This looks like a hornless green hellboy with a cape.

Its the martian manhunter sketch done by Tone Rodriguez. His signature is quite easily recognisable.

Picked up a few boxes at the Chicagoland Expo. Great looking set overall.

Box 1:
=====
1 Base Set
1 DC Gallery: AR1
2 First Title Covers: FC1, FC7
4 Gold Parallel: 7, 17, 30, 40
0 Legendary Heroes
1 Sketch: Dan Borgonos [Robin]



Box 2:
=====
1 Base Set
1 DC Gallery: AR4
2 First Title Covers: FC5, FC8
4 Gold Parallel: 6, 22, 25, 48
1 Legendary Heroes: L4
1 Sketch: Uko Smith [Poison Ivy]

As a matter of interest, has anyone acquired an Archive box for this set yet? I understand there are 50 of them??

I've seen a lot of archive sketches hitting the bay but I've never seen an actual box.

I know 4 or 5 (maybe more) have sold. I don't think one has lasted more than an hour though. Most go in the first 10 minutes.

Here's about 3 or 4 archive boxes that were broke down:

I don't believe any were case pulls all were incentives (25 case buys).

Yeah, we sort of do frown on it. It's in the FAQ not to do so. Plus that member is a member here too, right? His breakdown might be duplicated above as well -- I haven't had a chance to compare but I know he's posted in this thread.

Thanks.

I already posted one archive box break in this thread...but heres a few more

#2

Archive box #3

Alright...here is box #4 I have 2 more archive boxes as well, one of which will be cracked tonight, and the other set aside for a rainy day...as the day can be pretty darned rainy and these fun boxes will brighten it right up So hopefully that satisfies some hunger to see some archive box breaks

That's a lot of archive boxes you've gotten your hands on. Were they all marked archive boxes or were some un-marked?

unbelievable 4 archive boxes

Yes, they were all marked archive boxes from dealers. I don't even think they put hidden ones out there this time, from what I am hearing. I will post #5 later tonight

Darn! your piggy bank MUST be skinnier than hell.

Good Sketches!!

You might be right. I just remember reading a post from Robert Kohlbus, that only 41 archive boxes were made. If you've got your hands on 6 of them, that's nearly 15% of the production. Dang!

someone call Guiness...

Well, I wat at my parents house for a birthday party tonight, and we decided to crack our 5th archive box...will post the scans later, but I thought I would share a fun little story.

I pre-sold about 15 cases of this stuff, and shipped a lot of them out last week, well while at the post office I had a case that was ready to go out, when I noticed one of the corners was beat to hell, so I decided I better pull it back and replace it with a good one...well tonight I brought down all the cases to my parents (as I have no self control) and we cracked that case to open the damaged boxes....well while pulling the boxes out I noticed that one of the boxes was quite obviously packed more full of cards...so of course my heart started racing and I ripped it open, and sure enough on the bottom of the inside of the box was a lovely sticker screaming out at me "ARCHIVE BOX" ....so of course I squeeled like a little girl, and so did my parents when I showed them. So I will be posting that archive box as well. Will save #7 for a rainy day....but the hidden ones DO exist!!!!!

wow.. that is great news.. even crazier, outta 15 cases, you managed to get 7 archive boxes.. that's one every two cases.. that can't be normal.. great luck to you though.

i hope there's luck in the boxes you sent out to me.. i should be getting them tomorrow or wednesday. stupid columbus day prolonged the agony

Actually I acquired 6 of them from dealers who got them as incentives...only one came from a case...one of a lot more than 15 cases
