Surprised nobody has posted on these. I've been buying packs for the last three days, I wound up buying every pack in a box, finally found the sketch in the second to last pack.
24 packs per box.
Got one full set of 100 base cards, plus 7 extras
8 Purple foil parallels
2 Bronze foil parallels
1 Gold foil parallel, numbered 2/10 on base card #87

12 One Year Earlier cards, nicely done by Grant Gould
8 of 10 One Sheet Reimagined poster art cards by various artists
4 of 10 Mission Capture Skywalker with photos of various characters
1 autograph Matt Busch on card #86
1 Panoramic Sketch Princess Leia by Jessica Hickman

The base card art is nicely done by Matt Busch and Randy Martinez. The panoramic sketch folds in the middle, would like to see more use of all this space, since the nice headshot of Leia by Hickman could easily fit on a regular sized card. The one sheet reimagined posters are beautiful, and Grant Gould always does a nice job, the One Year Earlier set is pretty cool.A nice set.

I got pretty much the same as above inserts-wise, but no gold parallel and my artist autograph was Randy Martinez. Instead of a panorama, I got a Sketchagraph of Boba Fett by Ben Dunn, a popular anime artist. It's pretty nice and Bulloch's signature remains one of the nicest there are. The man takes pride in signing his name.
I'll post the picture tomorrow.

One more, and it had the regular inserts, a Martinez artist autograph, and this simple but effective Panorama sketch from Jessica Hickman.
