It's actually some filler card from one of the uncut sheets, no doubt!

I pulled one of those too, and wondered wth it was lol.

Here's hits from my 2nd case overall very happy, especially with Mercer's Zatanna!

Do you know who drew the Darkseid sketch? It is amazing.

I thought it is amazing too! Even better than the Zatanna imo.

Yes it's Stevlic. Thank you guys for the kind words. It is up on eBay, with a tempting offer already. I love my Zatanna, that may stay in my pc though. I wish I would have opened a redemption though.

Cryptozoic have added a Redemption Card Checklist to the Product Details area on their DC 52 page for anyone wanting to know which artist they have pulled, though not which sketch:

I am pretty sure this would just be a test card. typically in 4 color print runs you have the last "area" for a run that just fills in the colors. Then a computer can check as it passes to make sure all 4 colors are completely filled in. If they are not then it make it easy to know where the problem started so they can remove the bad cards. I have even seen this done on toilet paper packaging.

It is strange they left these in, but didn't put in the printing plates.

Here is my first case break. I'm short one sketch at the moment which wasn't too good. Artists only as I haven't a clue who most of the characters are:

Ana Sanchez, Dan Gorman, Dave 'Pops' Tata
Jezreel Rojales, Kevin Gentilcore, Mat Nastos
Matthew Minor, Michael 'Locoduck' Duron, Patrick Gerrity
Rich Molinelli, Todd Allen Smith

Finally arrived in Australia. Opened 2 cases. I think Cryptozoic have done a great job on the base and inserts. They also appear to have fixed the collation problems. The sketches need a couple of extra mid range and a couple fewer low end, but overall not bad. I am happy with the high end sketches and the mid range sketches I got. Here's the break in the order I opened them:

Lanterns 6 8, WIP 5 7, Ciccone Flamebird
Lanterns 2 8, WIP 1 5, Nastos Deadman
Lanterns 4 5, WIP 2 8, Woodall Green Arrow
Lanterns 3 4, WIP 2 6, Pennington Kid(?) Flash
Lanterns 6 9, WIP 4 7, Duron GL Guy Gardner
Lanterns 1 7, WIP 3 9, Legan Zatanna?
Lanterns 4 5, WIP 6 9, Beaty Firestorm puzzle
Lanterns 1 9, WIP 3 4, Gentilcore Kid Flash
Lanterns 2 5, WIP 1 8, Dietrich Smith Nightwing
Lanterns 3 7, WIP 6 9, DeJarnette Flash
Lanterns 6 8, WIP 5 7, Kasinger Frankenstein
Lanterns 3 7, WIP 6 9, Glendenning Darkseid

First case keepers are the Ciccone and the Firestorm puzzle, possibly also the Pennington.




Lanterns 3 7, WIP 6 9, Kasinger Deadman
Lanterns 1 9, WIP 3 4, Phillips Black Canary
Lanterns 2 4, WIP 2 8, Gentilcore Aquaman
Lanterns 2 8, WIP 1 5, Kardash Wonder Woman
Lanterns 6 9, WIP 4 7, Glebe Superman vs Darkseid
Lanterns 3 4, WIP 2 6, Martin Superboy
Lanterns 1 7, WIP 3 9, Kadar Superman
Lanterns 2 5, WIP 1 8, Woodall Martian Manhunter
Lanterns 6 8, WIP 5 7, Nastos Massacre
Lanterns 1 9, WIP 3 4, Molinelli Shade
Lanterns 6 8, WIP 5 7, Gerlach Supergirl
Lanterns 2 5, WIP 1 8, Torian Deadman

Second case keepers are the Kasinger, Kardash and Glebe, and possibly Phillips.

Latest pulls. Just waiting for two boxes from Miss Lizzy to see if there's enough there for a master set, or if the redemption gets sold. Favourite here is the Lak Lim with the insane detail in such a small space. Special mention to Ted Dastick Jr. for the puzzle yet another superb case

Nice pulls Graham!!

Congrats on a good case. There is something very positive I notice on these breaks, the fact that You get the puzzle cards in the same case, did You even get them in the same box?

Great Cases

Nice, that's the only puzzle I did for this set.

That Lak Lim is insane!!

The puzzle was in the one pack with base cards. They were in a penny sleeve.
