I wasn't very lucky with my break. While it would have been nice to complete at least one of the chase sets, I'm hoping I can trade for the ones I'm missing. The duplicate autograph was disappointing as I can't see a huge demand for it on the trade market. I was pleased with the selection of Pieceworks.

Buying three boxes was an experiment for me. Normally, I buy a single box of a set and then buy or trade for the chase I'm interested in. I was hoping that with more boxes I'd have a better chance at pulling one of the higher end cards. It's been a mixed result so far. Of course, it could be that my luck just sucks

I am more than pleased by this case. Getting the Kristen Bell auto in the next to last box was a little tense (but fun). I sent off the PW-6 (variation w/sequins) Redemption Card yesterday. When it arrives I'll post a photo.

wow, great case...and im jealous...you got to watch some playoff games. my ghetto cable company doesnt carry VS. /sigh...and i dont live in michigan anymore to pick up cbc, double /sigh.

My OTB Box Breakdown:


BL-3- Weevil
C7, C8, C9
J3, J4

2 Base sets with 22 extras.

PW-8. Ryan Hansen
A17. Krysten Ritter

Thankfully my auto and PW were both new. I now have A16- A21 surprisingly...I only need four autos to finish the set, but one of those is Kristen Bell- aargh...

This 5th box will probably be my last for VMars 2, but it was fun getting them and especially getting the Charisma Carpenter and the Enrico Auto'd PW in the same box.

Happy OTB Day!

Val

great case brian!

Way to go Brian A. Davis!

Of all the manufacturers, I always enjoy opening InkWorks products.

Unfortunately, my team (Toronto Maple Leafs) couldn't make the grade this year. I'm rooting for Calgary.

Thanks. I can't wait for my PW-6 variant to come back.

Unless I missed it, I haven't seen anyone mention receiving a redemprion card with their breakdowns. There have been four or five on the auction site, though.

Thanks for the applause. Right back at ya:

I'm thinking this set could be my first modern master set. Just five PWs (including the pink PW-9), and an auto PW card. I've got the sell sheet and binder on the way. The multi-case incentive came from the auction site.

Just busted a case and have to say it's the most dissapointing Inkworks case I have ever had ,.

I am too depressed to go into detail but the main points were

No Kristen Bell auto .

No Auto Pieceworks .

No Inkplates .

I may just stick to Strictly Ink products when buying cases in the future.They are the only one to guarantee a set of auto's.

that's really disappointing if you see the other case breaks posted here on the board.

well i got a case of this set after i ummed and ahhed about...lol

A12. KRISTEN BELL as VERONICA MARS!!!!

I have done extremely well with this product. My typical Inkworks streak usually would have ended up with me getting at least one repeat auto in six different boxes, but not so in this case. I am missing two of the PW cards I really wanted which were the Alyson Hannigan and the Charisma Carpenter, but I cannot complain since I have seven out of ten autos(surprisingly including what I think were two of the bigger draws for the set: Bell and Charisma Carpenter), one autographed PW and five regular PWs with my auto'd Carpenter PW coming soon.

I could use a Charisma inkplate though...LOL

Val

Congrats on the K. Bell Auto!

great catch

i just found out something odd. i knew i recognized the actress who played veronica mars. She used to serve me yogurt at the ice cream store next to the pizza hut in royal oak. small world.

That is wild, I cannot think of anyone famous now that I knew before they were stars, although i did go to high school with one guy who put out a comedy album recently and another that won one of the Amazing Races.

But back to the topic. I am wondering if I should get the other three autos in this set (Colantoni, Gallner, Daggs) along with nine of the ten autos that I need in the previous series(minus the Kristen Bell- since I now have one for this set and I don't think I want to shell out money for the A1) as I think I may start watching this show on DVD soon.

Maybe I should....most of the series 1 autos can be had fairly inexpensively.

Today I received my PW-6 from Inkworks. As promised here is the card with two sequins.



One thing I noticed is this card is using the Kristen Bell PW-1 sized window for the costume piece instead of the regular sized window. More pieces that way.
