Suddenly it is no longer available.

Well, the Bowens card is CA-2. Maybe the Jackson is CA-1, but they weren't returned in time to make it into packs.

Someone on another forum has contacted Cryptozoic and is waiting for a reply so we shall see what they say.

That would be me I don't expect to hear back from them too quickly as I think they are a little bogged down dealing with WD3P1 questions but I will post on here as well if/when I get a reply.

The photo on the Ebay listing shows CA-1 on the back.

So it was sold then. Many a time I've been watching cards that have had a private sale and was withdrawn. Can't see it being any more sinister than this.

Cryptozoic should definitely make a cut card of Tolkien, even if it's only one. Talk about a creator autograph!

Check out the Hobbit thread in the News and Rumors section. Deligent collectors appear to have tracked down the story on the Jackson autograph.

Here's my sketch haul from my case.. I also received 2 lenticular cards and autos no A1-A6, A10, A12, A13, A15, A19, A20. What a beautiful set. So glad I ordered my case early.

Those are really nice Steve, well done.

Here is the break from my two cases

Yes I got lucky on a redemption, but disappointed that the other case shorted me 2 major hits in a sketch and a 3D card. Overall a rather nice set

Well, I finally caved in and broke my final Hobbit case. Not the best set of auto cards but at least they were all different this time Some are definitely harder to find than others, even with four cases I was still one card short of a full Master Set of autos. Minor gripes aside, I did hit three excellent sketches !

Was able to nab a pair of boxes for $75ea at the card show today. Nothing middle earth shattering but I was quite pleased...

Ah, the 7th Doctor and the Piemaker. I'd have been thrilled with either of those, and nice sketch, too. Congrats!

Can someone help me? Is there an e-mail address for Cryptozoic? I opened a Hobbit box today and pulled a damaged CA-2 Philippa Boyens autograph card. Do they have a return policy?

You should submit a ticket here: http://cryptozoic.kayako.com/

Thanks, I'll do that. I didn't want to subscribe to yet another web site, with another password, etc. But I guess I have no choice.

Any idea how long Cryptozoic usually takes to reply to problems such as these? Not that I'm concerned too much, it's only been 4 days, but I am curious.
