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?

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.
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.

I got two cases. I worried about buying them because I was sure that I'd never pull the cards I needed. I've never had very good luck with cards. But, I keep trying. This time, I got lucky! I'm still in shock.
Box 3322: BL3 HS1, HS8, HS9 SB1, SB2 A1 (James Marsters) And practically the last pack of the entire case: APR1 (Autographed Angel PW) I was shaking!!!
Total for Case 1: 3 Box Loader Sets + BL3 (2) BL2 (1) 3 Sets Spike + Buffy + SB1 (2), SB2, SB3, SB4, SB6 (2) 3 Sets Heart & Soul + HS1, HS2 (2), HS3 (2), HS4, HS6, HS7 (2), HS8 (2), HS9 1 BV1 1 Case Loader 1 PALZ redemption card 1 Autographed PW for Angel 2 PW for Buffy 3 PW for Angel 9 Autos (or redemptions) -- no Pavayne + 1 Julie Benz and 2 James Marsters
Case 2: Box 3350: BL1 SB1, SB2 HS7, HS8, HS9 A9 (James Leary: Black Ink -- all of mine were black sharpie with just his signature)
Box 3353 (# worn off; but it should be right): BL1 SB1, SB2 HS6, HS7, HS8, HS9 PR1 (PW from Angel) APR1 (Autographed PW from Buffy) A1 (James Marsters) This was the best box ever!
Total for Case 2: 3 Box Loader sets plus BL1, BL2 (2) 3 Spike + Buffy sets plus SB1 (2), SB2 (2), SB3, SB5, SB6 1 BV1 Non PTR1 -- but, I wrote to Inkworks this afternoon and they responded saying that they'd take care of it. Sue is just terrific!!! 3 PW redemptions from Buffy 3 PW redemptions for Angel 1 Case Loader Card 1 Boris Auto Card 1 Autographed PW redemption for Buffy All autos except Pavayne plus extras for James Marsters, James Leary and Mercedes McNab
All in all, excellent luck this time. I just need to find a Pavayne card now.

My box yielded: BL2 Spike & Buffy 1, 2, 3. Puzzle 3, 4, 5, 6. Auto a9 black sharpie. No pieceworks I'll have to track one down later.
Went the extra mile on this set, and I think it paid off After my first case, I was only one card away from a master set, and I snagged it on the first box of the second case
here is the breakdown from my three cases
Hero's Journey 9 sets plus 8 individuals Heart & Soul 11 sets plus 17 Spike & Buffy 11 sets plus 9 Case cards 3 Artist signed cards 3 PALz redemption card 3 Costume redemption Angel 7 Buffy 8 Autographed Costume redemption Angel 1 Buffy 2 Autos (character) Spike 2 Drusilla 5 Darla 3 Harmony 4 Nikki Wood 3 Cecily Adams 4 Adam 4 Soul Demon 3 Clem 5 (4 normal + 1 red) Pavayne 3
Think I did well <lol>

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!

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.
