Nice box Lesley! A pieceworks and a Marsters! Wow! I thought my box was good.

Rich

I had confirmation today that my local store is getting a box in for me ASAP.

I do not buy a whole box, just packs , as it is cheaper.

I will LYK how I get on.....
Chris

Got three more boxes tonight, including a big surprise. Boxes are listed in reverse order, so I can save the surprise for last. (No fair peaking!)

Box # 4170
BL3
AR-1 for A5 K.D. Aubert as Slayer Nikki Wood (2nd one. Up for trade.)
PR-1 for Angel Costume Card (2nd one. For trade as well.)
SB1
SB6
HS1
HS2
HS9

Box # 4168
BL1
A6 Kali Rocha as Cecily Adams
PR-1 for Buffy Costume Card
SB4
SB6
HS2

Box # 4166
BL2
A9 James C. Leary as Clem
PR-1 for Angel Costume Card (3rd one!)
SB3
SB4
SB5
HS6
HS7 x2
HS8

and the big surprise...

PALz-17 - a PALz figure card featuring everyone's favorite red-headed Wiccan,
Willow Rosenberg! How did it get in there? Where did it come from? Why was
it in a pack of Spike cards? I dunno. But am I complaining? (Forgive me ladies...)
Alyson Hannigan is a major babe, so I love it!

Seriously, though, the Buffy PALz figure line is only in series one, so I'd love to find out where this card was actually supposed to go. (Series Two? Series Three?) Opening that pack was the coolest thing in the world, as the card was the first thing I saw and caused a great "what the..." eye bulge moment. Inkworks, if you read this, please give us the scoop.

Totals over nine boxes:

22 Base Sets plus a ton of extras
2 Spike & Buffy sets plus several extras
3 complete box loader sets (edge damage to two cards)
1 Heart & Soul puzzle set (missing HS3 for a second set)
7 of 10 autographs with 2 doubles
3 of 4 pieceworks cards with 2 duplicates of one
Boris Vallejo autograph card
PALz figure redemption
1 Mystery PALz card

Bearing in mind that all boxes came from the same case, there was a bit of a snag with the "Heart & Soul" cards, apparently, as I have now bought two boxes that did not meet the correct ratios (one box with one card, one box with zero.) There sure are a lot of Spike & Buffy SB1's and SB6's, but maybe the other three boxes in the case got SB2's and SB5's to even things out. Overall, it's still a great set, although it's somewhat disturbing that the dealer I buy from sells at a major collectibles show and I am the only one who has bought any boxes so far.

Has anyone other than dealers pulled a "Buffy-version" autographed Spike coat card yet?

Post a pic up, we need to see the mystery card!!! Great pulls btw!!

It seems some of the series 2 PALz cards, to be released in April with the new figures, were(accidentally?) inserted into the spike cards. Someone also found a #10 on another board i post on.

Nice boxes mark

Thanks, Jenny. We'll have to get togethor via e-mail and see if I can help you out with a few of my extras.

Sorry, Pete. No scanner, although maybe this will finally make me go out and buy one, although after spending all the money on Spike cards this month, I doubt my bank account will let me.

And there are still three boxes left from my dealer's case. Wonder if one of them contains a James Marsters autograph? Hmm.

As speculated above, the "mystery card" is one that will be included with the upcoming Palz Buffy Series Two figures, which are scheduled for release in April. The Palz cards were printed at the same time as Spike: The Complete Story and, apparently, some accidently made their way into packs. Although it wasn't an intentionally inserted bonus card, enjoy the surprise that you found.

here is the breakdown from my three cases

Heart & Soul 11 sets plus 17
Spike & Buffy 11 sets plus 9
Case cards 3

Drusilla 5
Darla 3

Soul Demon 3
Clem 5 (4 normal + 1 red)
Pavayne 3

Think I did well <lol>

Dave

They are some great cases!

If you live in the U.K and are sending off for the pw redemption do you put in a reply coupon or not?

Deena and Dave, great pulls!! you've put my case to shame!!
Kim, you just have to send the card in, Inkworks will take care of the rest. To save spoiling the redemption card, i put my details on a post it note and stick that to the card, then into a sleeve/toploader. That way you can display the card without writing!

Cheers Boggle.

I like this stuff much more than I expected I would and regretted only getting 2 boxes so I picked up another one which I just cracked.

Box Loader- None
Heart and Soul- HS6,HS7,HS9
Spike and Buffy- SB2, SB3
Autograph- A10, Pavayne (only 1 I really didn't want)
Pieceworks- PR-1, Buffy coat version
---------------------------------------------------------

It's funny that I traded my extra Angel PW redemption for someone's extra Buffy version and shortly after she pulls an Angel and now I pull a Buffy. The card gods cam be mischievous little minxes.
