Picked up a box today from my local shop Base cards 100 card base set missing 10 cards.But I did get 18 duplicates Chase Sets 6 Locations cards (of 9?) 6 Walkers, 2 of which were duplicates 12 Character cards 6 of which were duplicates 2 parallels 1 Rust (8/99) 1 Mold (11/25) 2 hits are guaranteed per box 1 Walker relic (4/25) 1 Sasha Williams relic (65/99) My thought on these. I was optimistic when Topps took over WD from CZE. They did not improve Cryptozoic's product. For considerably less money you would receive a full set, an autograph and a relic from CZE. The cards themselves are nicely done, as one would expect from Topps, I like that parallels are to a minimum and numbered, and of all the chase sets, the Characters are really beautifully done.This message has been edited.

Sounds like you got the more common box that contains two relics and no autograph. I don't understand why you would not have at least a complete base set though. If there are 18 base duplicates, how can it be short ten base cards? Well I know how, but the why escapes me?  Are some of the base cards short printed? No, I don't think I've read that.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Raven, | |||

Yes, I had read the other thread about how it was hard to find autos. I was resigned to getting this box because my local dealer had gotten it for me. I don't know why the boxes are so expensive either. I have seen $90, I paid $95 for mine. A nice auto would have made that acceptable. Let's see how others do, the lack of a complete set and duplicates of many of the chase are really bad. | |||

Tough box Don, a base set at least is what you want. | |||

I purchased one box of this. Here is what I pulled out of the box: 1 base set 1 Rust parallel card #97 numbered 34/99 1 Mud parallel card #56 numbered 08/50 12 Character cards 6 Locations cards 6 Walkers cards 1 Walker relic card 1 autograph card, Corey Brill as Pete Anderson numbered 77/99 I think it was a pretty good box considering some of the other comments that I have read. I didn't have any duplicates among the Character, Locations or Walkers cards. I am happy that the autograph is on card and not a sticker. I hope Topps continues with that choice. | |||

Today I stopped by my local shop to pick up some packs. I got 4 James Bond and 2 Walking Dead. Before I paid, my dealer mentioned that one of the other customers had left a stack of cards for me. He buys a box and sells the hits on eBay, and sometimes he gives me the rest. He gave me a stack of Walking Dead, so for a minute I considered putting the 2 WD packs back, since the cards I still needed were most probably in the stack, but at the last minute, I decided to just get them. Good thing - inside one of the packs an auto from Steven Yeun (Glenn Rhee)! Completed my base set, plus the Character subset and most of the Location and Walker cards. Then from the Bond packs, pulled another auto, Andy Bradford as 009. | |||
