Opened 2 cases of the product. Another "mess" with cards that weren't on the checklist and I guess some high number SP's with the same card number (haven't checked that yet, but was told by my dealer about it). Also being shorted "Hits" again.

Pulled 23 of the 24 regular base autos, but pulled a parallel /25 of the missing one (Miriam Gonzalez) Was short 1 base auto between the 2 cases

Of the "Best" Autos, pulled:

3 Torrie Wilson
1 Jennifer Walcott
3 Lisa Gleave (one being parallel /25)
2 Aubrie Lemon
2 Buffy Tyler
1 Miriam Gonzalez /25
1 Spencer Scott
2 Katie Lohmann
2 Megan Hauserman
1 Brandi Cunningham
2 Flo Jalin
2 Jo Garcia
Along with
Brooke Morales /25
Brittany Herrera /25

School Girl Autos

Pulled 7 of the 8 (No Traci Bingham)and was one short in my cases. Didn't get any parallels which were supposed to be 2 per case on average!

Best School Girl Autos

2 Jennifer Walcott
2 Jennifer England
1 Megan Hauserman and Cecille Gahr

Bikini Swatch (One case didn't have one)

Aubrie Lemon /25


School Girl Swatches (Extra swatch instead of Bikini)

2 Brooke Morales (One Top and One Skirt)
1 Christy Hemme

1 Buffy Tyler /50
1 Jo Garcia /25
1 Sarah Coggin /50
1 Brittany Herrera /25
1 Miriam Gonzalez Auto/Kiss /10

Super Rare Auto

Flo Jalin /25

As you can tell this is a hit or miss product. I think the extra 50 cases this time around hurt the collation even more. 4 Hits and 4 parallels short.

I almost (but not really) dread the time when new BW sets come out. Developing the "true" checklists is a lot of work.

Good luck with this one Jeff!

Collation is all over the place on this one and odds are really off on this issue. Only 3 kiss cards in 2 of my 3 cases. Some boxes had 3 base autos and others had 1. Some boxes even had 2 kiss cards.

Also Torrie Wilson is an SP Boot Camp and shares the same number with another model.

Jennifer Korbin and Jennifer Walcott seem to be Short Print for All Americans


Opened another case

This time Zero Walcott or Wilson autos. So pretty much SP's as I had figured.

Traci Bingham School Auto seems to be SP. Haven't seen one listed and didn't pull one in 3 cases.

Jennifer Walcott School Girl Swatch is 12 of 12 which was supposed to be Claudia Jordan, so who knows.


If you decide to tackle the checklist you can mark me off for the Brandi Cunningham Auto/Kiss 1/1 seeing I just pulled it in my 3rd case.

Interesting.

I see that they're trying to get the gals to use the same color ink as the foil for the parallel autos, though not everybody complied.

Torrie Wilson was the last plain auto I saw listed, so very likely an SP, and I haven't seen a Traci Bingham School auto. There's numbering changes there, with the dual seeming to be 4 of 8, Athena Lundberg 5 of 8, and Jennifer England 6 of 8.

There's a Brandi Cunningham signed Kiss that's # to 10, too! The other signed Kiss I saw was Katie Lohmann, another 1/1. If they're really 1:2 cases, I would have expected them to average #/10. There's a #/5 signed School Swatch for Megan Hauserman in addition to the #/10.

No sighting of a School Girl Swatch for Claudia Jordan, so your Walcott must have been a replacement.

I've only seen pink/25 and green/10 parallels for the "low" chase. I hate it when Brian springs these unannounced parallels on us.

If that Megan is a SG and not a Bikini, then there will probably be an international version due to all the extra auto'd swatches.

I bought two boxes and they came in yesterday. The results:

I'm happy with the breaks. Three hits in both boxes. I wanted a Torrie Wilson autograph card and I ended up getting two. I could let go of the second Torrie auto if I'm offered something nice. I might buy some more boxes.

Congrats on both boxes. I've seen some pretty dull boxes and you were fortunate enough to avoid getting one.

I got two more boxes. They came in today. The results:

Very happy about the breaks. If it hadn't been for the blank auto, it would have been a near perfect set of breaks. I wonder how the blank auto got in. I guess she forgot to sign the card and the Benchwarmer people didn't catch it. Any ideas on what I should do with the card? Contact the company?

That happens with every year and series. They just slip into the system. Personally for what the auto would be worth, the unsigned card is cooler and rarer in my opinion, seeing it is a "Certified" autograph card. I'd personally keep the card, I'm sure Brian would replace it for you if you really want an auto'd one.

Congrats on your pulls, you should keep going until you hit a dud box, seeing you are 4 for 4 and the lucky streak could continue. FYI, I wouldn't buy from the same place or seller you got the other 4 from or at least the last 2 seeing you wiped out the case of big hits.

I was at a local small card show, mostly to pick up some supplies and look around since they rarely have any non sports, but 1 guy had a sealed box and an open box with 12 packs left so we haggled a bit and he gave me a small discount for taking the box and the packs, a good price too with no shipping, taxes or Duty to worry about.

First the open 1/2 box. Got 3 autographs:

Brittany Herrera 15 of 24
Buffy Tyler 11 of 24
Amanda Paige Schoolgirl auto 8 of 8









Now for the sealed Box. The Box also had 3 autographs, but what a difference!

Athena Lundberg green foil auto 21 of 24, serial #'d 06/10
Kerrilee Keski blue foil auto 10 of 24, serial #'d 2/5
Buffy Tyler green foil auto'd Kiss card 9 of 15, serial #'d 01/10

Four more boxes:
