foil: 33 Blue Foil: 46, 59 Puzzle: 8 total SKETCH: Luke by Sean Pence1:1,640 then Gold Foil: #12 (10/30) 1:287
Box 5: Topper: 195 (duplicate) Red Foil: 84 Blue Foil: 51, 64 Puzzle: 8 total SKETCH: Obi-wan by Robert Teranishi
Box 6: Topper: 136 Red Foil: 60 Blue Foil: 13, 113 Puzzle: 8 total SKETCH: Sand Person by Fabbri
Now ... I actually thought I would be done with the case. I figure I got everything major and all would be left were autos. Trade/sell the boxes, but I thought ... A Hot Case deserves finishing!

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS CASE!!!

No B.S. .... for all the bad cases I've read ... there had to be a Great one.
Enjoy!!!
